Washing windows inside and out!

Another beautiful day here in Southern Ontario, Canada. 75 degrees and sunny. So I've cut all the grass, winterized the rain barrel, and emptied, organized and refilled the garden shed! Then I went grocery shopping! Now I'm pooped!
DH will grill something for dinner when he gets home. I'm going to relax on the deck with a glass of wine. The weather is supposed to change tomorrow to more seasonal, wet weather, so I'm going to enjoy my evening outside as much as I can.

Was soaking up the unseasonable warmth of the sun, until I came in here to talk to you guys ... and the new library has large windows all along one wall, so I can continue to enjoy it, even if second-handed. Community centre has a forest of solar panels covering all of the roof and has two ice rinks.

Gotta pay my utility bills and get some money from the bank, as I used almost all of my bills on Sunday (but change purse has quite a lot of value when heavy, including the $1.00 and $2.00 coins).

Church Council this evening.

Problem - I need to write up a letter certifying the amount of rent that I paid last year for landlord to sign, to send to Canada Revenue Agency, as they asked me for such ... but library printer is down.

ole joyful

Here I. am in Winnipeg, Man., enjoying our last beautiful fall day, I am cleaning out the flower beds and mulching the perennials. Gotta love it. Supposed to be a cold snowy winter, but we are heading down to Fla. soon, so we'll have a good winter no matter what happens here up north. However, I still manage to complain about the hot temps down there. Hubby says I am never happy, but I sure am today.

laundry, kitchen clean up, and now taking the dog to the vet.

It's windy outside, so normal for Nebraska just before the big chill. I'm taking another break at the kt. Just finished washing my dd's horse because she's at school and it's almost 80 today. His name is Jack and he's a cutie head. Such a nice boy because he's been at the trainers all summer up until the 5th when he came here. He wanted to roll ( I did NOT want him to) after his bath and I couldn't find a sturdy place to tie him up in this PITA wind. Tried one place but he was all worried and well, just being a horse. Finally put him in his stall, where I had to sweep up the horse pucks in case he rolled in there. I washed him near my garden shed, at the tie up so the ground was soggy and he was digging around, sloshing mud up. Couldn't leave him there either. Now I'm tired from our walk all over the farm but at least he's sparkly clean. Time to run to town for laundry soap and pick up the youngster from school. She owes me! :)

My boss!!! LOL!!! The weather is supposed to change tomorrow and he is traveling today so I was really hoping that I would be able to sneak outside and get a few things done. No such luck, he left later than planned and left me with a desk full of work! AAAACCCKKKKK!

Just taking it easy waiting for the Detroit Tigers/Texas Rangers ALCS game tonight. Their game was so emotionally draining last night that fans need all day to rest.

I've been a bit lazy.

Was up early, had a dentist appt. to have my new crown installed. Unfortunately, when he was shaping it, his hand slipped and he--I'm not kidding--drilled my TONGUE! Ouch!!! Have to say, it's a bit sore, and swollen (I'm lisping a bit when I speak).

Then a run to the bank.

Came home, was on the phone for a bit--trying to order a cake for Thanksgiving (the guy is a true artist, but SO hard to catch up with), and arranging with my dd when she wanted me to sit at her condo to accept a furniture delivery.

Otherwise, just kind of messing around on here, and reading. Now, waiting for DH to get home--he had overtime tonight, and then he had to go for an X-ray.

Slept in today, my day off. Then ran to Frankfort to cancel a layaway of a violin for Alex for Christmas. He wanted to learn to play but when I asked Lauren to pass on the fact that I put one on layaway to her father, he sent back a message saying he already bought him one. Thank goodness the shop had a 30 day cancellation policy.

Then went to Wal-Mart in Frankfort to do some shopping for a lunch we're having tomorrow at a friend's house. I'm baking a Marie Calender pumpkin pie right now for it. I'm also going to make a pumpkin caramel dessert (boxed) that I bought about a week ago. It's probably not going to be enough for all of us so I went and got the pumpkin pie too.

Going to make some tacos for dinner tonight too...thawing out the ground beef now. Then I want to relax and read the paper and watch a movie I rented last night. I may end up having to do laundry tonight too since tomorrow will probably be busy.
