It's raining today

As much as I love bright, sunny days, I welcome those dreary, rainy days with open arms. They have a way of letting you get things done, that you would normally pass up because of the enticing sunshine and warmth. Whether I work out in the barn, or tackle a project (usually way over do) in the house, you still get a feeling or accoplishment and reward when the day is done. Right now we are at the start of the fall season, and rainly days seem to be more prevelant. Plus the days seem to be getting shorter in a real hurry. It doesn't give you much time to complete (or start) indoor/outdoor projects without some real planning. I seem to lack in the planning department. Not always, but I find, at this time of the year, I seem to have a real problem with it. It's probably denial....the fact that summer is ending (or has ended) and the long winter is ahead of us. Even though I spent a great deal of time outdoors in the Spring and Summer, when fall arrives, I feel like I did not get anything accomplished all summer, and now look fall/winter is on it's way. Panic, yeah somewhat, but then we have those glorious fall days, (except for the rain today) and that just puts you in such a great emotional frame of mind that the panic seems to vanish.
I decided to sleep in a little today. I got up at 7:15 am and started my day. First, let the dogs out, feed the cats, go out and feed the horses (with the dogs) come back in with the dogs, give them all a cookie, pour myself a cup of coffee, and think about my day ahead. Today is Sunday, so I won't have to rush into the shower, before everyone else gets up. I managed to get most of the laundry done, and dusted my house (3200 sq ft colonial) including the almost too embarrassing to mention cob webs formed in various corners of the house, before every one got up at 9:30 am. I even started a roast in that time. Not bad I would say, for my day off. Let's see how much more gets done since everyone is awake now, and moving about the house. This is usually when I loose my ambition, after everyone is up. I seem to find myself in the kitchen for the rest of the day, because of......"whats for breakfast? " (no one seems to be able to pour themselves a bowl of cereal, or toast a muffin), and then (actually pretty soon) "Are you making something for lunch?" still in the midst of cleaning up the breakfast mess....I swear, their stomachs are bottom less. I may be able to get to vacuum sometime today, or maybe it will have to wait till tomorrow. Not too worried about it.
Well the time is heading towards 2 pm now, and I'm sure the lunch crowd will be beckoning soon.
It's still raining, but it's Sunday, and the day is Glorious.......

blogging for dummies continued

Well this one made it, the other one is still suspenced as a scheduled post. I guess I'll just have to wait until it's released. I did notice that the date was different. My first post had a 9/27/08 date, and the one that I just posted, has a 9/28/08 date. Not sure why the difference in dates. They were both done on the 28th. Oh well, I'll just keep an eye on it. Not like I'm getting an award for this, so I'll just keep playing until I get it right :)

Blogging for dummies

That's probably what I should be reading. My first blog is suspended as a scheduled post. Not sure why, but I thought that I would try to send another one to see if I did anything wrong. Cross your fingers and hope that it shows up on my blog. Here we go........
