Fall is here and it is great. I love the nice temps and the colors of the leaves as they change. There is all the little squirrels and chipmunks in the neighborhood running around doing their last minute gathering before winter comes. It is so much fun to take it all in as I walk in the morning or evening now.
In fact, it is starting to get a bit to nippy to walk in my shorts and t-shirt in the morning now. I may have to break out my warmer clothing or change my walking time already. Speaking of which, the walking is really coming along. I have not tried a longer distance yet, but ave been picking up the pace substantially. In fact, the last time I almost fell on my face, so need to slow it down some.
Speaking of falling down, I was in the garage a couple days ago and for some reason made a sharp move and my right leg gave out on me. It caused me to fall backwards. Luckily nothing was hurt but my pride and a small bruise on my butt. NOt sure what happened, I guess my leg just didn't like the way I twisted or something.
Anyway, with Autumn here, the wife put out our usual decorations. Of which you can see one in the picture above. It is a painting she did a few years back of a scarecrow. I helped her of course, but also stayed out of her way at the same time. It was a fine balancing act for sure :-).
We were going to work on the yard this week, sowing new grass seed fillling in bare spots and holes in the yard with fill dirt. However, her Uncle passed away and she will be leaving town for a few days for the funeral. I would like to do some of that work myself while she is away, but she insists I should not without anyone here to watch over me. I may do a little anyway as I know it will get boring around here doing shit for nothing.
Now that I am feeling better it seems there is much more joy in things like the changing of the seasons and all the color it brings. I even find myself sitting on the back patio with the wife more than usual in the morning and for longer periods. We enjoy taking in the dogs playing, throwing the ball for them, listening to the birds, watching the squirells occasionally and looking at what is left of the flowers.
Life is good!
Hope you had a good start to your week.
Thanks for reading,
Joe
