And speaking of rain, the area west of the Rockies is experiencing lots of rain. Something that doesn't happen normally. That may be a bad omen for the winter. If the water comes in the form of rain instead of snow, that will only further deepen the water shortage. Looks like Mother Nature is making her unhappiness known about how we humans are treating this beautiful blue planet.
We are a little more than halfway through the month, have you decided on a new small habit to try this month and is it working? I have to say that life keeps happening while I make wonderful (albeit probably unrealistic) plans to follow.
Of the three that I wanted to get back on track with, walking, journaling & meditating, I am only partially succeeding with journaling and meditating. Walking not so much unless you count all the steps I do around the house and yard. I am back on track with 30 exercise minutes on the bike but not with core or strength yet.
I think getting back to the 5am routine is one of the culprits but I can't totally blame it on that. I need to get my body to go to sleep earlier than 1am...but I haven't figured out how yet especially on football nights!
So, have you made any fall activity plans? I talked about my annual trip to see the Dear Jane Quilt and the Grandma Moses' Paintings. Well, there's another place I want to visit which isn't far from here and that's Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill Historic Home. This is not the Hyde Park Roosevelt Estate, it's Eleanor's personal home.
I think that one of the reasons I want to visit is that I really admired her and all her work when she was the First Lady and beyond. She was a very strong women advocating for human rights, women's rights and for the working poor something that continues to be needed, now more so that ever.
I've been thinking about the winter holidays but no real plans although I have purchased two gift items that were on a drastic sale table. Keep your eye on sales from now on to help with your budget which, if your's is like mine, is stretched to the limit.
I finished decorating the 'season of orange' on the main floor but I have a bit to do yet outside as well as on the second floor. I don't decorate too much in the big room on the second floor, but I like to at least introduce a few fall things.
That's all for today...have a great one...talk with you tomorrow...
