Hello, it is an interesting morning.
I did not notice when we were outside earlier that there were every so tiny balls of snow on the deck.
As the sky lightens they are noticeable.
Noticed some on the shingles outside my bedroom window.
There is a coolness to the air definitely this morning.
The sky is overcast with medium blue clouds which appear to be lightening.
The first photo was a question on the Weather Channel however I think some of the points are a great idea to begin to put into play.
My tree out front through my bedroom window.
Still so many green leaves but lots of yellow golden ones and so many on the ground.
They are making a crunchy bed below.
Today will be spent inside and outside.
If the day allows I will be climbing up on my trusty tall step ladder to clean out the eavestrough outside my bedroom window.
I should have down it during the nice weather but alas I had forgot about the taller ladder.
I have a five foot one which I use in the house all the time.
The tall one is from my friend and neighbor so I don’t think of it even though it is in the garage.
Anyway.
Last night I put away the table umbrellas and some of the furniture.
There are a few things to finish outside in preparation for the upcoming cold months.
There is a list a mile or so long to do inside the house.
Those things that are not noticeable to the naked eye but things one puts off during the summer months to spend the precious time outdoors.
So almost time to start laundry and put the COFFEE on …. I do need coffee.
We went to bed pretty early and Mr. Alvin decided he needed to go outside at 2:00 a.m. and then we were up at 5:00 a.m. so he could eat and finally I caved a bit later and we are up.
Actually have been up for a bit now.
Changed our bedding and gathered up laundry in upstairs.
Well I had better get this show on the road.
Might require a nap a bit later.
We will need to walk a bit later.
Last night I caved as after catching the bus to the vet and carrying Alvin’s food, glucosamine and one can of wet food home, I was cold and tired.
Been a long day and week.
We went for one short walk to our friend’s house to deliver her tea order.
I hope that you enjoy this Saturday as will I.
I do like doing things around the house and if possible will finish the prep work outside today otherwise it will be tomorrow.
Life is filled with kindness and respect and it begins with ourselves.
Always, Carol & Alvin

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 29th day of January, 2015.
How are you this morning?
Another weekend about to arrive.
What are your plans?
Mine are pretty much the same from week to week.
I have a list of things to do on Saturday my day off for the week.
The list can range from laundry which is always on the top to running out to take Alvin to the Vet to have his pedicure to coffee with my girl friends to making jewellery to cleaning.
It is a varied list for the most part from week to week.
NICE.
I am very blessed and even though sometimes my “EGO” gets in the way ( I do not like when it rears it’s ugly head as I always go over and over the situation and give myself heck ).
I guess most people have a moment or three.
I try very hard every day to be polite, helpful and kind and not to let my feelings which are my EGO take over a situation.
Because it usually means I let a comment or situation be personal and most times they are not.
Last night I let some comments get my EGO and I regret a couple of things that I said and not that they were particularly mean or low-spirited but I felt regretful for letting the words leave my mouth.
You know what I mean.
I believe that most people let it happen from time to time.
Sometimes it is just that we take things personally when they are not meant to be .
Anyway …. that is my “thought” for this Friday.
Try to … I will be a better, more thoughtful, kind and generous person today.
Thank you for reading and I love your comments.
Special Hello to: all my fellow bloggers ….. great job.
Always, Carol and Alvin
P.S: this thought has always ran through my mind ….. who are the people who get to design the “facial tissues boxes” ….. the KLEENEX boxes and such. They always do such an awesome job. Now I want my kleenex boxes to match my decor. I would love to design these boxes. I think this would be one of the best jobs on the planet and you never hear about it.
