Welcome to a cold Fall day, yes Monday is back again.  I hope it will be a good week for all of us!  

This picture of the moon was taken a month ago.  How does time keep getting faster and faster?  

That framework was built over 20 years ago.  The lattis does need replacing but it is still hanging in there.  The plastic is now 6 mil and almost too heavy for us but it sure does keep the warmth inside.  

All the big plants were moved to the front a couple of days ago.  Now they are all snug in the garage and in a day or two will be able to go back outside in the sun.  

I might have a few Airplane plants if anyone wants to come pick some up.  I also have about 6 other big Airplane plants scattered around and to give away.  

My favorite yellow roses are blooming.  I am so glad that they don't mind cold weather.  I have these two bushes and 2 more big yellow roses bushes out near the fence.  I hope you enjoy seeing what we have been doing around the yard this week.  

Hello, friend  I'm signing off for today. I'll try not to have insomnia; it's so annoying! I'll switch off my brain, put my phone on airplane mode, and dream, without extra pay for luggage. Remember: sleep is free, and staying awake thinking nonsense is very expensive. Good night, don't dream about the witch, Maria, dream of angels.

Hello,  Sunday has arrived. Start with 

 optimism and a big smile on your beautiful 

face, and don't worry, the days come and go. 

Just wait 7 days, and it  will be Sunday again. 

 The  best days are yet to come. Tomorrow 

will be even better. Accept what is, let go of what

  was, have faith in what will be. The wings 

 already exist, you just have to fly as high

 as you can, look at the stars, and make 

 the wish you want so much,  and tomorrow 

it will come true.  I send you big hugs, peace, 

and blessings, Maria....

Isn't it a gorgeous Saturday?  Are you a morning person?  

It's Saturday!!!  Did you stay up late last night?  Are you a night person?

Mom, can you be a morning person and a night person?  I am!  I just don't need more than 7 hours of sleep and can function easily on only 6 hours of sleep.  

Some people are just different.  I do play catch up on sleep every once in a while but that is usually when I have only had 5 hours or less.  

Lovely patchwork colors are always a good choice to view the world.  

But every now and then Black & White can be a wonderful choice.  

But on Sunday when our high is only mid 50's and our low will be near freezing,  it will not be a good day for this girl.  However, I will still have a smile on my face and be wishing you...  

“The art of living

is simply the art of giving:

a smile, a helping hand,

a spark of our light,

that transcends words.”

Friday is finally here!  I hope you have something wonderful planned for this weekend with friends.  

Fall is a special time of year when the weather can be spring-like, summer-like, or winter-like.  

But as long as you have friends around, you can enjoy the time together no matter what the weather is.  

Surround yourself with those who care about your heart and things that matter to you.

Remember good friends are not just there in the good times but they are there for you forever, even when you say something they disagree with or do something by mistake.  Forgive so you will be forgiven and continue to love each other.
