Everybody woke up to sweater weather this morning, even Ricky's family in Tampa has 46* temp, it's 27* where Benji is. Bbbrrrrrr! I dressed in a turtleneck and sweats first thing, so I could walk the dogs. It's garbage day, and the last thing they need is garbage scraps. Both have been puny for the last day or two.

We didn't have frost, though. My rose bushes are loving the cooler weather and the rain. I performed radical surgery on them in August after everything turned brown. They immediately put on the healthiest new growth I've seen all year, with buds and blooms in abundance.

Betsy says Tara and Steve are coming with their boys the second weekend in November. Mother will have her 88th birthday on the 12th. Maybe I can get some pictures of her with Tara's family then. Betsy said Mother did not recognize her when she last visited, but she thought Richard was "pretty."

Blogger is down again, I just found out. Hopefully, it will be back online soon. This is getting very frustrating. I tried out MySpace over the weekend and really liked it. I may switch if this keeps up.

Once again, my horoscope was right on - I am behind schedule on a number of things. Better get busy. Sun is in Scorpio, Moon is going from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Life's not fair, but what does that have to do with the price of tea? If you're behind schedule, it's your own fault, so don't complain about it.
