Chilly 66 degrees......Sunshine Tuesday, October 22nd.

 Autumn.   The sun is shining.  The Ornamental Planters have been taken care of.  The non organic soil has been sifted and stored in the 30 gallon garbage cans.   The garbage and re-cycling went out (to the street) and was picked up by the garbage truck.

I have a large load of laundry in the machine which is now in the dryer.  I am being productive.  I also cleared my section of the table of all the stuff I no longer need to have on the table.  I found a very interesting paper (for a talk I gave) on the reason for heavily embroidered silk and ribbon quilts......if any one out there is interested....I will send the many pages of it to you.  I think, at the time, it could have been a published article.  The Industrial Revolution. Chemical dyes for cloth etc. 

I have no plans for today- the shower and the load in the washer might have been all I can do today- in an hour or so- I will fold and put away the clothing.  Be done for the day...I am walking like a 90 year old this morning. The bones and joints are showing their age.  I may need a walker in the next few years.

I watched the football last night.  Monday Night Football.  Tampa and the Saints.  

I took a cough and cold capsule....slept well and no coughing.  Just the one.  A full serving is two. I took them last year at this time as well.  The dry house air I think.......no fever, no congestion etc. Just the cough.

The half a snack bag of leftover Potato Chips is calling my name.....I am resisting.  Resistance is Futile.

I cleared MY one foot by one foot section of the dining room table.  Stuff I didn't need... there is still stuff (paper) there...but I might need some of it.  I am doing a great job of mailing off bills the day after they arrive.....a New Leaf that I am turning.  I emptied the paper shredder one day late....the garbage guys collect shredded paper.  Next week.......they get shredded paper- it just needs to be in a clear plastic bag. 

I have stopped collecting things for the compost bins....it was time to stop.

Well, I library books to order... see you tomorrow...
