Sunshine With Breakfast.

A Gloomy, Blustery, Day....

It has been so windy, that I keep thinking of what Winnie the Pooh said in The Blustery Day. It went something like this:

"I know today is Windsday,

And this is how I know;

It is always on a Windsday

That the winds begin to blow."

....Yes, it should be Windsday, not Tuesday......

Because of all the wind and rain, we had a power outage this morning, and it lasted for around two hours. Of course it had to happen while Miss Posy and Boots were playing down the basement in her tent. The poor little things couldn't find their way out of it, and I was bumbling around in the dark trying to help..........~such terrified screaming and crying!!!! I think they will be traumatized for life!~And my ears will never quite be the same again. It is really pretty hilarious now that I look back on it........I know, I'm heartless.......

Looking~Glass Morning

"Oh, Kitty, how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking~Glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty."

~Alice, in Through The Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll

~~~~~~~

I was feeling a bit like Alice this morning......but then I started thinking how a Looking~Glass house was sure to have just as many dirty dishes and piles of laundry as my own.........and worst of all; everything would have to be done backwards ~for that's how things work in the Looking~Glass world...........I guess, I'm happy to stay right here! ;)

An October Picture and Poem.......

~October's Party~

By George Cooper

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came~

The Chestnuts,Oaks, and Maples

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,

The Oaks in crimson dressed;

The lovely Misses Maple

In scarlet looked their best;

All balanced to their partners,

And gaily fluttered by;

The sight was like a rainbow

New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,

At hide-and-seek they played,

The party closed at sundown,

And everybody stayed.

Professor Wind played louder;

They flew along the ground;

And then the party ended

In jolly "hands around."

The Bonus

to making pie for after~dinner~dessert, is that you can usually count on a slice for breakfast the next morning............at least that's what I do. This is a blueberry/mulberry pie. It is very good with coffee;)

~~~~~~~~~~

Last night my dear husband brought home a large manila envelope...........

~What was inside?

The official survey papers of our property!!!!!!! Hurray!!!!!! Now it shouldn't be long 'til we close!!!

We have exactly nine and a half acres, and it looks like the wooded area, which my husband was hoping would all be included, is.

It is so exciting......

Tomatoes......

The kids are still bringing them in from the garden! I will miss them so much when they are gone!!!!

On Patience....

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them ~every day begin the task anew."

~St Francis de Sales
