Yesterday was a better day. Whew. Late in the afternoon we bagged up another 12 bags of leaves...I'm keeping count this year, just out of curiosity (17 so far). Bill said he thinks I was exaggerating when I said 100+ bags last year. I do exaggerate sometimes but I'm fairly certain I'll be right this time :-) And of course he was grumbling about all the leaves! Me? Nope. I was saying things like, "I LOVE Autumn!" and, " I love the smell of the leaves and I love this chore! It's a classic Midwestern thing to do." and "I love the crisp air and I especially love it when it's windy and it looks like it raining leaves!" and, "I also love driving down a tree lined street when everything is dry and you can see all the leaves swirling behind you in your rear view mirror." He said I need therapy. Secretly though, I think it made him smile.
I didn't watch my movies either. I just slept a lot. Oh well.
Oh, I heard a funny thing this morning. Someone asked an older person how they were and they said "I'm still on the right side of the grass." It wasn't until I got to my desk that I realized what they meant, then I laughed out loud. I swear, sometimes I'm so slow!
