Things were looking pretty drab around here with the leaves going brown and falling off the trees with no pleasant colour shifts. But that all changed once we had our first frost, and then a warm and sunny day combination event, so now we have colours y’all! Vibrant yellows, oranges, reds, and greens, brown, purples and such. Beautiful again.
It’s Monday, and a PA Day, so I have the kids at home for the next roughly eight hours by myself! Yeah! Should I have them scrub toilets, wash the bathtub, sweep, vacuum & mop the floors, do a load of their own laundry, sort a bag of socks, clean their rooms (again). Pull weeds out of the front garden as none of the gardening has gotten done recently with all of the activity we’ve seen in the last three weeks or more. Cleaning out the front yard beds would be good for us. A little sun shine. Some helping hands. A bonding experience that also helps out the household. I could start on some leaves too. Tie the dog up out front with us, and everybody’s happy(ish), right?.
Spent six hours at Wonderland yesterday, when we only meant to do about three. Oops. I tried out two rides that I would have previously skipped due to heavy focus on simply rotating around a central column. Something which typically triggers my motion sickness. But I have gotten away with a few spinning rides as of late, and came away no worse for wear. I dare not try some of the three axis spon rides I did in my youth as motion sickness tends to stick around for six or more hours now that I’m in my forties. I can do without that.
I think we will pick some pumpkins later today at the farm, and keep it all low key. Perhaps some homework, reading and writing too? Who knows. All I know is that our street is multicoloured again, and the sky is blue, the sun is out, and the crispy fallen leaves need to get mulched up for the season! Ciao Bella.
