Columbus Day Weekend



This weekend past, we here in The US commemorated Columbus Day while our friends to the north in Canada celebrated Thanksgiving.
Although I was on call Fri., Sat., & Sun The Gods were kind to me and I had two epidurals and 1 c-section. All on Sunday and during daylight hours. That coupled with the fact that two of our three children came home for the weekend made for a terrific holiday. The weather was perfect "indian summer" and conducive to fall clean up chores.

As with most things, many hands make light work. J. brought his girlfriend home to "Meet the Parents" and what a delightful young woman she is. Very down to earth, she asked how can I help to D. who was neck high in flower bed cleaning.



While the girls weed wacked the flower beds, J. and I "swept" and power washed the garage. The 2nd story houses my gym.



Monday after our daughter left to return to Albany, D. and I did a marathon fall chore clean up. As well, I installed a new carpet on the closed in porch. I travelled around the neighborhood just before supper to snap some of the local color. The two spectacular maples in our yard are just starting to turn. They are usually some of the last trees in the village to turn and to drop their leaves.




"The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down"

LLOYD PRICE lyrics - "Stagger Lee"
