Your end-of-season garden work seems well underway and nearly complete. I'm also near the finish line. A few more times mowing lawns, clearing fallen leaves and removing invasive weeds in the forest will be ongoing until frost. Being outside in the coolness of Autumn working the land is always enjoyed. The Balloon is quite spectacular.

Loved 'The Good Life' back in the day but I cannot watch old episodes now - I now find the way Tom was written is bordering on bullying and quite uncomfortable. <br /><br />But yes, it's so sad that Christmas, for so many, is about what they can buy and over-eating.<br /><br />Sorry I have missed so many of your recent posts, a combination of trying to get stuff done outside before the weather breaks and the ensuing tiredness leaves little brain-power for the computer 🥲.

It was plenty noisy and woke the house.

We suddenly heard a 'whishing' and 'blowing' sound from above the tall trees. MIL said "What could that be?" My uncertain reply was "A dragon?!" We laughed as two gloriously colorful hot air balloons appeared through the leafy cover over our heads. Some experiences are touched by magic!<br /><br />Hugs!Barbara Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-5110197246901991792021-10-16T20:13:12.458+01:002021-10-16T20:13:12.458+01:00You have had a very busy and successful week.

Like you (and many others), I pick up things throughout the year for a gift stash. It's a habit started decades ago when funds were tight and just sort of stuck. I'm not worried about shortages this holiday season. In fact, I'm not even sure where we'll be this holiday season! DH "officially" retires on Christmas Eve and we'll be moving out of state just before... or maybe after that. But a holiday is what you make of it, wherever you are. --EliseEM Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897942424655139102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-61030350347137477662021-10-16T13:34:15.400+01:002021-10-16T13:34:15.400+01:00Thank you!
