Beautiful Day To Welcome October

October 1.  Wow, this year has certainly gone by fast.  It is another beautiful day out there.  It's only in the sixties right now, I think.  The sun is shining and it just really smells like Fall.  I love days like this.

I'm still trying to do the tasks that I had assigned myself to do this weekend.  I'm still wading through "stuff" to get rid of.  I've bagged up another bag of clothes for Goodwill.  I have Andrew detailing the inside of my car.  He owes me some money, so I said if he did a good enough job I'd credit it to his account!  Ha!  I have some special chores for Eler Beth to do today, too, but she's been in such a bad mood this morning, that I'm waiting for Thomas to get home to tell her to do them.  I don't feel like arguing with her, so I'm taking the easy way out and waiting for Dad to get home.  Cowardly of me, I know.  I just don't have time to fool with it.  She's 9-1/2, but I think her hormones are going wild all ready.  She's not a big girl, she's actually average height for her age, but she is all muscle and she is "built", if you know what I mean.  She has curves all ready!!  Two of my nieces who were built like that at that age went through puberty early, and it would definitely explain the mood swings she's been having.  She's still my sweetheart, though.  (Just my sweetheart in a bad mood!)

She found a Rose of Sharon growing beside our house today that we didn't plant.  I swear I have no idea why I hadn't noticed it!  When she came in to tell me what it was, I figured it was just a weed that's leaves resembled a Rose of Sharon, but, by-dogies (as my Mom would say), it is a Rose of Sharon, and it even has a bloom on it.  She's good about noticing things like that.

Well, I'd better get back to work.  Break time's over for now.

Wish I had someone to barter with to detail my truck. My granddaughter will turn 15 this month and thinks her curves make her look fat. These kids. Paula
