Morning everyone, everyone rested and chipper? Sunday, day of rest, day of reflection and giving thanks for the blessing we have. Me, I'm so grateful for those that love me, I'm a rich man. The rest is in the good Lord's hands, I put myself in his hand and trust in his plans.
Been hiding out the last week, trying to mend back to "normal for me". Made a trip into town yesterday taking the rural roads slow and seeing the country side. Wow things have changed in just a week, folks are gathering harvests at the farms and cars packing the road side stands, won't be long and the cider mill will reopen, fresh cold cider, hot donuts and pie, yum! Walmart was loaded with people shopping for school supplies, saw they were selling hunting lic so I picked up mine, maybe THIS will be the year I get back into the woods, hope so. Dropped by the farm supply to pick up bird seed, folks were stocking up on canning and freezing supplies for the annual harvest which comes a little early in NY. Ladies holding up summer closeout clothes to the kids,
"These gonna fit you next year?" We all have to save where we can, I'm a sucker for a bargain too, picked up some nice t-shirts for $3 each! Farmers were buying parts for their equipment, this is the time of year they get a workout and stuff breaks, a scramble to get them fixed and back in the fields. Forgot to get my copy of Farmers Almanac, next trip.
So summer's going to wind down already, I'll have to suck it up, push through knocking stuff off the "get ready for winter" list... Love the break from the heat but I don't like what follows. Summer slips by so fast and winter seems to drag on forever... But not today, not today.
