I Do Windows.....

My impatiens and geraniums are really happy today!! I took a picture for posterity and for sharing.... :) Temperatures are predicted to plummet later this week and I imagine these blooms will look quite a bit different after that!

You can see my blue deck spindles and my little red bench is just peeking out from under the pot. The bench is full of pots of annuals and I really should have experimented more with my digital camera while everything was in full splendour....oh well, something for next year!

Hope you are all having a great day today. I had much fun while cleaning at Pastor Koole's this afternoon. We cleaned all the sunny windows and BY all the windows and the shelves there as he is getting ready to bring all his plants indoors for the winter. We've been working on that for a while but this week push comes to shove. Git 'er done. And so we did! We had yummy koek with our coffee this afternoon with real butter. It was delish. I always get two pieces because I get spoiled there, but then you already knew that! We had lots of laughs which is regular too. And all things are sparkly clean and shiny! Always a nice way to leave things. I finished washing all the doekies already too so things are tidies and put away.

I had some extra things to do at church this morning which made the whole day kind of late but I had the car so I could just zoom onto the next job, and I didn't have to juggle all my pails like I do when I ride my bike. It is such a treat to have the car today. Good thing I had work to do or I might have had to go to a store or something. But...now I can take tomorrow off. The kids have the next couple of days off school for the teacher's convention at Redeemer. Joe is going to a friend's house and Craig's friend is already here. I really ought to go and cook some supper. Ray is busy with the books, and I will figure out what to do when everyone else is busy. No sense planning a papercrafting day when you are needed to play boardgames, making pizza from scratch, or plan an art project. It's just easier to slip away when everyone is occupied and it feels nicer than having my plans cancelled. Some people call it being flexible....

I was just thinking the other day about the little things we look forward to and how we sometimes forget to enjoy them when they occur. In the spring I always look forward to doing summer laundry because there seems to be less of it. 5 summer outfits, of shorts and tshirts...don't take up as much space in the machine as 5 fall and winter outfits, of jeans, tshirts AND sweatshirts.... So summer came and went and I forgot to appreciate that the laundry piles were smaller. Now we are right back into cooler weather, only very recently, and I already miss it...eventhough I forgot to appreciate it. Little things that come to mind eh!

I must go and reheat leftovers and bake a pizza. Yummo! Easy...just man the oven....

Have a great day, and love ya!!!
