THROUGH MY WINDOWS

 Hello there, lovely people. It is Thursday, 12:25 pm and the sun is finally shining!😊 we are in the throes of Autumn and as I walk around our property and sit on the old bench I can smell the wonderful smell of Fall here in Eastern Pennsylvania. It's a mild day and a good day to be outside...the dogs are loving it. I feel kind today and I hope no one or no thing will burst my bubble. It might have something to do with the fact that I came across Maya Angela's quote... "My wish for you is that you continue to be who you are-continue to astonish the world with your acts of kindness. "  Man, that's powerful. I am interpreting that to mean my personal world. Roger and I have been bickering lately so he is going to be twisted sideways when I suddenly shower him with kindness when he arrives home from the dentist. 🤗 Hopefully it will shock him out of his grumpiness.🙃 So, what have I been doing? Not much productive. I've had a  hitch in my back for the past almos...

  Hello!  Lucy says WELCOME! I hope that you are enjoying the beauty that surrounds those of us that are enjoying cooler weather and the changing colors of FALL. I think that across the pond it is called Autumn, I call it both.  My family’s surname is Eaton and our roots began in England. A few traditions were passed down and remain today.  One being our love of brewed tea. In fact, I am enjoying a cup right now. Roger is watching football. It’s 6 PM and dusk is upon us already. I love these early days. I have my pjs on, and my iPods in, 2 dogs sharing my easy chair with me.  I have waited all Summer for these cozy evenings. I think I mentioned in my last post that I have figured out finally that I suffer from SAD-seasonal affective disorder or, in my case, summer season depression. I function much better in the Fall, Winter, and Spring.  That’s not to say my life is all hunky dory, I’m just not feeling depressed and oppressed. This past Thursday I  le...

  Hello from sunny Bethlehem in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. I hope you are all well. I am feeling very much better these days. This is my favorite time of year.After days of needed rain we are enjoying this lovely day. I intend to get out and walk walk, walk today.  Besides working on cleaning up on our back patio, I have been working on knitting a pair of Magic Heel Socks, reading  and watching an Italian series, (with English subtitles) called BULLET PROOF HEART. I enjoyed it so much! Roger hates subtitles but I don't mind. I often watch MHz Choice which is all subtitles.  Last week I visited my daughter in the Poconos. Her family is visiting grandparents in Florida, yes, during the time when IAN was going crazy there. They are all fine. The relatives live in Navarre and that area of the panhandle didn’t get hit very hard. My daughter who just returned from the Island in Maine, and who doesn't travel well elected to stay home with the pets and some much ...

  WELCOME! And hello! I have been missing in action and I apologize to my faithful readers. I guess the major reason is that I have been in a slump. Summers are my least favourite season. As I get older my SAD, but in my case I have a problem with too much light, has become more intense unfortunately. But, now that cooler temps are here and shorter days I am enjoying the cozy evenings. I have started going for walks again and become less of a recluse.  There's  nothing I can do about it but just accept it and endure. The leaves are changing here but after our dry summer I'm not sure what our foliage this year will be like. My daughter lives in the Poconos and time will tell whether it will be beautiful or blah. Our trees on our land are making me happy especially with a blue sky. We have a lot of young Cardinals on our property. And the birds are eating us out of house and home. Roger has already put the suet and peanut feeders out. I hope that you also are have enjoyed S...

  Hello dear readers! I hope you are well. It's Monday here. 10:15 in the morning. August 15th. I am counting the days until September. In my mind that month means Summer is over. I am making plans to head back to the Island. (Maine) There's still a lot of work to be done at the Homestead aka Mom's house. I hope to be there for most of the month but we shall see. I'm happy to report that we have our air conditioning working. August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd were a bit chaotic with 4 workman all over the place. I had to make sure I was up and dressed by 7:30, a definite hardship for me! They completely cleared out the old units, we have two  CA units one does the top two floors and the other does the bottom two floors. And a heat pump. So, that's why it was so expensive. I thought once we had a cooler house I would have a lot more get up and go but, sadly, that was wishful thinking. I am trying to keep ahead of the housework but there are days I sit and knit listening to boo...
