Wednesday Witterings . . .

 

Hello all!  I'm back and I thought it would be fun to show you all that it doesn't necessarily rain every garbage day. Yesterday it was bright and sunny out. There wasn't a cloud in the sky which made for a nice change! It was a lot cooler yesterday however.  I did go out after Jenni left and I had to put on my sweater. I am not complaining about that however as I do enjoy the fact that it is not quite so hot and humid.  That makes it much more comfortable for sleeping at night as well.

Not that I am wishing my life away but I am really looking forward to the beginning of Autumn in just a few short weeks now. I'm looking forward to the cooler days and nights especially. I am not a huge fan of heat and humidity. 

Already the days are becoming much more pleasant. I am sure that we will still have the odd hot and sticky day, but autumn is my favorite season and that is mainly because of the weather.  It always feels so nice after the summer humidity dissipates!

When I was in the U.K. we did get maybe four or five days of high humidity in the summer, but that was it. Most of the time the weather was quite temperature and tolerable. Yes, it did rain a lot, but not so often that I minded it overly much. The rain was a part of what made it such a green and beautiful land.

I say bring on the Pumpkin Spice. I am ready for it! haha  Actually I bought my first pumpkin spice flavor in the grocery store the other day.  Pumpkin Spice Whipped Topping. In the aerosol can. I think it is coconut cream, but it will do!

I am actually really looking forward to seeing the apples come in. I hope that we can get some of the same apples that we got last year. 

 

Sweet Tart on the Left, Japanese Melon on the right.

Those Sweet Tart apples made the best applesauce.  I am looking forward to getting a few baskets this year to turn into applesauce. It was just so good.  Such a pretty apple also.

I watched the cutest movie on Netflix at the weekend. How to Lose a Man in 10 Days. It starred Kate Hudson and Matthew McConoughhey. (I think I spelled that right.)  It was just cute.  A comedy and a bit of a love story.  Quite predictable, but an easy watch.  Oh boy but he is just so easy on the eyes.

Last night I came across a show called Naked Dating.  Why?  Whatever will they come up with next. Full frontal nudity.  I am not a prude, but . . . . I do like dating shows, but that is one I won't be watching. I watched five minutes just to see and blah.

So not necessary.

 

My son Anthony with Luke (on the left) and Gabe (on the right.)  Their first day of school for this year and University for Gabe.   (This was yesterday.) I really hope that they have a great year, the pair of them.  Luke is getting so tall and looking so grown up now.  I think they are planning on trying to make it over for Thanksgiving. That will be nice.

No other school pictures yet, but I am sure they will be forthcoming.  I am eager to hear how Jon enjoyed his first day at college. He started yesterday.  The other two J's start school today. 

I hope and pray that all of my grandchildren have successful years at school this year. That they grow in learning and confidence and that they  are happy.  

Doug and Jon spent part of the last weekend of summer repairing a guitar together.  I think they were putting in new tuners. Doug explained it to me, but I can't remember exactly what they were doing.

My J boys spent the last day of their summer holidays at an amusement park on the Island. It is a summer's end tradition for them.  They do it every year, and always have a really fun day.

I believe all the children here in Nova Scotia will be back at school today.  I wish for them all a really great year.

I hope she doesn't mind me sharing these art pages with you.  My sister's art journal.  She is just so darned talented.  Two cups, some avocado, a donut and a cute candy tin.

Last time I was at her house she had sketched some cherry tomatoes in the same art journal and was waiting to paint them in. No doubt they will be gorgeous as well.

I had my toenail appointment yesterday. She was actually a bit early arriving, which I didn't mind.  I liked getting it over with more sooner than later as it left me with more of my day to get things done. She is the same lady who used to do my mother's toenails.  She is a real talker.  I enjoy her visits. I get to learn all the scoop of what's going on in our area anyways, or at least what she has heard about it and since she does get around it is pretty accurate.  Yesterday she told  me that the people responsible for the latest hoodlism activity  in town were actually not teenagers, but two adults in their 40's. A male and a female.  They went through town a week or two back and upended all of the flower baskets, dumping them out and destroying them and then went to the car dealership and slashed all the tires.

One has to wonder what motivates people to do things like that.  Especially full grown adults who certainly should know the difference between right and wrong. It boggles the mind.

I don't really have a lot else to talk about this morning. I had a very poor night's sleep last night and that is making me feel quite tired. I just could not tick over to fall asleep. I think it was well after 1 a.m. before I did fall asleep and then I was awake at 6.  Also very dreamy sleep.  I will be having a nap later today because I am sure I will need one!  Tonight is the night I go to supper with dad and Hazel.  I am not sure what I will have. I was thinking I might have a grilled cheese or a cheeseburger with a salad.  Of course that idea could change fifty times between now and then!  Heck, it can change ten times when I am at the table in the restaurant!  That's me! I have a hard time making decisions.

Oh, and I am looking for ideas to use to make videos on my YT channel. I want them to be interesting but also within the scope and realm of my abilities to video them.  I was thinking I might make some Eccles Cakes next time.  What think you?

And now a thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Tuna Rice Muffins with a Butter Lemon Sauce. Simple and delicious.  I had these for my dinner yesterday.  Quick and easy to make also!

I hope you all have a beautiful day today. I will endeavor to get to all of my comments at some point.  I will be playing catch up.  Whatever you get up to today, be happy, stay safe and don't forget!
