Fall

The last six out of seven weekends we have had rain and even some snow.
A few days, it was frigid cold and felt like winter!
All the rain took away some of the fall colors so now it looks like November.

Not too crazy about the snow coming.
The children are already making their Christmas lists.
I told them they should be "short lists" as Santa is poor this year. LOL

Just A Note

WOW -- time flies.
I have been extremely busy so there has been neglect here.

I am trying to reorganize this blog as it does need an overhaul however, I am finding I am not online much to do it quickly, only in bits and pieces in small frames of time.

Hope all is well in your world.
I turned off my comments again due to the volume of spam that has been posted in my blog. Unfortunately, if I turn them off, I lose all past comments but since there has been troubles, I see no reason why I should put them on since I have no control over them and the spam sweeper does not seem to work. So for now, it is a read only blog -- which is very sad indeed.

Labor Day

Summer is almost over. It has gone by very fast.

Hopefully no more super humid days like we had for a few weeks.

Children are back in school and enjoying their new teachers.

I have some big projects going on so I am busier than I would like to be.

Spam still happens here, which is discouraging since there is no control over it.
