This is actually a pretty busy month. Most of the leaves have fallen from the trees so there's a lot to do to get the yard ready for winter. We'll harvest everything from the garden in the next week or two. There's a bit of work to do on the house, I put in new front and back entry doors and have a little bit of touching up to complete them. It's a good month for thanksgiving, there's a lot to be thankful for from the first 9 months. Have a good October

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Turkey and all the trimmings............and love and gratitude!
Love ya,
ME
xoxoxoxo
I would like to reply to your message
Though I thought I had sent it before,
Like a scene from a Hollywood movie
It was lost on the cutting room floor
So this is a second thank you
And I'm sorry it isn't the same,
The first one is out in the cloud somewhere
Lacking a password to follow my name
You're not supposed to make them simple
No two of them should be the same
It's really hard to remember each password
Sometimes I can't even remember my name
One for power, water and gas, and taxes
Insurance, Facebook and your banker,
The DMV, email, E-health and the blog
The butcher, the baker the candlestick maker
Oops, I guess I got off on a rant there
It's not like me to put up such a fuss,
We really just wanted to say thank you
For the "Happy Anniversary" to us.
Love Deanie and Ed
๐ฉ❤️๐จDear Deanie and Edward,
We appreciate your thank you!๐
(We, too, share the “password curse”).๐ค
Now, we know you liked our greeting ๐
and we love your clever verse.๐️
๐Hugs, Louise and David
