Ride A-Bout

Carol here ~ 

Everyone is saying that this years' foliage was the best they've seen in a long time so we decided to go for a bit of a ride a-bout on Monday to see for ourselves.  I would have liked to have made the Rangeley loop but my back would not have been happy with that.  So we ended up heading up to Bethel, then Newry and Upton making a stop at Screw Auger Falls.  We then headed down to Andover, Rumford Point and back home.  And yes, the foliage is gorgeous.  I didn't really take any pictures because you just can't get the color from a phone camera.

Thursday evening. Still here because the Nor’easter was a no show around here. Not complaining, just curious, will this be the norm for this winter, scream and holler about the upcoming disaster of a storm coming,,,,, that never shows up? I did not need extra rocks in my pocket, my regular three were enough. Time will tell if we get more than talk this winter. Matters little to me either way, if nothing comes I have nothing to relocate.

September

I've have felt pretty lousy most of September ~ a couple pukey episodes and several migraines so lots of reclining or horizontal days.  This is the view from my recliner, the leaves change daily.

Thursday evening, a nice sunny, chilly day. Carol said it was foggy when she climbed out of bed. (It was fine by the time I got up) We took my truck to the shop yesterday afternoon so I did not have to get it in there first thing this morning. I’m not a real big fan of early morning. I try to let the day get started on it’s own and stay out of the way. It seems to work ok that way.

Thursday, a nice cloudy calm day. Not too cold, not too hot. I used up the last of the gravel that had been delivered for me to use as I rebuild the driveway. That makes 20 yards I have spread so far. I have 12 more on order that hopefully arrives before too long. Hopefully that will be enough. Time will tell if it causes the water to do what I intended. 

I have enlarged ditches and created new ones as I strive to get the water to not run down the road. Sitting under the heating pad currently. It is supposed to rain tonight and maybe tomorrow so I might get to see what happens before I spread more gravel.

Nice day today as long as you are heavy enough not to get blown away. Very windy, I had to turn all my planters sideways along the wall to keep them from blowing over. 

This and That

Not much happening here so will just share some randomness.

We had a visit from grand Evan and also grand Parker and his girl Avery came for dinner Sunday but other than that it's been pretty quiet.  OK by me.

Had a visit from this guy the other morning...

guess he was looking for some breakfast.
