Change of Weather

The weather is getting cooler each day.  autumn is upon us.  I like autumn very much.  It is actually my favorite season of the year.  I have to admit that lately the weather  lately has been dreary and rainy but still I love this time of the year.  No more sweltering hot days of summer.  No more sweating and having to keep out of the sun.  No more having to wear sunscreen constantly.

 

Autumn is a time for nice hot meals and the family sitting together in the evening watching television or a DVD.  Now that Christina is living with us we have even more fun.  We are getting ready to have a garage sale this weekend.  I don’t have to worry about doing too much for the sale.  Everyone is here to do his or her part.  I just have to sit there and watch over things.  Gary will collect the money and it will be used to pay some bills and to make over the garage into a bedroom.  Gary, Jr. will be going into the garage bedroom and Christina will be taking over his room.

 

With autumn here, it brings thoughts of Christmas.  I don’t know what kind of Christmas we will have as far as gifts are concerned.  But I do know that there will be a lot of love in this house.  The kids will be here to put up the tree.  Last year all we had was a small one.  I was not able to do it by myself.  This year the 3 of them will help with the Christmas decorating. Christmas will be what it should be.  Filled with love and happiness.

Lu, it sounds like Christina is bringing much happiness into your home. That is just so wonderful to see. I love autumn too. Is the picture from your yard? Reading this reminded me of the first photo I ever saw of you, you were all decked out for Christmas. Remember that?

Lu dear, I am praying for a successful garage sale and lots of sales to help with the bills!  I am an autumn fan also-- although I am still holding back the frost a bit here, lol!  I carried about 30 pots and baskets of flowers from my front porch into the garage for a couple of days to keep them from frosting!  They are all back on the front porch and still blooming.
loving you
