Cooler yet
Oct 06 2008 04:49

I must get down and pick petunias for a last bouquet.  I can feel that our summer color is about to sucumb to the changing season.  I woke with Godiva behind me and Sonny kit in front- for sure cooler!   We'll be turning on the heater soon.  The huge plastic Jack O Lantern out front is silly yet welcome: life is no good without a laugh.  Jack rode in the front passenger seat over the Pass-  ( I found him on one of my Western trips) I giggled at construction workers, wondering what they thought cause Jack took up all the room possible.  The silly face beaming at them as we drove by. 

I put an inquiry on the Animal Shelter's phone yesterday. Probably too early to have gotten it.  We walked about 2 miles yesterday.

Today: too much back pain.  For sure headed to the pool after the library.  The nasty reality is that this spine junk correlates with how arthritis behaves: colder weather equals more pain.  Giving up is not an option.  By this afternoon, the pain will probably ease some.  I am grateful that our appliances work; we've had the stove element go out and its no fun to replace.  I am grateful for the machines that make my life easier.
