The recommendations here are that everyone should stay home with immediate family only for Thanksgiving. The numbers are skyrocketing thanks to trump and his many rallies.

Daylight saving time, giving me an extra hour of sleep, and allowing me to drive to work in the light. This is also the time of year I wean myself off caffeine. (Last year I did good until I got the flu. Something usually leads me to relapse.)

Dark when you get up...dark early at night. I HATE IT! I find myself sleeping more. Depressing.

Today is a clear cool fall day. Crisp. This fall season makes me so happy to be retired and have the stretch of day ahead mostly with little obligation.

The weeds are no longer nagging me because they have pretty much stopped growing. Garden tasks are minimal. Oh sure I have a box full of bulbs that need to go into the ground, and I havel iris charts that could be completed now. Or later. But not a whole lot has to be done outdoors, and garden cleanup can be completed over the next few months.

Our hOuse will now remain clean since dog shedding Season is over, and dirt tracking is minimal. I don’t mind the spider webs of fall, I like spiders. I don’t even mind servicing the armfuls of late season garden produce that come into this house.

This time of year always lets me feel free! Free free free!

Our hOuse will now remain fairly clean since dog shedding Season is over, and dirt tracking is minimal. I don’t mind the spider webs of fall, I like spiders. I don’t even mind servicing the armfuls of late season garden produce that comes into this house.

Yes, this is the great thing about 4 seasons... if you're a farmer or a gardener, you catch a break to do something different for a while.

And if you're not a gardener, you can breathe a sigh of relief that you don't have to put up with mowers, blowers, and desultory attempts at yard maintenance for a few months, at least.

Not the case here. Leaf blowers going nonstop ... the leave are falling in droves. Many are using their mowers to mulch the leaves. YLMV
