Goodbye October

Boo!

We have a perfect day for Halloween if you want dreary. At least the rain was last night so the little spooks should be fine. It's been thirty-three years since any spooks knocked on my door. One of the many surprises this city girl had waiting in this rural area. We were loaded up with candy, a little thinking may have been in order, but no one came. We had candy bars for a couple of months. Baby Ruth if I remember correctly.

Good day to all, whether there are little spooks involved or not.

For days it had been overcast and raining. This morning I walked into the kitchen to see this. I am an amateur iPhone photo taker, obviously, but you get the picture (😋).

Then there is light in the pass-through pantry that caught my eye.

 While Gatto contemplated life while sitting on a heat register.

I'm doing the one-day-at a-time thing. The procedure on my back is next week. I remain hopeful, if a bit grumpy. 

Mark picked up my grocery order. I can only imagine what the shopper thinks. I eat a lot of fruit.

I hope you are all well and living your best life. I will be checking in.

If it Applies Please Reconsider

Because it’s Important

Clocked Out

I had nerve ablation on my neck Thursday and the doctor did not lie. I am in pain. No fears, I will return to regale you all with my cats, horses and food. But for now, I am glued to a chair with an icepack and a grumpy mood. 

Why Make a Bed?

There are times I secretly envy cats.

 

Which Way Will the Country Choose to Go?

Just a thought 

 

 

I would add where all people are considered human.

Good Day

At one time or another......

Quick and easy. I think this deserves mood lighting.

 

Contentment of Cats

The life of Riley.

We have a rainy, chilly day. I made the move yesterday and turned on the furnace. Not too warm, but takes the chill out. Five days until my appointment for nerve ablation. I've been warned there will be pain for a few days afterward, so I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it. With the changes coming in '27 to the supplemental Medicare insurance we need to get anything that's been put off done. This is pointed directly at me.

Song

 

This is for AC, and any one else who wants to listen. He had posted on Granny Sue's blog he didn't know John Price. This is a sad favorite of mine.

John Prine died from Covid.

What Day Is It?

The same day as every day. 

Cats Day!

It seems obvious which cat hangs out with the two-legged critters.

She shows up when she wants to.

The first braise of the season. I'm out of carrots so the color is bland but the taste was not. A chuck roast and the last sweet corn of the season. We had a first and a last.

We will reach nearly 90 F/32 C today. The cities will likely reach 90. In October. In Minnesota.  I'll say no more. 

Happy Saturday. I mean Caturday.
