Hunker Down
Oct 16, 2009 by Naomi.
After a sudden burst of energy early this morning (could it be from the Halloween treats I sampled, Have to sure they are good enough for the spooks) I went to work and covered the outside part of my air conditioner. I haven’t had many days free of the McNary Education Center for the last months; school kids were registered regularly and I would come home really bushed, eat, and then fall asleep. Well Thursday was the last of the school kids for the season, so I looked over what has to be done at home. I began hunting for my winter clothes, specifically wool socks to wear in my knee high boots on my train trip next week. Found long sleeved shirts, bathrobes, jackets, but no wool socks. I suppose they are out in the back shed but I didn’t get that far today.
During the hunting I found 4 boxes of photos I had forgotten. Snapshots that have negatives and slides, not useful for the internet. I found one of me and Senator Barbara Mukulski when Pat Cochrane brought her to Richland for an Eleanor Roosevelt breakfast. It will take days to go through the packages and decide if they should be scanned or not. That can wait until I am marooned by snow and ice. HA! Well some day. . .
Still having lovely fall weather, 40’s overnight. One night that froze tomato plants of which I have none but nights are not cold enough to turn leaves red. Walnut leaves usually turn a nice yellow but they fell off already. I raked the loose ones off my driveway last week after giving up the idea that the wind would blow them away. Nice dream. Can’t figure the weather this month, nice rain for two days and surprisingly no wind followed to dry it up so the soil is nice and moist. Global warming, of course, and I am doing what I can about that.
My kitchen is outfitted with new energy-saving electrical appliances — counter top oven, teakettle, and frying pan. That reminds me, I must bake corn bread. Like I need to have more good things on hand to eat. If I work as hard tomorrow as I did today, it will wear off. And there is lots more to do before the ground freezes.
