The Good Day All Thread

Good morning all. Temp started out around 35 this morning, the average date of first freeze for here is Nov 22, but it didn't happen this year. Might next weekend.
Takes more than a snow storm to make me clean house, but today is one of those days. I don't know why the mood struck me, I guess it's the crunch of the leaves ..... on the livingroom floor that brought about a sense of guilt.

 

Good morning all. Leaves are still crunching on my floor, I realized that I have a couple of holiday gifts to finish knitting so I worked on those instead....the floors will always be dirty, but finishing the gifts has a deadline.

Hank, I am one of those housewives who clean just enough to keep the health department off my back and usually just before expected company arrives. If unexpected company furrows one eyebrow or rolls even one eye, they get handed the broom and dust pan.

We bought one Christmas gift over the weekend, I was going to be very organized and start shopping early but then both vehicles ended up needing some fairly major repairs this fall and when we got rain for the first time in 5 months we found that the roof was leaking.

 

Good morning all. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be our last dry and warmish days for the week, then two warm and wet days followed by three cold and wet days.
We have decided to make today a junque shopping day. Haven't been on one in ages, I really don't need anymore junque but you never know what remarkably wonderful piece of junque may be just sitting and waiting for me to discover it and bring it home.

 

Good morning all. Overcast and warm today, supposed to reach 71 today and tomorrow.....wrong, this is November, I expect cold weather and at least rain. But then I do sometimes forget to be realistic in my expectations, we have had years with absolutely no winter weather to speak of and some with ice storms all of Thanksgiving week. The trees are showing some color but it's hard to distinguish between the ones that are yellow-brown because the drought killed them and those that are yellow-brown because it's Autumn.

 

Good (too early to tell actually but since I accidentally booted the cat (dark cat no lights on) I think my day is starting better than his) Morning (thankfully only once a year I get up before the sun) All (everyone).

Turkey breasts are in the oven, duck will go in later. Made the fudge pecan pie last night. Still have the deviled eggs to finish, dressing to make (it's from a box so there is no hurry there), green bean casserole to assemble, frozen rolls are on the counter thawing and I do believe that next year we will make reservations and go out for Thanksgiving dinner. Can't believe I used to cook the whole meal, everything from scratch....bought the Turkey, didn't raise it and we had my parents and Randy's family here. But I am now older, smarter and really not interested in doing a lot of cooking anymore. Some would call that lazy but I prefer to think of my aged self as being 'green' and saving energy.

I just realized that I forgot to eat supper last night. Randy goes out to dinner with friends on Wednesdays and usually brings something home for me, but I wasn't hungry so I just forgot about eating.

So how is your day going?

 

I just opened the front door and there are Christmas lights on at two houses across the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know my oldest will have her tree up and decorated by 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but at least she waits until after Thanksgiving for crying out loud.

 

Good morning all, the rain started about 3 yesterday afternoon and has only just slowed to a steady but heavy sprinkle. 4.73 inches in my gauge with chances of more through Sunday morning. The temperature will be dropping tomorrow but not low enough to cause wintery conditions. I was beginning to wonder if November was going to be a hot and dry one, but now at least it will be just warm but wet.
