Tuesday, October 24, 2023 Partly Sunny High Pollen Count 52 Degrees 10:14 a.m.
Good morning one and all. I have decided that I need to do my blog in the morning as by late afternoon there is to much going one and I get distracted. So, we shall see how this works.
Today looks to be a beautiful day with the highs near 70 if not over. I hope to get out and do a bit in the front flower bed this afternoon. It can use a watering and a couple of weeds pulled. We has some rain last weekend but not near enough, so back to watering for a bit. We might get rain on Halloween.
Saturday, the day we were staying home and getting some odds and ends done around here, turned into a day at X-finity. Tina’s cell phone died. So off we went to spend the day at the X-fintity store. There is no such thing as going in and getting what you want and getting out. No, there is always a line and then it takes forever to get your problem solved. We ended up each getting new phones plus we went back on cable as Tina hates streaming and I hated missing The Today show in the morning (first hour and sometimes 2nd hour) and the evening world news. That all took four plus hours. Now we have cable TV in the living room but the box for the TV in the TV or fireplace room doesn’t work so has to be taken back and replaced. This arrangement isn’t pleasing to Sierra as she prefers us sitting back by the fireplace, in our recliners so she has a comfortable lap to nap in. One must please the cat.
The fall colors are starting to appear on the trees. They are so pretty. I think we will be taking a ride this weekend to get some pictures of all the fall beauty. Of course, our temperatures are going up instead of down at the moment so am not sure just how that will effect the trees. The weatherman said we should reach 81 by Sunday. Then it should start going down again. WE have had a couple of frosts which helps the leaves turn the beautiful colors. It is nice not having the air conditioner on , nor the heater on. That helps the electric bill go down. Ours hasn’t been bad once we figured out that the electric, water, sewer and garbage are all in one bill. It averages between $150.00 to $200.00 each month.
Our floors are in limbo. The guys that are putting them in are waiting for the flooring to arrive. We are in hopes that it will be here and they can make our TV room pretty this weekend. We shall see. With so many companies and industries on strike who know when we will be able to get them done.

Have a great Tuesday. Make it a productive, positive, cheerful, kind and fun day.
