Yum

It's almost December.
How did that happen ?
No, I mean it.
Today in the woods it's in the 20's.
Frozen and did not get warm enough.
The sun did come out.
The girls went out back.
I checked them every ten or so
to see if they'd become
frozen puppies in the woods.
They are now inside.
Warm and napping.
Dreaming of the Spring and Summer days.
I'm dreaming of those too.
 
The cookies above are what I make
during the Holiday Season.
Nothing fancy.
Just darn good.
Yum.
I don't usual bake.
Not my talent.
Cooking in general is not my thing.
Not that I wouldn't want to have that ability
to make a q tip into a shopping mall.
(think about it and let me know if you get this)
 
I seem to ruin most recipes.
Cookies, not so much.
 
Anyway, with it being so cold,
I thought of these and was shocked
that it was almost that time of year.
 
The leaves in the woods are almost gone.
Was actual pretty with them.
Was a nice Fall over here.
The cold now is a
yell out that it's almost Winter.
 
I hope it doesn't get too cold.
I don't mind it but not on the roads
or on the sidewalks.
I just want to look at it.
Ya know what I mean.
I also have to find my warm coat.
Jean jacket isn't thick enough for today.
Gloves, where are they.
I know I have some in the closet.
 
The cats are all napping.
Heater vent or soft blanket.
The girls are in the hall.
Me, I'm in the den.
I was watching bird tv.
I think I enjoy it more than these furry balls
that I set it up for.
Seriously, I swear I go eee eee eee.
 
Til next time,
This is a very cold old lady,
who lives in the woods
with her purr and fur gang,

Mondays With Meredith Ann

I know that Fall is here but
this turning the clock back an hour
 just made my napping time go off schedule.
I think my face says it all.

Also, Mom doesn't let me go outside as much.
Something about it being cold and wet.
I want Spring and Summer back.
Like, NOW.

I will go nap now and dream of warmer days.

Shall I Put An Add In The Paper

It's been a productive day.
Sort of.
Got this clean.
Dusted that shelf.
Put that pile in recycling.
Rinsed out those bottles.
Tons of magazines are
waiting in my car for their ride
to the local paper bin.
All those indoors,
it's too cold to go outside,
kind of things.

I did try though.
I walked to get the mail.
Have a long driveway.
Got the garbage back in.
Long driveway thing .. again.

Looked at all the fallen leaves.
Do you step on them ?
To hear the crunch and then walk weird
so that your next step hits another crunchy one ?

I sat out back with Mere and Maddy Jean
with my new mag and a cool drink.

Only for a few moments though
The sun .. it moved.

Now, I'm in looking up a new coffee
that I read about.

Thought that I really do need to buy a new machine.
Mine drips all over.
 I gave up and
have an old blue towel under it.
Thought it was important for it to drip.
 At least to the coffee machine,
 so who am I to complain.

So, I'm looking for a new.

Does anyone love what they have ?
What kind of coffee do you like ?

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
