BEAUTIFULL NOVEMBER MONDAY

 Up to greet all the grandkids to get this new week started. Hubbie took g-son to school while the girls and I snuggled to stay warm on this upper 30's morning.  When hubbie returned I went out to get the chores done and then we all had breakfast.   I saw these magnetic colorful blocks in one of the early black Friday sales and ordered them for the girls and they have really been playing with them this morning.                     

About mid morning the sun was shinning so beautifully not to get out and enjoy it so we loaded up and went over to Berkley park to walk. The girls were all excited but CA went to sleep on the way there and slept through the whole walk in the stroller.                                                                                                                        

It was a little windy but felt good to be outside exploring.                                                                           We picked up lunch on the way home and the girls were really hungry and ate all their food and more so that was worth the walk.                                                                                                                           RL and IR got the blocks back out and played quietly letting CA continue her nap.                                  I got laundry started and did 3 loads between playing with the girls this afternoon.                                    After they all left I headed up to the chicken coops to start cleaning out houses for winter. I got the biggest older hens house cleaned out and re-bedded so they will be warmer.                                               Hubbie worked some on his wood pile and then we both got chores done and put the covers back on our winter garden.                                                                                                                                          We came inside at dark to have supper of yesterday's leftover chicken and rice and then we watched the news. The latest hurricane news is not good for central America as Iota has become a cat 5 devastating storm and will hit the same area that Eta hit a couple weeks ago. I pray for the people in this storm's path.                                                             

I noticed about 8:00 tonight that the house started feeling really cool . We always turn our heat pump off on these warmer 60's sunny days but it usually doesn't need to be turned on until bedtime. When I looked at the outside thermometer it said it is already 37 degrees outside on a night that is predicted to only get to 32 degrees ???    I am glad we covered our gardens because unless it clouds up which isn't predicted it will get much colder than 32 I predict !!!   Oh well it is time for some colder weather to hang around.                                                                                                                                                  Thankful for all the blessings of this day and thankful for our health right now especially.                         God Bless and Good Night
