Remember the cows and Spanish Moss? Here they are!Wow, already almost too busy. Here it is Friday morning and I've already gone to Big Y. Needed to fetch a few items because we were gone for several days. Only $96. I must be getting good at this shopping stuff. Only three bags of groceries! Also found out why Puppy's Pop and I like the Rex Goliath Cabernet-Sauvignon I've been buying for $9.99 a magnum. The price when not on sale is $17.99. I knew we had good taste, just didn't realize that I accidentally bought a very good thing! That's the story of my life; sheer luck! That's OK by me. Every day brings something new and interesting.
Was invited to go to Carnival in Québec in February, for free no less, and I can't go because there are already other plans on the agenda. Would have been fun though. I told my friend who is still teaching in Killingly to try to keep her fun trips to Saturdays through Tuesdays! One of these days we'll manage a neat trip to Canada. It must be at least 15 years since she and I went to Montréal on a Columbus Day weekend.
One of the best parts of the trip home is that we found the yard in perfect order. The 15 monster logs and all other wedges and smaller stuff were no longer strewn across the lawn. It's rather incredible how deep the ruts are from the toppling of the trees, especially the one that was closest to the house. They had to topple that one after they had removed quite a bit of the top of the tree. That one really made a super hard thud and left a very deep imprint. The first tree went down more easily because it still had its top and that made it fall with less of a bang. The place looks good. I have to get in the garden next week and finish cutting back the flowers and removing the Swiss Chard that the deer have been munching on so delicately since Grampa took down the fence! Then we'll spread some fertilizer (Grampa always does the honors) before we have the garden turned for the winter and plant the winter rye. Must be off to Groton soon.
