Good Morning! cool dreary here today.

Whow I miss Summer already. I like fall but not when the sun dosent shine, that sounds like a title for a song. I have been so busy these past few days. I had a lot of drawing to do in PSP. Bill and I got our flu shots Sunday we went to Jewel our local grocery store at the pharmacy they were giving out flu shots. No one was waiting I couldent believe it! so I said lets just get it over with and we did. The next day Bill got sick he ran a pretty high fewer 102.8 will that scarred me and he could hardly walk. So I had him take Tylenol thats what he is allowed to take. Today he is so much better, but I told him no running around today he likes to run here and run their.. Yesterday he made 3 trips out running around and he was sick, the story of his life LOL. Aletha came over to help me with my computer we own a internet group together and wouldent you know we had a power failure due to the high winds,she didnt let me know she was coming she was suppost to come on Tuesday OH well she didnt get to help me maby another time. Of course they fixed the problem 5 minutes after she left they fixed it right behind my house on the pole we waited and waited they just sat in their truck for the longest time and she was worried about her dog who is old and having problems. She left and Cindy came over, she just missed Aletha by 10 minutes she was hoping to get here befor she left. After Cindy left Trish, Sara and Freda came over another miss they were dissapointed because they missed Cindy and Aletha.. Some day we will all get to be here at the same time.LOL I'll take a picture... The Parakeets are still hanging around they both were eating together on the feeders I dont know how much longer! the temp is dropping into the 40s at night and I dont know if they will survive and believe me they dont want to get caught.. we have tried. Thats all for now have to get some dusting done befor I can write in it LOL

Here is a resent photos of them on the feeder together, we call them blue boy and lavender lady..

The Cage Bill bought, hope it works.


Beautiful Sun Rise this week, isnt it beautiful.


Whow what a day I was so busy working out side trimming all over the place with the edger gosh that is a hard job after a while it feels like it weighs 50 Lbs. I am not crazy about it but it has to be done and as long as Iam able I will do it (good exercise). I also did some cleaning up of the plants trimming here and their I spent 4 hours working out side so what does that say LOL I did a lot.. Bill used the riding mower and went around the edge with the push mower. I didnt have much computer time today and thats ok have to break away now and then . Our flying free parakeets are having a ball free as can bee, the little buggers dont want to even go near the cage Bill bought for them so we can rescue them befor our nasty fall gets here. Our next door neighbor went on a trip to South Carolina for about 10 days I know they are going to have a great time they went to visit their son they take a lot of trips during the year they are lucky they are able to do that both being in their 80s and their daughter went along with them as always.. They gave me a key to their house and a plate full of fudge to die for!! I sure dont need the fudge but its so good LOL. Thats it from me today have other things that I should be doing. Here are a couple of photos. Enjoy.

Fall is on the way

Isnt that a beautiful picture, I found on the internet, of course I will be using it as a desk top some time down the line. Fall is such a beautiful time of year one of my favorites only the colors not the cold wet weather that comes with it. Today we went to Orland to eat lunch we stopped at the Patio one of Bills favorites, its ok but I prefer Portilos. I just can figure HOW we have been Married for 48 years we are total opposits we dont like any thing the same LOL. OH its the challenge I guess.. LOL We stopped by Alethas she finally came out of the house I think maby she didnt know we were their. We wanted to check the construction going on behind her house. I wish I would have brought my camera they are building a hugh Banquet Hall it looks very impressive and next to that a 8 unit Strip Mall all matching brick and design its really going to Inhance the view behind her house, The back of all this faces her house although she didnt have anything back their for the 30 some years except a field full of weeds. It will take some getting used to I think they are going to like it. I Think!!! LOL It was nice to get away for a few hours refreshing we also stopped at the creamery on the way back and sat on some benches and ate Ice crean its a new place in Orland around 159th & Wolf. So I ate my quota for today LOL
Then I came home and trimmed the willow a bit other wise it looks crappy.. It always looks better after I do that. I have it now so I just stand on the ground and trim all around I dont have to get up on a ladder anymore.

