Fall Decor

Since Wayne has been in care, I rarely decorate, at least not how we used to. Decided this fall to make a dining centerpiece and bought a wreath for the door.

This "all purpose" dining table plant gets gussied up for Christmas also - minus the fall stuff:)

Ok, messed these pics up -I was trying to get pics without moving the arrangement - have to go now but will re-do it tomorrow.

It Isn't Fair - - -

So, I find the locking gas cap a bit of a mystery, usually I can unlock right off - sometimes I have to "play" with it.

Anyway, was struggling with it and decided to ask a "young fellow" about 45 years old if he could help. Instantly I started babbling how usually I can unlock it but today I just can't, blah, blah.

As he approached,took one look, "You need the key, Lady!!!"

Now I started babbling apologies and he kind of laughed, got in his car and said I hope your day goes better. How embarrassing.

Is anyone else hooked on Chico's? I love the place and find the styles and colors wonderful for me.Signed up for their emails and catalogues - it's Christmas everyday in my mind:)

Flower Power

So I was deadheading flowers yesterday - a marigold seed head was caught in a pocket corner - what a disaster in the washer. The (white) pants are totally ruined - dye all over in splotches and another pair is stained on the behind.

I did the pre-wash thing and added dry bleach - didn't touch it. I'm considering chlorine bleach as the slacks are ruined anyway - I understand now how American Native Indians used plants for dye. It works!

Good Morning to Me - - -

So, I opened the kitchen blind which "caught" the lamp shade which moved the coffee carafe which knocked a glass on the floor - breaking it.

How's your morning going?

On another note, fall is in the air even tho it's 30 degrees (90) during the day. When I look out at 7am and open windows, there is a distinct dampness which wasn't there last week and the bright blue sky has high wispy clouds. Have a great day, I'm off the find my long johns.

Wow, imagineomit.blogspot.com has been on a cleaning frenzy - I haven't frenzied yet but I do my kitchen drawers and all the utensils about 3 times a year. Everything goes in the dishwasher and looks very sparkly til the next frenzy:)

This morn I ran a couple loads of Tupperware thru as not used much being on my own. Hopefully I will have a BBQ or two and try to crawl out of my shell.

Unreal

Can you imagine how wonderful this would be - kind of like the bear who wakes up in spring with new babe:)
