Dull overcast day.....

It was foggy and misty all day on Wednesday.
Made it look like early evening even in the morning.
This tree has a lot of leaves still on it.
This one has dropped nearly all of it's leaves.  Here's hoping for a windy day to blow away all those leaves, as I don't feel like raking them up!!!
One thing though at least we don't have any snow.......yet! (I'm touching wood as I wrote that!)

Two videos to watch today.....

I first saw this on John's blog, it is just so funny. Make sure you have the sound on especially at the 45 second mark. I would love an English Bulldog as a friend for Molly.







Who doesn't love Boney M's song.....it's a classic




In answer to Fee's question yesterday, as I write this on Wednesday night, we don't have snow on the ground.  So you will have more snow than us in Somerset.  I will be quite peed off on Thursday morning, if I get up and we have a foot of snow mind you!!!

I am working on Thursday and Friday of this week.  A bit of a last minute thing, but it has come at a good time, as I got a letter in the mail and we can order trees cheaply through our township, so I will now have some money to get some.  We have the pick of :

Sugar Maple (3ft to 5 ft Potted) $22.50 each
White Birch (4ft to 5ft potted) $13.00 each
Hemlock (3ft to 4ft potted) $14.75 each
Red Oak (3ft to 4ft potted) $15.00 each

Now I do realize that I will be dead and buried by the time any of them grow to great heights, but thought I would like to do my bit for the planet earth.

We can also order bundles of trees, babies to 2 years of age, including conifers and hedging.  They come in bundles of ten and you have to order a minimum of ten bundles and they range in price from $9.30 for Eastern Red Cedars, up to $16.60 for Sugar or Red Maples.  There are also both White and Red pines, White and Norway Spruce.  Balsam Fir, Eastern Hemlock, White and Eastern Red Cedar, Red Oak, Black Walnut, Red Osier Dogwood and Witchhazel.

I will have around $200 to spend I think, and there is a $10 shipping and handling fee as well.  What would you buy?

The third cookie recipe was " Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Macaroons".  Well as I am not a huge fan of coconut, I am giving this one a pass as well.......lets hope there is something a bit better tomorrow!!

Spoke too soon........

 Not feeling well at all.  It is a sinus/head cold thing I have going on. (((SIGH)))  Will be back later on in the week, hopefully!  😰😩😩
