My Salutation

HAPPY DAY which I posted at the end of yesterday's post is what I strongly feel about the Historical Presidential Election of November 3 . Today , I am  starting to really feel that we will be hearing gentler kinder and reasonable vocabulary coming from our televisions and social media . Not always but hopefully in a more balanced manner . Even though there will always be different opinions - which is what a working democracy is all about we can anticipate hearing more adjectives that represent a nation of ideas, debates and efforts toward resolutions without the constant vitriol diatribe . 

Perhaps , the Covid-19 virus will be managed and directed by more reasonable minds .  And, we can feel optimism about regaining some of the life styles that we have lost .

The TO-DO list is long , but this is the time to approach these serious topics with more thoughts of what will be good for "The People" and not behaviors that serve "One Person" .

HAPPY DAY FILLED WITH THANKFULNESS ,

Some More Really Good Food And A Lot More

In the kitchen again a few days ago .  This time another new recipe called Creamy Shrimp Pasta with Pesto and Tomatoes.

The sauce that bathes these ingredients really is the star of this delightful entrée .  Garlic cloves , red pepper flakes , white wine , half and half cream and basil pesto comes together as a creamy delight .

A nice Surprise from my Granddaughter.

It's Perfect !

And , it looks lovely at my front door where I can see it every time I use the front door . It sure warms my heart !

I am so excited that I may have found help with the care of my garden and home maintenance . Yesterday, all of the 16 barrels full of yard waste (weeds, leaves and pruning) from my garden work were taken to the Yard Waste Dump . And , my roof was cleaned off of lots of leaves and branches with a leaf blower and all the debris was hauled to the Dump .  Up until about three years ago I was able to get up on the roof and use the leaf blower . I rather enjoyed it and it saved money .  Those days are in the past and never to return .  

Tomorrow "The Workers" are going to bring a large portable propane tank (much larger than the barbeque size tank) and prepare my generator so that all I need to do is turn off the main electricity and turn on the switch when the power goes off .  Our last warning regarding loss of power did not effect me but did affect many in nearby locations .  I think my power stayed on because I am less than one block away from Main Street of the historical town that I live in. But , I did lose Internet connection for two days . It is my understanding that there will be a large rolling outage in California and I have no way of knowing if my location will be off .  But , it is great that I will be prepared if it is .  

We are making a list and prioritizing the other jobs that needs to be done to maintain my home the way I wish it to be . All of this is such a blessing !

What a Crazy and Frightening Federal Government with far reaching tentacles all the way to cities and little towns .

Stay Well and we must Stay Hopeful .

Is This An Important Science Project

   

Or What ? 

😀
   

It feels a bit silly watching this ONE ACORN SQUASH grow when there are so many wonderful blog photos with squash over growing their boundaries that their owners established .  And , they are looking for ways to use the bounty that their garden has produced!

Oh Well , I'll keep watching my acorn squash ! 

Return in about a week and I should be done with this little adventure in my garden . 

It is almost impossible to imagine that our world affairs could get any worse !  But, we know it could . Let's all generate a bounty of positive energy and pray for better times .

See you soon .  Everyone take special care .
