October Sun

Sitting in the shade on this warm October day it is almost hard to remember that it is autumn. According to the app on my phone it is 75 degrees out. I have puttered in the yard some and have decided that since Aesop has a bone to chew on, I can sit. 

Aesop and his bone.

It was an eleven and a half hour work day for me and my feet hurt. The holidays are coming and my hours will be extended so I am trying to ease myself into working a little late. I might even volunteer for an additional shift someday. Today, I happily rested my feet, sitting in the shade. Other happy things for today:

• I have enjoyed watching how the pinecones on the tree by the garden have been developing. They were small and green and now are brown and larger.

                                                  

• A few days ago I noticed a rose bloom on one of the front bushes. I went to photograph it and found a bud, not quite open, with the fading bloom below.

                                                  

• Before I headed to slumberland, Gideon had to show me the Minecraft YouTube channel and the potential new mobs that people will be able to vote for.  Gideon was very excited to share that with me.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
