Uh...no. Possibly even "Hell no".
And overnight this week the temperatures dropped into the thirties...and huge fluffy flakes drifted down. All over my beautiful Fall leaves.
Not to worry. The weatherman promises a warm up again by next week returning us to our regularly scheduled Fall. Mother Nature's way of saying,
"You better get all the buttoning down soon...because I'm not playing!"
Gotcha.
Busy week. All the bulbs but the tulips snuggled in. Roses pruned and a bouquet of my Pink Fairy Roses brought in for the table, before they froze.
Got another sneak peak at my newest grand-bump with a second ultrasound a few days ago. Past the bull-frog stage (...hey...Nicole's words...okay) and looking a lot more like a tiny baby...arms and legs and fingers and toes and features! It will still be a while before we can say with any accuracy what it is...but no visible outdoor plumbing yet.
Chris and The Leprechaun.
Had a wonderful evening/dinner together (all of us) before the kids left today. I will miss them. Fixed James' favourite...chicken and noodles with dressing...and "Razzleberry pie". James, I can't tell you how much Pam appreciated all the help with the apartment and the house...and everything else. I think she misses both of you already, too. The next time I see the "grand-bump" he or she may be snuggled in my arms in its home-made quilt :)
Can't wait!
I'm heading to Florida in late Spring.
Both boys pretty sure they have found "the one" now :)
And I am happy for them. Pretty wonderful future daughter-in-laws.
Lennon says his "one" will have to wait until he graduates...lol. No time for anything but classwork right now. After Nursing School, I completely understand.
Chris is coming along with the violin. Enjoying listening as he gets smoother and smoother with it.
Doing a re-read this week of "A Time To Kill" by John Grisham while waiting not-so-patiently for the sequel released on October 22nd "Sycamore Row". The former being particularly amazing when you realize that it was Grisham's first-ever book and that initially it was self-published and sold out of the trunk of his car. True Story. This week has been a great week for Grisham, with a play based on a Time to Kill opening on Broadway at the same time his sequel was released. If you have never read the first prepare to be astounded, and the sequel getting outstanding reviews already.
Also after reading King's Dr. Sleep...had an overwhelming urge to re-read The Shining...so it is "on-the-stack" as well.
Enjoying a cup of hot cocoa in the afternoon chill, and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
