A little bit at a time

It is October and I will be needing to bring plants in soon. I waited around all day thinking the mower guy would come, but he did not. To get some outside time I went and took my amaryllis out of a big planter and put them in individual pots, hoping to force them to bloom more this year. I am putting all of my geraniums, all five different kind, into that planter. Is it any wonder I have dirty fingernails. For lunch I had pork tenderloin roast with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. I also had a huge helping of bread pudding, made from banana bread of all things. Mondays I talk with my son on the phone. Tuesdays I talk with my daughter on the phone. Tomorrow I am meeting Beth for lunch before my eye appointment in McPherson. This morning I had my labs for my Friday doctor's appointment. Just moving right along. It is not dark, but the doors are closed and locked. I have started giving the boys a small can of wet cat food in the evening. Kind of to tell them the day is over. I am trying to rearrange furniture, clean out closets and drawers. Always, always, pay bills, buy gasoline for the car. So all those things are what is on my mind. I have read and responded to quite a few discussions.

Outside time is good for the soul. You have many plant kids to care for.

Your dinner sounds delicious. And I miss hearing about Bruno and Pedro. I’m sure they are busy giving you love and cuddles and an occasional bored look. I’m glad you’re going to have lunch with Beth. That will be enjoyable.

Sounds like a routine. Good luck with the doctor stuff.

Sounds like you've been pretty doggone busy lately. But I don't think it'll be October for another couple days
