It gets dark early now. I hate when that happens.

 Hello nice People,

        We set the clocks back last night.  Does everyone do that?  I'll have to check that out.  Now, its 4:30 and getting dark.  I hate when that happens.  Go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.  I have a long day tomorrow.  I have to give up my mid-day run to go to  CPR and First Aid class.  And then Tuesday is Election day.  Finally!!!!!!  The polls already have the answer, and so many states have voted already.  When did that start? 

          As I type this,  I am watching an Eagles game on TV.  They're playing in Seattle.  And that just brought to mind Linda from Washington.  She was on vacation when the news hit about losing our Journals on AOL.  I have not come across a new blog/journal of hers.  If anyone has,  give me the link.  I would hate to lose track of her.  I was glad to see that Pioneer Woman was not deleted.  She has some good recipes.

     Hubby is getting ready for winter.  His wood pile is organized and ready to go.  It looks so good,  I kind of hate to use it.

Sal cuts and splits all by himself.  Its a lot of work but he enjoys it.   He knows every piece personally.  "Oh this piece came from so and so's tree."

He stacks it on this rack on the back deck.  This was an old soda rack from a store  that he came across years ago.  It gets used for more things.  I hang clothes on hangers on it to dry in the summer.  Its been a dolly to carry things from the front of the house.  The neighbors have even used it for transporting things.  Sometimes we have  to look for it.

 Here is our  Franklin Stove.  We put this in about 35 years ago.  It has kept us warm all those years.  Of course we have regular heat also.  Well, its time to get some supper moving.  Everyone have a good week and I will talkatchalater.

  2. I'll sure be glad when the election is over. It has been such an emotional one for everyone. Glad to see you are a McCain supporter my good friend. Whoever wins, we will have to hang with them and support them as best we can and keep on praying for our nation. Love your photo's.
    Hugs, Joyce

  3. Hi Marlene. Linda does have a blogspot but I see someone has left her address. I like your Franklin stove but I certainly don't miss using my fireplace. Haven't done that in years. Just too much trouble and work for just me to deal with. Your tile under the stove is exactly like mine in the kitchen and around my fireplace. Carpet even looks the same. Enjoy your cozy winter. We have warm temps now until a "cold snap" comes in. :)....
