Holing Up

 We had our carpeting cleaned this morning. To stay out of the way and then off the damp carpet, I holed up in our sunroom.


The cleaners recommended that we not reposition the other furniture until tomorrow morning. It's going to be a long evening with no Lazy Boy chair to sit in.

Earlier this morning I went to the Friends of the Library sale at North Webster. I was a bit disappointed in the selection of books. Hardly any non-fiction. 2 of the 3 novels I bought are secular so may have some scenes/language I'd rather not read, but I will give them a try. I also bought 3 CDs.



We did see Seabiscuit before, but I think I will enjoy watching it again. 

We had placed our loveseat, which was mostly on the area rug,  facing north while we watched Jeopardy. I could see quite a bit of color in the sky after a gray and rainy day.


When I stepped outside to face west toward the sunset I was blown away.


The sky looked like it was on fire. Well worth the effort to go look.

Fall came in with cold rain and winds yesterday. I had to find my flannel sheet (which I use as a blanket during the transition). I also turned the heat on. It is going to warm up some Sunday and early next week. I am glad to have some new books and CDs to while away the cold gloomy weeks coming.

An Autumn Outing

We started out the day with breakfast at a diner next to Lake Webster. My husband, my sister-in-law, and I next went to a Friends of the Library book sale. Found 18 books for the retirement village library. S-I-L was happy, too, because she found a book she has been looking for (to replace a copy she loaned out and never got back).
Then we went north a short drive to Shock Lake.

The foliage isn’t quite at peak color yet in this location. Can you see the frog? There was another one but it was too far to photograph.
We finished the outing at Pisgah Marsh boardwalk.
Mostly sassafras and sumac in fall color. Saw geese, swans, sandhill cranes, and a blue heron. It was a pleasantly warm day. We had a good time.
