Look at it this way. The bike trips might hold back for a week or two.

we're safe from racers this time of year - the marathon is over and the ski races and dog races don't happen until February and March.* and in all fairness, the 3 races that use us as a checkpoint are now very good at getting in touch. they just haven't always been in the past.
however, we only got the basement at the bar dried out and cleaned on MONDAY. and it's a super creepypants basement and I prefer not to spend any more time down there!
however, I will live. we got off really easy compared to some others.
*travelers make note: if you love winter sports and winter fun, the best time to visit Alaska is February and March. Especially March. very few other tourists, lots of sunlight, and lots of races to attend. it's like a local secret crazy fun party time.

We've been having glorious fall weather, even if a little rainy. I woke this morning to clear sunny skies and temps in the high 40's.
On the down side, the cheap smoked sausage that hubby and I had for supper last night staged a revolt in the wee hours of the morning. Ugh!. Bad enough for me, but my poor man is going to have a very uncomfortable day driving that truck.

My comfy chair is being delivered tomorrow-- just in time for some change to the weather . I've thought of accessorizing the new piece of furniture with a throw and some pillows and reading material, but will now add in the bottle of Port.

Greetings from Outpost Alves
I entered a raffle at the school book store a couple days ago. I just got notice that:
1. I won a prize!
2. it's kind of a crappy, pathetic little prize. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I won five gift vouchers for the library "book sale." This is an ongoing book sale, and ordinarily the books are offered at 25 cents. These are the same damn books I have seen sitting on this shelf for the last two years, because nobody wants them.
So basically, my gift is worth $1.25 and my prospects of getting something actually worth that are pretty slim.
But hey! A prize is a prize! And maybe there will be a huge donation of cool stuff in the next few days.

Going through some old family papers and found Mr Image's Great Grandmother's Face Powder recipe.
It starts with 1 lb of prepared chalk mashed, then you add glycerine, bay rum, rose water, and spirit of rosemary and end with oil of bitter almond. She wrote that it makes 1/2 gallon of face powder. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) Seems like a very large amount to powder one's face. I have no idea where one would buy such things as spirit of rosemary, oil of bitter almond, and prepared chalk now a days. I might do a little google search and see what turns up.

The wine bar around the corner from me used to carry a lovely port that tasted like chocolate, till the winery that made it went out of business. I still feel guilty for not having prevented that by drinking more port.

I am ready for some rain! Here in the Northwest, we get rain aplenty but we've really had but a cautious drip all summer and still no rain! Though I love a good Indian Summer, I think the ground here is panting for a good drink! Hopefully we'll get some rain this weekend, just a nice dusting would do to get the ground softened up for the winter precip. I may regret this later, but a good nap on a rainy day would be lovely.

how awesome is that?
spirit of rosemary is probably a tincture. so - stick a bundle of rosemary in some alcohol (vodka is easy), stick it in a window and shake once a day for a few months. voila.
bitter almonds are just that - some almond trees make a more bitter version. you can buy it as an essential oil at specialty shops. don't ingest it though - almonds contain cyanide. not enough to be an issue when eating the nuts, but the essential oil concentrates it. it would probably taste horrific anyway.
I honestly don't see where it would make a huge difference to get bitter almond versus plain old almond oil, though. I looked in some of my books (not thoroughly) and the chemical difference between the two is negligible - essentially, from my quick reading, it sounds like bitter almond is better than sweet for making a nice almond smell to things. and regular almond oil would be WAY cheaper.
have fun!

You didn't get enough during June-uary this year?
This is about the time that we generally have our first frost. It was down to 37F last night and we finally turned on the heater.

Thanks for the research Comet. I don't think I will be making the face powder as I am of the age when I have a lot of nicks and crannies on my face for it to clump in. I may try grandma's recipe for Sour Kraut Cake, that I found as well, just to see how it tastes. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

Just got back from our family reunion in Florida to frozen tomatoes. I picked a gallon bucket of green tomatoes today and will leave them in the greenhouse to ripen. I have to dig up the potatoes and cover the rest before the next inevitable freeze. The collard greens didn't freeze, or the green chiles, so I'm replanting in the greenhouse to have spinach, herbs and lettuce in the winter.
Things I have learned:
I will keep the hoop covers over the plants next year, as they kept off bugs very well, I even have a warming cover for cold nights in the spring and keep the Christmas lights on the trees in the orchard to keep the my little buds warm. And I will continue to talk to the plants and threaten them, if they don't produce, they are "gone".
Today the strawberry bed got built, so next year, we'll have some yummy fruits.
Being a "hobby farmer" is not easy, people.

I'm taking votes. I'm thinking Halloween, but then comfy house clothes suitable for embarrassing the minions when answering the door.
I'm not really into the wolf, the skeleton, or the dino. love the rest. so far I have one vote for the panda and one vote for the black cat. (my nickname is Panda, FYI)
what do you all say?

I vote for the panda. I think there's a longer-term question of what you would most like to lie around the house/sleep in. When my kids were very little, I always bought costume-style pj's for them so they got loads of wear beyond just the one night. Let the adults in on the fun, I say.
(Never mind, that's pretty much what you said. Note to self: read for comprehension.)

