Winter is on the way. That's what it says on the news. Heavy rains are expected in a couple days, so it was time to winterize the trailer. Everything from pulling in the sliders, to wrapping the lawn swing, to putting out rat and ant poison. Nothing like coming back in the Spring, or a quick trip during the winter to find you've had uninvited guests. Let's just call it an ounce of prevention. I made my usual stop at the Red Apple Farm for a treat - a fresh peach and a chocolate chip cookie. Normally I'd buy a pie, but I wasn't meeting anyone to share it with on this trip.
Changed the bedding and couch and chair covers to the winter look too. Looks cosy and warm. In fact the day was perfect while I was there. Warm and bright. As sunny and clear as possible. Perfectly delightful. I gave away the TV and VCR/DVD players today. I never use them. I'd rather use the space they take up for books and art supplies. I'm tickled pink with the new space - and getting rid of something that was totally wasted on me. I have my radio and books there - and now am able to get the public radio stations really well.
Since I didn't take the dogs today - I took the winding roads that make Nikki car sick. I had not driven them for awhile and it was interesting to see the changes - new houses, new roads, etc.
Tomorrow is the day to winterize the house, the deck and the patio. These things HAVE to be done before the first rain. As much as I dread the grey winter, curling up with a book on a rainy evening is something very special. I guess I can adjust my attitude again!!! I have to remind myself of the good things about winter, cause goodness knows I hate being cold - and I hate not seeing the sun every day. Think sunshine. Think warm. Gotta keep working on it.