OK I dont know what happened! I didnt do it, but my followers dissapeared. I reported it so who knows what they will do about it. I can go into post and they show up but not on the dashboard.. AHHHH technoligy what can I say. Its raining today again I made a mistake 23 days with out rain I thought it was 20. Its the Mid West dont they realize we get a lot of rain here in September. LOL I walked home from a meeting at my Church thru the field, I was out of breath, boy am I out of shape. I can remember walking 3 miles with Bob and Bill 4 or 5 times a week and it was nothing. Time to start thinking about going to the Mall to walk. Iam working on making new web pages for our recipe Chapter in the group Aletha and I are in partnership with another Lady. What was I thinking LOL I must have had a brain cramp when I started that project. I keep changing it hopefully I will finally like the finished product.. OK like I said Iam not the perfect speller so excuse any mistakes.. CHOW From Me WHOW That rain is really coming down..

My GrandSon & His Grand Father.

Steve and Bill

I just realized I never posted a picture of my fantastic GrandSon who is with out a doubt one of the nicest young men I know.. So here's to Steve he has always been our helper around here and we do appreciate everything he does..to help his GrandPa and I. Thats the both of them they have a very special bond..

Sharing a photo of Blue Boy

We named him Blue Boy

Whow !! a gloomy start today! although I cant complain but why change now LOL. We finally had rain yesterday after about 20 days of no rain at all. I cleaned up the area early today where we have our bird feeders. I usually do that about once a week. We add fresh seed to the feeders every day their are so many birds around here and they look forward to the fresh seed. We also have a couple of parakeets who look forward to it as well. I do worry about them as they will not survive our winters here and believe me when I say they do not want to get captured!! because we have tried. Their is also another one that is almost all white. I didnt take a picture of her yet I hope to soon. She is a little skiddish not as tame as blue boy.

Looking Up Our Willow Tree. Brown clump to the right is nest.


My Pixel Cat..


Good Morning from ME, its a beautyful morning! no fog this morning. Maby its because I didnt get out of bed at the crack of dawn. lol today. I am going to be busy doing my crafts on the computer as we all know I love to pixel art and I really should add some of my newer things that I made to my web page. Oh and of course visit my F.B Buddies thats fun I am enjoying that. Iam really getting behind with the web page.. Cindy, Megan, Julie and not sure about Brittney she usually works on Saturday and comes over after, are all coming over later. I made some spaghetti for Megan to take home (she likes my spaghetti)! Me too.. LOL Cindy cant eat it (tomatoes) she isnt suppost to eat tomatoes. What a bummer that is.. here is my latest pixel painting and a unique at least to me a look up my willow tree their is a squirels nest up their. We have a squirel feeder my grand son put on the tree so its always a favorite place for them to be. OK I know I jump around when typing a message thats just me LOL Gotta go turn off the sprinkler in front I was finishing up from yesterday it got dark so I turned it off. We dont have a sprinkler system at this house so I have to do it my self and its a good thing actually I get exercise.. Taking care of it and draging hoses around! good for keeping up the strength in my arms. OH one last thing Iam not the perfect speller and Iam still learning the Blogger and dont think they have a spell check so sorry about that.. I will try to do better.

CHOW from Me

Another foggy day in Bourbonnais check out the geese flying that's so cool I love it. Now the sun is finally out it was a cool start 40 40-something when I got up and slowly climbed. I made Spaghetti sauce with our tomatoes from our garden that I had seeded removed the skins from and froze it turned out fantastic.YUMMY... I did some decorating outside yesterday, as I always do every year. One outside picture is kind of blurry for some reason I didnt have it set right for the wreath I made and the pumpkins we bought from a farmer out in the country I always buy them, carve them, and put a candle in them on Halloween. The kids like that.

Another Foggy Day

My Pumpkin lit up for the camers.

Geese Flying in the Fog.

The sun is shining here finally after a dence foggy start, it was a cool morning in the 40s when I got up and of course headed right to the coffee and computer Oh first let the dogs out.. I made spaghetti sause for last night supper with my tomatoes I got from out garden it turned out super fantastic LOL of course!! I also took some pictures of my fall decorations their a little blurry I have to do better the next time.

Another foggy morning this is the first year. I can remember that we had so many foggy days its kind of cool althought today it didnt last as long as other mornings. Saturday Bill went to the local coffee house in our area and listened to some old men play guitar LOL he is getting mentaly ready to join them.
