MID-WEEK THOUGHTS.....
Here it is Wednesday already…..the week is half gone. When I was employed it was always a good day with only two left to put in. Since retirement, time goes by rather routine except for medical appointments and Sundays.
Monday and yesterday the leaves came down like snow flakes. They were so pretty a week ago and suddenly they are mostly on the ground. The cats were freaky about them blowing off the trees in such numbers…. and at times the acorns peppered down like buck shot……the outside cats tried to catch them or duck them, however it struck their fancy. Even our two inside cats sat fascinated by the windows watching the leaves float by.
Rocky called me to the door on Tuesday. He had been walking Mandy when he heard geese overhead……..he wanted me to see them so I hurried to the deck. It took a few minutes to find them as they were higher than I expected. They must have been on a good jet stream so high up……they were headed due South and we watched until they were out of sight.
Their continuous honking to each other and flight patterns are comforting in the way nature goes right on doing her thing regardless how us silly humans mess up her world. When I was a little girl in Omaha we saw a movie, Wild Geese Calling, with Henry Fonda and it seems like Sylvia Sidney had the female part…..anyway, for some reason I remembered the movie and how the geese making their pilgrimage each year was such a large part of it. It’s funny how some things stick in your mind from early years and in great detail……and now we can’t remember where we put our glasses down five minutes ago. That movie was way, way back in the 1930’s……..
Rocky had his lab work today and so far they haven’t called us with results. I know they will call as soon as they can…..they don’t want their patients feeling anxious. His normal chemo date is next Wednesday again and he’s feeling better, finally, after the last one. The side effects from this particular chemo have really packed a wallop but hopefully it’s beating the cancer up, too.
We have entered into November which means election time, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and preparation time for Christmas. It is a time to be in closer touch with family and friends and to think of others less fortunate. No matter how little or how much we have there are wonderful ways to share our abundance with others. Finding a way to do that is where the fun is……..
Until the next time,
