Mike
rumbled into our driveway at 3:30 yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, Sept. 17).
Nellie, Bess, and I were glad to see him. Correction: Nellie and I were glad to
see him and Bess was downright elated, as though she sensed the beginning of
more really good times. After greeting Mike affectionately, Nellie ran to
nuzzle me as if to say, “Hey – Mike’s home! Isn’t it great? But you did a
really good job of taking care of me.” Then she moved off to continue her quiet
lounging while Bess spent the rest of the afternoon trailing Mike, bouncing in
and out of the house behind him while he unpacked his stuff and cleaned his
motorcycle.

Now
our autumn schedule begins in earnest. I’m cleaning and exchanging “Americana” for
pumpkins and Halloween. My schedule is filling up with meetings while Mike and
Ken look forward to hunting. Washington chukar season opens on Saturday (Sept.
20) and next week is the Washington “old man’s” pheasant season. We laugh about
that “old man” season – giving a handicap to the guys who have plenty of time and
are also the largest age group of hunters. Whatever.
How goes the decorating? Mine have been up long enough that I've been forced to dust around them. I amazed at how much better things look when they're not dusty! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have set out autumn / Halloween decorations. And the other day I once again washed my crystal, packed it up, and stashed it away. Now I have another shelf for my "ornaments."
ReplyDeleteYes, it's true that things sparkle when free of dust.
