Sitting here listening to the washer spinning the last load of clothes. I have chili on the stove simmering away and am getting ready to make a nice skillet of cornbread. My son is out in the driveway putting new brakes on the front of my car. Some pups are sleeping, some are on guard in the front yard, and mostly it's a gorgeous fall day, breezy and clear. Only about 67 degrees out there.

This seems apropo. My son is in a snit because of his wife and I am trying to mind my own business. You can imagine how well that is going. Amazing how I still want to go to bat for him and make his boo-boo go away and kiss and make it better. I guess your babies never get to big for mommy to worry about, no matter what. Sigh....

On a brighter note, Judy over at My Freezer Is Full (who is my gardening guru) gave me a lovely award that I am supposed to pass on to bloggers who have 200 or less followers (I think) I'll need to check, as most everyone except me seems to have about a gazillion followers. LOL I'm supposed to pick 3 and set them down here and send you their way. (I think).
(You'll have to excuse me-I read it last night when I should have been in bed and now I am a little fuzzy on the details.) I'll have to do it all right in a little bit.
Ok. Here we go:
First let m,e say that I kept looking at blogs last night and couldn't find the followers on a bunch of them. Or it would say FOLLOWERS but no names would appear. lol
The blogs I want to give this award to are ones I really enjoy reading....starting with Linda at BlueSkiesSunnyDays. I love reading her, because I learn something new every single time. Plus, she and I are both back living in our native lands after years of wandering. lol Check her out!
Then there's Erin, at Garden Now-Think Later, who never fails to amuse me with her tales of gardening and family and great photos. She's a gardening Guru and supermom ! Go there--you won't be sorry!
I visit TeresaEvangeline daily to read her thought provoking posts and am never disappointed. She's a soul sister...something about her writing and her life speak to me at a deep level. She has a beautiful blog--go look!

Alright. It only took me three days to write this. lol Some things are best not attempted when one is too tired.
I'm off to bed now. Had a good day...lunch with my boy in town, a walk in the park with Roxie, and a nice supper with the Irishman. Also had a brief visit with my brothers wife, who was up this way and made time to come see me.
How blessed am I ???
Up, up, and Away..............
