Moon of New Friends

The Cherokee people celebrate this new sliver of moon as do Jews, Hindus and Greeks. Socializing, meeting new people, opening your heart to Love One Another is the key note.

I am preparing for a busy day at Hick's Orchard today. Tomorrow too. We were quite busy yesterday, Friday, even in the wind and rain. The foliage color is nearly at peak - certainly will be by mid-week. If we get heavy rain and wind, as we usually do, many leaves will be down.

I have a new neighbor. I am grateful for her, a single gal like myself. Younger though. She is a teacher in Fort Ann. I hope we will be friends and look out for one another. The house on the other side of me is now for sale. I think that one is for sale for economic reasons.

My house faces East so I get the early morning rays of Sun. I open my front door since I have a glass storm door. It is like having solar heat. I hope this house will heat easily and cheaply this winter. Time is flying by, September is gone and here we are in October. I am looking for help to assist me in winterizing my motorhome. So many things that need to be done in preparation for winter which will come overnight. Today, October 4th, 1987, there was an incredible snow storm, 18" on the trees that hadn't lost their foliage. Power went out for days,trees fell down, it was a mess. I remember clearly since my oldest grandchild, Patrick, was born about 4:00 today 21 years ago. Luckily, I had gone to the hospital early in the a.m. because I never would have made it later in the day. My daughter, Jill, is having a party for him today in Vermont. Unfortunately, I cannot make it since this is one of our busiest weekends in the short intense season of apple harvest.

Gotta walk Sebastian before work. More later -

See ya
