Waiting To Hydrate
Mon Oct 12 2009


I was going through some of my.... ahem..... 945! pictures on Hamipiks and ran across this one...



[album 65561 Home Sick.JPG]



It's of Robbie and my youngest son long ago on a food co-op day. They used to deliver the food from my buying club to our house. Youngest had a fever and was tucked up on the couch watching soap operas or something. Surrounded by food. It was a very chaotic day, co-op day.... but a lot of fun too. Robbie was sharing a bowl of honey corn puff cereal with the invalid. They had an understanding.

I'm in a full on clear the decks mode around here lately. Corners looked into, cupboards riffled and cleared of extra stuff we don't use, my closet got a going through. Though I'm afraid it has just about gotten down to the bare minimum in there. No. Wait!  I forgot, there is a chest of drawers with sheets, tablecloths, and other miscellaneous things that I could sort out and thin. [It never REALLY ends, does it?]



We are supposed to get rain. Real rain. Within a few hours. I'm waiting impatiently. The back yard has all been squared away for now. Sukkah taken down, leaves and branches cleared away and the summer cushions washed and brought inside. It feels good to be ready.



Now all we need is for the water to come down from the sky.



I made pumpkin muffins for Hub Man's lunches this week. Our house smells like sugar and spice and everything nice right now.



It is well and truly fall.

    Pumpkin muffins. Yum! Savory or sweet?

    I'm waiting for Summer down my end of the globe, am in the midst of packing away the coats, gloves and scarves. Aaahhh, roll on long, warm days :)

    And I'm going back where there truly is a colorful fall. I expect to take mucho pictures with my new camera.

    And while I'm there, I'll be treated quite nicely, but when I come home the creatures who share my board and room will look at me and "Huh, so you're back," and go on with whatever they were doing before I came home. If ever anybody got snubbed it was by someone who shares a home with CATS!

    I almost dropped by today on my way back home from Folsom. Sure wish I hadn't missed those delicious smells!!!


    Bless

    I noticed the change of seasons about a week ago when I couldn't get my hands warm no matter how deeply I sucked them into my sweater sleeves. :-S

    We are sharing similar days lately. I have been weeding through possessions with a vengenance and taking trunk loads of donations to various places, placing the really sad looking stuff in the garbage and placing furniture at the road, where it has been picked up within hours by someone. I feel 100 lbs lighter!

    I also made a double batch of pumpkin muffins since I was on coffee duty at church. 48 mini-muffins and a loaf, all snarfed up in minutes. Guess they were good. Found a recipe that had yoghurt, apple sauce and lots of pumpkin puree and raisins.

    Hope you got the rain you need. We have lots, could send you some....

    It's 8p.m. and I'm still waiting for the water to fall from the sky.
    None to patiently, I might add.
    Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap......

    How did you figure out how many pictures you had stored on HamiPiks? I started to count mine, but kept losing track of them.

    I'm guessing it takes forever for your thumbprints to load!
