Yesterday's stormy weather brought down branches of all sizes in the park, even a tree that must have been over 30' tall which blocked the path until park workers came and cut it up. Today all is calm and although the sun isn't shining it's not all that dismal out there. For a November day.
Thank you for all the comments on the fashions of the '40's. I agree that dresses look lovely and feminine but are not as warm and cozy as jeans and a warm sweater. Then there's the problem of wearing pantihose. Ugh. Tights are fine for chilly weather but.....
Now that Halloween is over the stores are really getting all the Christmas things out on the shelves. I won't be needing anything in the way of decor; maybe ingredients for those recipes I only make once a year. I notice that I need to bake far less in the way of cookies now that a) the grown children don't eat like they used to and b) their partners bake or in the case of Middle Son, he's a better baker than I am and really enjoys trying different recipes.
Something that I noticed in a sale flyer is, of all things, an Advent calendar for dogs. Hand-decorated cookies made with human grade ingredients. 24 beautifully crafted cookies in festive shapes such as snowflakes and reindeer, each sealed to preserve freshness. I wonder if there's one for cats. In any case Miss Kitty won't be getting one :)
I hope you are having a good week. Thank you for coming by, GM
I wear dresses in summer with sandals, no hose. Come cool weather, I might wear a long dress with knee high socks or maybe leggings, but hose, ugh. Although most men seem to like the look of hose on women.
ReplyDeleteI bake very little at the holidays these days. My family are not big into sweets and the ones that are bake their own. So I might make mincemeat tarts, apple pie, and maybe one or two batches of cookies. So sad, because I love to bake! But we old folks don't need the calories.
Advent calendars for dogs! Whatever next?
