It’s way past my bed time, but I wanted a chance to blog before I call it a day. We have a guest tonight, so I spent part of my evening cleaning. I laid a fire and lit it before she arrived, along with some vanilla scented candles.
\nDH and I covered the plants at the front of the house with light plastic tarps. We are supposed to have temperatures drop to about 23, so we’re expecting our first hard frost. I don’t know if the plastic will be adequate protection, but the heat radiating off the bricks may sustain the plants for another night.
\nThe dog and cat have been fed, and most of the dishes have been washed. The clothes have been folded, and the house is closed up for the night.
\nI like this time of day. I wish that I could find a compromise between having the quiet of the house to myself late at night, and having to get up early to get a start on my day. I particularly like that my phone stops ringing around 10:00. When you were a kid, did your parents teach you that you weren’t to make phone calls after 9:00 unless it was an emergency? I tried to teach that to my stepchildren, and they thought I was crazy.
\nTomorrow we have the last of the preparations for the wedding on Saturday. I have the last of my clothing shopping to do, and Mother and I have appointments for manicures.
\nThe fire is starting to die down, and I’m just about out of tea. Time to toddle off. Good night all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
