Fall...Fast Forwarded

Leaf Filled Path

Just as the leaves were falling, and changing color, we were hit with freezing temperatures! There was a chance of SNOW last night. (luckily that didn't happen here) 

 The sun is so very misleading. It was 32 degrees this morning!
I almost didn't go out for a run, almost. But I did.
And I rocked it. 
It felt good, and somehow my pace was better than it has been in, well, ever maybe. That I am not sure of, but definitely recently. 

 I just may be ready for the Jingle Bell Run. 43 days left and there is still time to donate, click here!

 But seriously, so many leaves with the chill doesn't make ya feel like raking. If only we could do this.

Does anyone else dislike raking? 
(I do, especially when I realized it now really hurts to jump in a pile of leaves.)

    I loathe raking...especially when the leaves in my yard come from someone else's tree!!! We started having our lawn service remove our leaves with the bagger/sucker feature on his riding mower...BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!

    oh, to be able to hire someone to take care of the leaves......
    We hired someone to get the yard in shape when we first moved in here. The lawn hadn't been mowed or tended to for the entire spring and summer, then we moved it.

    Since then we have tended to it ourselves, and SO many leaves, all on our property. A good workout I guess, but I dread doing it.

    I wish there were little green guys raking it under the sidewalk...lol.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
