It's an absolutely spectacular day! One of those perfect Fall days where the sky is a clear blue, and it's cool, but not cold. The sun warms you when you walk or work and everything feels RIGHT!
I dragged my mother to the Farmers Market this morning. I wanted to pick up gourds and pumpkins and corn to use as decorations, and we needed to drop a gift off. The man who sharpens knives refuses to let my mother pay for his services. He flirts with her as he pumps the treadle for his wheel, and she loves the attention. And this year, he sharpened my pruners and knives and wouldn't let ME pay him. So, I chose two bottles of my favorite wine, and wrapped them up, and added two jars of Mother's home made chili sauce. This will be the last time she sees him this year. He wanted the chance to wish her well for the winter, so I'm glad we went.
I stopped at McDonald's and got Mother settled with a cup of coffee while I went next door to have the car washed. Then, we went to a local nursery to pick up a bale of straw and play with their nine week old Australian cattle dog. What a sweet pup!
I plan to use the rest of the day to get some outside chores done. I want to repot a couple of things, and get a few last minute plants into the ground. It's a good day for it.
So, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend, too! Catch ya later!
