It's October 31st!

Hope you and your family have a wonderful day and safe, fun, evening!

 

Another Hibiscus

Another day!

A new positive case at school.

I am sure I did not run into the person. Hopefully no other cases.

I am constantly wiping everything down in the kitchen.

I am very careful. The kitchen and serving students safely is my top priority. 

Still Blooming

Update 10/18/20 Rona test negative! yippeee

It has been a long week.

Started feeling sick on Wednesday. Everyone sick in the family.

Rona tests were taken. Still waiting on results.

I feel good for a while then feel sick.

Mainly weak and tired with normal asthma related breathing problems.

Which come and go.

That is not typical of a regular illness for me.

So....

I don't think I have it, but not sure yet.

Just is a weird sickness to me. Different then pasts illnesses.

No fever or a low grade. 99.5 degrees was highest so far.

Weird runny nose that came and went.

Very strange. One minute nose was running...the next it wasn't.

Didn't even take anything for it.

Almost like an allergy. Which I thought it was for the most part.

Slight sore throat. Like very slight. Not bad enough to take medicine for.

Achy feeling.

Like I lifted a bunch of heavy boxes or wheelbarrowed a load of gravel around the yard.

Not bad really.

Took a couple Advil a couple of times.

I have been much worse in my lifetime.

So hopefully if it is Rona then this is as bad as it will get.

Fingers crossed!

Anyhow, took a walk around the yard and watered the potted plants.

Had to snap pictures with my phone. 

Here is what is still blooming today.

Hopefully better soon because I want to get outside and do some work!

I have enjoyed these little fish planters all summer.

I can see them outside on the patio through the sliding glass doors.

Hope your week is going well.

Finally A Blue Sky Day!

 After weeks of no blue sky and just smoke, we finally saw the sky yesterday!

The Princess came over and we picked all the pumpkins for our Halloween display!

This one was cute with a face already on it.

We picked 32 pumpkins out of the garden and there are still another 10 or so that are not ready yet.

It was a great year for growing pumpkins!

If everything works out next week, I will have some Halloween pictures to share.

Fingers crossed no one gets sick! It is that time of the year!

Have a wonderful week!

Mirror Ball Planter

 What to do when you are stuck inside because of smoke?

Well I had seen some pretty mirror ball planters on Etsy and thought I would try making one.

I had everything except the bowl to make it on. My husband got me a cheap light cover and that was the perfect size for this project.

I wasn't sure if I liked it till I hung it up. Now I really do like it at least for now.

The sun hits it in the afternoon and really sparkles.

Something shiny and pretty.

The forecast calling for rain this weekend.

I am praying for that!

I have so much work outside to do and I really want to be outside!

Soon all the leaves will be falling and that will take a while to clean up.

Soon things will get better!

I hope you are enjoying your week!

Another Week, Another Fire

 It is once again, smoky and unbreathable outside.

There is a fire across the other side of town from us. It is more then 50 thousand acres. Several people lost their lives and who knows how many animals.

Here is one that was rescued.

Not by me of course, it was turned it into California Fish and Game.

Looks like it needs a baba instead of a pastrami sandwich, but that is just my opinion.

It is a mountain lion cub.

I feel like this year will never end. It feels like we are all in a time trap.

So to add to that wild and craziness this month we will have two full moons. Tonight and the 31st.

If you are a tad bit superstitious then you will be thinking the same way I am.

The 31st is Halloween.

What could go wrong?

Someone won't get their candy?

We will have to wait and see I guess right?

I haven't been working outside because of the smoke, smoke, smoke and more smoke.

Last Saturday was a beautiful day though and I was able to get the hedge trimmed. It looks beautiful.

You will have to take my word for it since I didn't take a picture.😁

It was the first day outside in a month. I go to work come home and stay inside.

I have asthma so the outside is not do able for me when it is smoky.

At school they are constantly checking the air quality. Most of the time it is inside recess for the kids.

I feel like the kids have been really had a rotten year with the Rona and then going back to school and having inside recess so much because of all the fires in California.

This new fire I hear was started by a person, on purpose.

I hope the person burns in hell.

I am so sick of people starting fires.

They really need to catch the person and light them up.

Yup that sounds mean.

That is what the person deserves.

An eye for an eye.

Well that is all to report today.

I hope the last two days of this work week go smoothly.

What more can go wrong?

 Happy October!
