Your daughter and her daddy... thank God you're a newlywed and starting over, even if it's a bit of an adjustment. Thanks for the kind words - I've heard "jealousy" as a motive - why can't we be happy for others who succeed and do well and look great?? Oh well. Off to walk dogs and enjoy what's left of an October day. The sun keeps setting earlier but spring will come.... and you are NOT a "flaky" writer, and you will move forward. :)

:) I agree with you and by flaky I just mean inconsistent. Today was an exceptionally beautiful fall day. I hope your walk was refreshing! I'm not looking forward to the cold winter months looming ahead.
The long, cold winter: I used to dread it too. Now I look forward to a respite from chiggers, ticks mosquitoes, poison ivy, humidity, heat, and other hazards of summer. Just, not TOO cold, please, none of that prolonged, sub-zero stuff, and no icy roads, but snow is pretty and the curl of smoke against pewter skies, the smell of woodfires burning, and hot cider mulling.... yeah, pass me the knitting needles, I might even learn to knit a warm woolen blanket. NO ICY ROADS, right? Deal....?
Eh. I'll be counting the days until spring, just as soon as December 21 arrives.
That was a delightful comment to read! Where are you that you have chiggers? We have tics, poison ivy, poison oak, deer flies and lots of mosquitoes. I am a summer kind of girl. I need the hope of sun to look forward to, especially now that I work from home. Our winter starts in November and goes through end of May😖.
