Thanks for the link to Substack, Patricia.  I subscribed to Karen's musings and was surprised to learn that she lives back home.  Just across the Ks/Mo border from where I grew up.  I am loving it,too.

Beautiful day today and cool. The perfect Autumn day. Take care, All

Good morning..

Starting out at 32° with more rain today and the possibility of snow tomorrow.
Can't complain about the weather so far .

We had a nice luncheon yesterday, pork chops with stewed apples ,bake potato, buttered corn ,bun and pineapple upside down cake. All that was missing was a couch to have a nap on. The ladies at the church really put on a good meal. A gentleman goes around and fills your tea or coffee cup.

Jenny, no or very little work got done yesterday, I was as full as a tick after the lunch and yes needed a nap! No, you are not lazy!

MG, Shan is one year older than Jesse. He turns 8 on the 28th of this month. Time flies!!

Phyllis, hope you and David are feeling a lot better now.

Patricia, that is beautiful photography......sending it on to a friend that also photographs birds.

Barb, everything is done in moderation. My mind tells me "you can do it" My body tells me "don't you dare do that again" !

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Hi Jane. So happy to see your post. I hope you, Frankie, et.al., are doing well.

phyllis

So nice to see all here this morning and especially nice to see friends that have not been able to be here for awhile.
David and I are both doing well right now and hoping to keep it that way. Thanks for thinking of us, Amy.
I will  try cutting up some Granny Smith apples today so David can make some of his good applesauce. For someone who doesn't like to cook he makes a very tasty applesauce. It doesn't last long enough is the only problem.
Take care,  All.

Good morning and Happy Veterans Day to all the vets out there. Thank you for your service.

The weather is its usual snow, rain, ice, and repeat. Plus 15, presently at 7:42 am. Meet-and-greets, morning chores and routines done, coffee in hand, I'm waiting to see what the rest of the day brings. Yesterday, I got tired of my hair in my face and snipped off the offending parts. I went from a page boy to a structured bob, which looks better, and I'm no longer bothered by it in my face.

Thank you, Phyllis and Amy, for your comments. I enjoy photography, especially photos of mountains or rivers, so I've enjoyed Substack and many photographers.


It's so nice to see you posting again, Jane. You've been missed.

Oh lordy did it again - saw your post Rick about a Shan joining the group and of course back tracked to see if there was a post from Shan and in the process lost my entire almost finished post - sheesh

Can't repeat but wanted to say how wonderful to see your post Jane - and that was some lunch Amy, i bet your had a really light supper that evening - home made apple sauce what a treat Phyllis and I bet the apples were from right there in NC - OK Patricia a home made 'structured' bob hmmm although sometimes what we do ourselves works better.

Still chilly not as cold as the last two days and still rain showers off and on... been tackling the hall cupboards and almost finished - it would be nice however I doubt I'll finish today...

Barb, I've always had baby-fine hair and usually short bobs.  And yes, with hairdressers wanting close to a hundred, I usually cut my own.

Re: losing your posts. If I'm writing more than a couple of lines or posting a graphic in cards, I will open two pages of S&F side by side. This way, if something happens, I still have my post.

P.S. Rick was commenting on MarsGal's cat, Shan, having a birthday.

Amy

Good morning

Starting off chilly again,30° and no sign of sun.

Will go for tea with friends ,pick up a few groceries then home to make pastry.  I need to get my tires torqued, keep forgetting to do that and had better do it today!

Barb, I had some yogurt for supper Tue night. Too full to have a big meal!

Phyllis, you just reminded me I have some apples to be put into pies..or handpies. Will think about that and one or the other w or maybe both will get done.

Jane, nice to see you!! You will soon be baking up your Christmas cakes.


Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Tell us about that. Sounds like something we don't have to do down here. Is it because of the cold, and metal shrinking (contracting) as it gets cold?

I could be wrong and hopefully Amy sees your post Rick and answers but from what I understand where tires are changed for summer driving versus winter driving after driving on the changed tires for about 50 miles the nuts are re-torqued to assure the lug nuts have not lost their proper tightness or that grit has not gotten between them and the hub of the tire.

Sun is out today - not a strong show of brightness but no overcast for a change - nice - grass cutting crew just left - probably go in and take a nap and here it is not even noon but last night was 'loud' - nearby business added another shipping container to their collection that they use to store supplies and the boom of the drop could wake up the dead plus, all the off and on hammering taking place at 3: in the morning - turned over on my good ear to help block the sound but once wakened like that a good  sleep never really follows - then having to be up and at'em to write the check to the crew who cuts the lawn - enough for one morning says I and a nap will do it...

Amy

Ever have a frustrating day??? Mercy!! Needed to replace a doorknob with a locking one and that is the second job I dislike!

We had a few flurries of snow.. nothing to worry about.....but we do know it is coming. Hung the dogs bedding out on the line and with the wind it will be dry in no time.

Barb, thank you, that is exactly why it is done. Kyle usually reminded me about doing that. Must admit gotta love naps!!

Never heard of doing that around here, and never heard of it being a problem.  Maybe just do it right the first time?

They do Rick but this is just a extra precaution.
