Well, let me tell you

What’s going lately…

September is turning out to be an entertaining month. This and that are giving whatever a run for his money. 

I’ve seen too many trees turning color too soon. I’ve seen folks sliding through red lights as if the word is out to scare folks into an early Halloween. I made it to the thrift store Saturday drop off with a big bag of clothes, and a full grocery bag of stuff. It was so much fun,  the next time I will have even more.

A word about thrift store prices: Ouch!

That word describes how I feel when I look at price tags at a local thrift store. 

For years I have wanted a vintage dinning room sideboard/buffet. Today, a Federalist style buffet is at the thrift store marked $300.00 US dollars.  Less the 35% off sale going on today, the cost is still out of my budget. With a good polish, it is, I believe, a reseller’s dream. A quick Internet search today shows me there are folks that want thousands for them.

 It is unlikely I will buy one because I can repurpose a bureau to make my own for less. 

Repurpose? I estimate, using a weekend overnight bag, that I can fill it with old costume jewelry bits and pieces. Folks laugh about fabric stashes. Think bead stashes. I have broken necklace beads from 1975. None of it has value, no gold, no gemstones. 

The old cheap earrings though, have dangles that can be reused on non-allergenic ear wires.

I see a pattern.

Nice sunny day here in Vermont with a chance of showers tonight. My hope is the weather tomorrow is good for an out & about. 

Yesterday there were huge cumulus clouds in the sky. They were so large they look closer than they are. One peaking over the roof had an eerie in daylight vibe (see below).

Create good vibe’s this weekend!

Read a funny short story

Walk with friends

Browse umbrellas online

Sing to a bunch of grapes

What do you think that is?

 If you answer fall foliage, then you are correct. 

Say hello to autumn on the way

P.S. I have no idea how that happened,

 a photo published in person. 

I had fiddled with settings 

on Chrome earlier today.

Sitting on the porch, I find old bookmarks.

I think the sync feature might

have been the problem.

Welcome September!

What a day to start out the month that brings us into the fall season here in Vermont. Rainy and chilly this morning, I wore a quilted vest to my appointment.

Today was my diverticulitis episode CAT-scan follow- up test. Of course the inflammation is long gone from last May (after I took the few antibiotics leftover from a flare-up years ago). It’s over and done with. 

I am thrilled I made it without any major anxiety. The autumn weather even feels refreshing. Have you say though, I’d be happier if it was  hot summer day.

For now, a pleasant nap is in order as I only had barely 3 hours sleep last night.

Have a wonderful day!
