Good Morning! You know, the older I get, the more I realize, there’s no point in rushing, as the day’ll move along just fine without me.

It’s a cloudy morning here, and we’re getting some pretty strong gusts of wind off and on, which are knocking down quite a few of our fall leaves. It seems like it happens this way every year. On top of that, we’re in for some rain this morning and throughout the day. But despite all that, we might see a little bit of sunshine later in the day.

Yesterday, I worked the morning away at my computer, but in the afternoon, I managed to get a lot of outdoor work done. There’s still plenty to do, though—the vegetable garden needs tilling, and the grass is growing like crazy. We also have to close up the cottage for the year and winterize it, and I suppose it’s time to start thinking about putting the snow tires on the car. It feels early, but around here, the weather can change pretty fast.

On the bright side, we’ve got our firewood in for winter, and my little woman has been steadily putting away food from the garden. That’ll sure come in handy when the snow’s blowing, and it’ll save us quite a bit of money, too, considering how much groceries cost these days. I swear, every time we leave the store, my wallet’s a lot lighter.

As for today, well, it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. I do have some projects calling my name in the woodworking shop, so I might wander out there after a bit. But first, I’m going to enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife is cooking up for me, there is nothing like a little homemade goodness to kick off the day! After that, we’ll just see where the winds of fate take me. Around here, plans can shift faster than a breeze rustling through the leaves! Especially this time of year.

You all have a great day and remember to keep it simple and enjoy life! GW
