Yes, yes, you read the title correctly. We have had sunshine for three, count'em 1,2,3 days in a row. Everybody in town has been out and about enjoying the lovely weather. Our weather girl is saying tomorrow morning will probably be the last of it so we better enjoy it. Heavenly Father has given us a peak at glory to get us through the gloomy days ahead. I, for one, surely do thank Him.
All the beans have been harvested in our area but there is still a lot of corn standing in the fields, along with the pumpkins. Many fields are still too mucky for the equipment to get in without bogging down. I'm uncertain why they don't hire men to come in and harvest the pumpkins at least by hand. Oh yes, expect to pay a tidy ransom for a can of pumpkin this year IF you can find any on the shelf. Signs of the times??
What are you doing for Thanksgiving.
Sweet Man and I will have no family for here so we will have a friend over and have a quiet dinner and probably a ride afterward.
A thought . . . .
Thursday when we sit down to dinner with whomever we're with, please let us remember those early pioneers who came here on ships across a vast ocean. What amazing people they were to pave the way for you and I to be here in this great country of ours. My father's people came to this land a long long time ago, I can hardly wait to meet them in the eternities so they can tell me about their great adventures upon landing in North America. I'm eternally grateful to those stalwart people who stayed the course and saw their dreams through. You and I could have had an entirely different life without their fortitude, their desire for something better and their commitment. Let us be thankful to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for all that we have, none of it would be possible without them.
Have a lovely day and a wonderful Thanksgiving wherever in the world you are.

Another Dreary Day
It's another gray day in the Heartland. How many of these can there be left? My spirits have been lifted however because the noon news assures me we're going to have sunshine come the weekend. Heavenly Father, please help me hold out till then....
I did the laundry yesterday and have ironing to do today but just don't want to do it. Ever feel that way? I'm kind of listless, don't know what to do, where to go, and can't make a major decision to save my life.
Sooooo, I decided it was okay to be listless, I didn't have to go anywhere and I didn't need to make any major decisions. Instead I put on my long fleece robe, warmed up a rice bag and picked out a series on DVD! I have a few so I just stuck my hand in the cupboard and out came Christy.
That's what I've been doing for the last two hours and I so enjoyed it.
Just before I started the series I started up a pot of chili and now it's ready to eat so I'm outta here for a warm bowl and a pile of buttered crackers.
Have a lovely day wherever in the world you are. Miss NanC

Hello World
Hello Family and Friends,
Just a quick note to let you all know that I haven't gone to that big blogging place in the sky.
Since my Canadian daughter left we have had nothing but gray skies and wet weather. DEPRESSING!
We've had sunshine for the last four days and it's been GRAND to say the least.
Saturday I blew leaves till I thought my arms would fall off. The city vac sucked them up on Monday morning and my yard is full again. I have two Maples and one Tulip tree in the front and they're still not empty of leaves. Our neighbor has a Silver Maple in front and it's always done de-leafing after the city vac guys stop picking up for the year, it's frustrating.
I don't like to burn if I can help it but you can only compost so many leaves. Ever seen the leaves from a Tulip tree? They're very large and it doesn't take much to fill the yard.
Anyway hope everyone who stops by to take a peek had a wonderful October. I have photos of the beautiful color but can 't figure how to get the photos where they need to be. (New PC, UGGGGH!)
I have chores to finish up so will just say have a lovely day wherever in the world you are. NanC
