I've got Rhythm

Who could ask for anything more!  Okay...It's just Day 3 of working strawberry so I don't want to get all cocky yet.  BUT I am making a list at night to get things done in the a.m. before I punch out at home and punch in at work.  It's getting to be routine; now if my hours at work were set then I'd be all set.  Today I go in at 10 a.m.  There is a lot of wiggle room to dawdle.  I must keep focused.

Oh, I wanted to show you a magnificent tree I passed by yesterday.  Nature seems to be in rhythm too.  Doesn't it make you stop and stare in awe?

look at that beautiful deep red color.

Beautiful Red Maple

Here is a photo of the leaves changing on my street...

actually it looks prettier from the other direction!

Oh gosh, I did it again.  Focus....focus.  I pulled out my list from last night and I'm right on track.  8:00 a.m.- breakfast/ blog/ check emails.  CHECK (I don't know how or if I can make the "check" symbol on this blog site.)  So I was talking about rhythm and focus and keeping on track, right?  After work yesterday I checked on Boy and he had already completed his schoolwork/ talked to his online teachers/ and was getting ready for one more class.  Have I told you how proud I am of him?  Any who, I went to the store to purchase some healthy snacks.  Did I mention this already?  I'm feeling some déjà vu here.  I must say the grapes looked horrendous.  I guess it's not grape season.  The apples looked shiny red and crisp.  I wonder how much wax crap they need to put on them to shine them up that way.  So back to staying focused....look what I found...

Brita individual water bottles! Cool.

 I took my reusable bags to the store with me and bought a reusable water bottle that will filter the yuckies out of tap water.  This, by the way, was on my shopping list.  I did not, well, I can't really say I didn't buy anything not on my list.

Pumpkin Pie Spice!

So, it's not sugar free/ fat free/ or any of the frees I should be consuming, BUT if I have a tbsp a day, what's the harm, right?  Eat your heart out Starbucks; since you are not located in my rural town, I have to make due? do? dew? Doo doo....what's the spelling of this phrase I always use?

Grainiacs, I'm getting off course in my schedule, so I'll bid you (ahem) adieu and leave you with a parting photo-- my backyard this morning.  Old Man Winter is a-comin'.  Stay bundled up.

This is not snow

But snow is coming; I'm sure of it.
