It's raining,
I made vegetable soup yesterday....every vegetable in the cupboard, in the fridge, in the freezer I could find plus a can of white beans and some tiny pasta. I had a nice bowl for supper and today is REALLY SOUP weather.. Dark and Wet with nice chill in the air. I spotted two short squat deer in the back yard yesterday...dwarf somethings.. could they have been goats????..eating things- things that don't matter in October... so I left them to it.
News....well I am going to start blocking the News channels and just read the paper. Discussing things you can't do anything about is a true waste of time. That's like talking about starting a diet while eating donuts. I'm not starting a diet and I have zero donuts (which is incredibly sad).
I wrote checks and balanced my checkbook.......like being smacked around with wooden stick. and I have a HUGE Property Tax Bill to pay this week....... and VOTE. That's this week also.
And a wake up since I was actually reminiscing about the olden days when companies sent out catalogs of all sorts of things I liked to buy... I have a stack of 25 cent LL Bean corduroy pants in the closet...all good..never worn by me or anyone else. Sometimes one leg is longer than the other???? I can hem... Sometimes there's a rip. I can mend. And since I wear them in the house....or in cold weather under a long black wool coat.....no one sees them...or cares. I recall ( early in my time here in Maine) seeing old women shopping in the grocery in their nightgown and a coat. I understand..now.
