Dear Fall 2020 - Things I like About You!

Dear Fall 2020 -   

I thought by now "things" would be different -- better -  but we're not there yet, are we?

However, there are still a number of things to like/love about fall including:

Orange Pumpkins!   

While I kind of love the gnarly ones, I  really like the orange ones too!  

So perfect, so orange, so fallish!

Squirrels!  

Truthfully -- I have a hate/hate relationship with squirrels.  

The squirrels in our hood are doing some damage!  

Our yard probably has 50,000 acorns lying about, even though I sweep the 

sidewalk and street every other day.  Yes, I am that weird lady who sweeps the street.

  A couple years ago, when it was icy, I chopped the ice and attempted to sweep the ice away.  

My neighbors thought I was cray-crazy! ;)

Back to squirrels - the squirrels are throwing acorns at our vehicles - with a lot of force!

  Frannie thinks that maybe someday she'll be able to catch a squirrel - doubtful.  

Until then, she drags acorns to the backyard and munches on them as appetizers! 

 I'm constantly saying - "drop it Frannie -- acorns are not kibble!"

Cooler Temps!  

Who doesn't love the lower humidity and cooler morning temps!

  It's making  me feel so happy and relieved that I don't have to fight my hair and frizz 

quite so much every day.

Sweaters and Throws.  

Going along with those cooler temps means having some throws on the sofa -- 

we love cuddling up and watching some lame tv!  

What about you?

What do you like best about fall?

5 on Friday!

Greetings Al!  

 It's time for 5 ON FRIDAY -
provided on Thursday for your reading enjoyment!

 5 things I've been thinking about lately and may or may not interest you.

1.  New Senior Photos.  I thought I really liked Maddie's senior photos from last summer -- until we did a "redo" of  senior photos that I'm calling - Part 2 - the Graduate. The new ones really look more like her and capture her beautiful smile and spirit, so I'm including a few spread through this post!  Maddie had a change in plans and is attending our local community college now. 

2.  Traffic Around Here Lately.   I think I got used to very little traffic during the big shutdown.  You know,  I've always been a bit of a nervous driver, but now I find myself going out of my way to avoid making left-turns at certain intersections!  

Yes, it's true -- I'm that little old lady who goes slow and stops at yellow lights. 

 Hey people behind me - - deal with it!

3.  The Littles.  Oh my goodness, the littles are getting so big!  Jane is 10!!  

What the heck??  The baby, Gloria, is 1-1/2 and I believe she inherited my curly hair.
Well, both her mom and dad  have kinda curly hair too,
but let's say it's from me.

 Of course, it looks adorable on her. 

4.  Flamingo.  Have you heard of that Flamingo product for self-waxing???  

I bought some ages ago (before the pandemic) and  was afraid to use it. 

 Don't be afraid if you have some too and haven't tried it. 

 It doesn't hurt and it also doesn't do a very good job.  

Note to self - make real waxing appointment soon!

5.  The New Blogger.  What the heck is going on with Blogger?  

Makes me sad that it is tricky to do blog posts.  

Thanks to Laurie L for pointing out how to "Revert to Legacy Blogger" but it appears

 that  we will continue to have to revert until they take the legacy blogger away entirely.  

Happy Friday Friends!!
