Two Days of Fall

parents

We’re enjoying two days of fall here in Greenwood, Arkansas – today and tomorrow – before going back to ‘summer’ and a/c for another week or so at least.  High of 68 today and 74 tomorrow. I feel just like this cute little girl!

The cooler temperatures make me feel a lot more energetic and simply happy with the world. I love opening our front and back doors, getting a delicious cross-breeze and turning on the ceiling fans. As I type Molly (a cocker spaniel/schnauzer cross, is asleep under the counter at my feet. One of our cats, Smoke, is asleep on my daytimer on the table to my right. Our pit bull, Bambi, is snoring on the big dog bed on the other side of my desk, and our 2nd cat, Abby, is happily enjoying sleeping in my husband’s lap as he works at his computer across the room from me. The only pet that isn’t with us right now is our new fish, Sally, who hides in her neon house in her goblet fish bowl, only coming out enthusiastically when I feed her.

I’m enjoying refurbishing a shovel bird we gave the Taylors a few years ago. I got the second coat on it last night and will tackle the feathers today. I’ll spray him with several coats of polyurethane for protection, and then glue on new googly eyes, finishing the project.

Today I plan to tackle exercising with the big exercise ball.  I DID do 30 minutes on the elliptical for the first time since we got home from our wonderful trip to Thibodaux.) I meant to try exercises on the ball yesterday, but ran out of time and energy after spending the whole afternoon going from place to place in Fort Smith, trying to find sugar-free goodies for my husband. Happily, we found a gold mine of a store where we found pies and cookies!  I’m having trouble finding a white sugar free cake mix that doesn’t have pudding in the mix. None of the stores had it, and I got on the net when we got home, to no avail. :0(

Today, with a lower temperature, seems ripe with opportunities.  I’ll figure out some trouble to get into….