Panda by a landslide and the order is placed. I'll try to share photos with you all. I'm looking forward to it! I'm so sick of the trend towards trashy costumes for women. Not that I don't embrace some seriously trashy dressing sometimes, mind - I'l all about giving the girls some air. But on Halloween it's become too much. so I want to buck the trend and tend bar in some baggyass jammies!
It will look especially sexy with my winter shoepacks, natch.
Judy - go for the owl and we can be kigurumi buddies! and OF COURSE it's appropriate for choir practice! hell, I want photos of the owl playing the organ...

Too late! I was thinking with all your rain you should be a river otter! Oh well. We finally have rain and I can just hear the lawn and trees breathing a great sigh of relief! Yes Carex, that was a memorable late winter! But even then, I loved the rain (maybe in late May I finally had had enough!). Next 10 days have rain somewhere in the day. I got to see Patricia McKillip last night at our local bookstore and she was quite the gracious lady. I took in my Alphabet of Thorns for her to autograph and said it was my favorite and she was surprised, "Really? I don't think I've ever heard someone tell me that that was their favorite before!" Since it was cold and rainy I also got to wear my black turtleneck sweater and my new grey scarf with very pretty lace and she loved my scarf.

I was at the Dollar Store yesterday and there were two entire aisles devoted to Christmas decorations already. Sigh.
Of course, I can't say much, I have a string of Christmas lights on my front porch that never comes down. (OK, OK, I realize that's a complete redneck cliche, but so be it )
It's a blustery, drippy day here in beautiful West TN so of course we have a cook out planned for this afternoon. That's ok, though, all the more reason for folks to come out, have a bite to eat with us and stay to watch football and drink beer. It's not like they can do yard work or anything...

Just got back from our family reunion trip to Florida. Why is it I always get an asthma attack, a cold and coughing like a chugging train. (Well, at least this time I didn't end up in the hospital). I used to love Florida, but when you can't spend quality time with the grandkids, it is kind of sad.
Do you think there is a shot of Florida pollen so I can breathe when I'm there? ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

The weather switched from way too hot to quite cool very quickly. Brunhilde's winter coat is not in yet, so she spends a lot of time in the garage in her heated bed. Of course, even her summer coat is impressively fluffy, so it hasn't been all that much of a hardship. It's just that the temperature change happened so abruptly that she hasn't had time to get used to it.
A couple of generous friends brought us plants from their gardens this weekend, so we spent a lot of time planting. Creaky and achy this morning, but worth it. We still have dozens of daffodil bulbs we need to put in the ground.

In the catagory of 'what was that?' - Sunday night I was cleaning up from dinner. Lord D was already asleep on the couch, Master B in his room with the door shut. I run a dish of throw away veges out to the yard waste/compost trash bin that is on the sidewalk and as I turn to come in, I hang my foot over the curbing, and splat, fall ass over teakettle into the gutter which is filled with about 2 inches of the rain that was pouring down all day, thinking "don't hit your head, you'll drown!" So I put my hand out to stop the fall, and got my backside soaked anyways. I clamber out of the gutter, look around to make sure the neighbors didn't see, and go inside. I have a tiny almost unnoticable scrape on the palm of my hand, but I clean up all the dishes and work on my granddaughter's quilt for her first birthday and finally head for bed. I lay down and my wrist is throbbing! I had to get an ice pack and wrap my entire wrist up and try to get some sleep. At this point I'm sincerely thinking I've broken it, will have to call the doc in the morning. About midnight I take two aspirin and finally fall asleep. By morning it was much better and usable at least, but what a silly thing to happen, all over recycling. I didn't know recycling was so dangerous!

Lady A, I hope it's nothing serious and that you feel better soon. What a scare, though!
I've been reveling in the gorgeous fall colors. It's beautiful here and it was beautiful in CT where I spent the weekend. I had the great good fortune to spend Saturday with my daughter shopping for her wedding dress. ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)
I spent many more hours than intended at the Hartford airport because there were tornado warnings in Chicago!! I didn't get home until after midnight, but no complaints. Better a safe, uneventful flight.

Just realized my tail is white, not black. Small complaint. But what's the point of having a nice, cute tail if nobody can see it to appreciate it? *sigh* i see a date with a sharpee in my future.

I second Moo's request...
Sad morning for me today. I woke up to find Quartermaine, The Great White Hunter, aka, my big old male cat, had died sometime during the night. I knew this was coming. He was old and had FIV but still, I had hoped to have a little more time with him. It looks like he just passed in his sleep. He was stretched out in one of his favorite sleeping spots and looked peaceful, for which I'm thankful.
It's just kind of sucky in the extreme. I'll miss the spoiled rotten old bugger.

It's all on me and I won't tell it.

I'm sorry, BessHiggs. Those furry creatures really own a big piece of our hearts.
But I have to say: quote:
It looks like he just passed in his sleep. He was stretched out in one of his favorite sleeping spots and looked peaceful
Would that we could all go as peacefully. I hope you can take some comfort in that.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

Amen.
Bess, you have my heartfelt sympathy. I know how hard it is to suddenly have an empty spot where your kitty used to be.

Amen. Jeez, it been a year, and I still wait for mine to come and jump on my lap. Much sympathy.

I cannot expect people to believe “

I'm so sorry Bess Higgs. I know from personal experience there is nothing worse than losing a beloved pet. ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif)
