Musings

Richard seems to be recovering fine after the surgery. He's actually felt good enough to be outside raking up leaves from the yard. We have a huge American Elm tree in our yard and there are a lot of other trees in the neighborhood, so getting the leaves taken care of is a lot of work!

We had a few thunderstorms move through the area today, and it's looking like more are on the way. We're even supposed to have snow by this weekend. Hopefully, we'll have all the leaves bagged up and disposed of by the time the snow hits.

My feelings about the election results are a bit mixed, but I'm glad it's over! Now, we don't have to watch all the awful mudslinging ads on TV or get any annoying calls on behalf of the candidates. Some of the candidates and measures I voted for won and some didn't...but I just can't stress enough how grateful I am to not hear any more of the awful mudslinging ads.
