Sandy-you were not so bad!

This AM-no power outages-yea for Loyalist Township
We have no big trees on our property
But
We have tons of maple leaves around our fence and covering our patio
Glad I bought large brown leaf bags last week
Neighbour's kiddies swing set blew over
Neighbour's grapevine arbour blew over
Otherwise, can see no damage in our surrounding area
Bad, Bad in NY area - according to news
Sun is shining this AM
Very balmy weather outside
Thank you, Jesus, for your protection
Please help all the people who have lost loved ones and are still in danger
Please help areas cope with their major problems today

Autumn-tomorrow-yikes

Autumn will arrive tonight while I sleep....she will creep into the calendar and out into my garden.....but......I beat her a little today.....I dug up all my carrots......and swiss chard.....I brought in my two geranium trees and a couple of other greenhouse plants that have survived the heat of this summer.....we had some of the carrots for our supper and they are just the most delicious tasting vegetables ever.....people who add ingredients other than a bit of margarine or butter do not have true taste buds....I know what a lovely carrot tastes like, pureness!

Is this early indian summer?

Gorgeous weather during past 2 days.
Unbelievable.
Actually, did some gardening during these days.
Garden looking cleaner.
Picked pink mums that are just starting to bloom.  Planted them in Spring from Church Easter mums.
Hoed front flower bed.
Summer was hot and horrible.  Much prefer this kind of weather.
Went biking today.
Storm supposed to come thru this weekend.
Getting ready for bazaar at church so it will be ok if it rains...can do crafts and bake!!
Veggie garden was wonderful this summer....so many delicious and organic vegs. for us
I miss my fresh picked veggies.
Picked parsley yesterday from herb garden....put to dry.
Sorry, I haven't blogged in a long time.....
Everyone is too busy these days.
Read in paper today, people are working at least 50 hours a week at their jobs and getting paid for 40 hours.
 Work never leaves them due to emails, etc.
 SAD!
Employers are reaping tons of benefits from these people. 
No wonder employees get sick and stressed to the max.  Not a good situation.
