Chitchat coffee menu5/5/2023 Who would you choose? How I Am Feeling This Morning Some local choices on the radio show were: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Paul Rudd, The Rock, Ryan Reynolds, Heidi Klum (I guess she does big Halloween parties?), and Kelly Clarkson. My choices: Ryan Reynolds (I just think his house would be fun!), Adam Sandler (again, somehow I think his house would be a fun Halloween one), and one of the Kardashian people (I’ve never seen their shows but I could use a make-over and wonder if they’d be handing out beauty product goody bags? I’ve been feeling the need for a make-over.) My radio announcers this morning were asking the question: If you could go trick or treating at 3 celebrity houses, who would you choose? So I’ve been thinking on that. I’ve been so serious in this category lately, how about a little fun and silliness? And the oak tree leaves are finally starting to change a bit more. Somehow, the fallen leaves are now covering the yard. I was watching the birds (and squirrels) at my bird feeders taking advantage of this beautiful morning. ![]() Supposed to be in the lows 60’s next week. A predicted high of 70 today! Highs in the upper 70’s all week until Friday when we have a 50% chance of some much needed rain. It’s going to be a warm one for our trick-or-treaters tonight. This morning, I’ve already ran to the grocery store and now I’m taking a moment to join in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for the Happy Homemaker Monday weekly link up. Happy Halloween! It’s always a bit odd when Halloween falls on a Monday isn’t it? My thoughts are certainly with the teachers for today and the rest of this week. I’m taking a moment to breathe between my holidays? Care to join me? And I promise I’ll look the other way if you happen to have a peppermint mocha in your coffee cup. Maybe it’s our unseasonably warm weather or perhaps I’ve become a cranky old lady (possibly both) but it seems the specialness of it all fades when we rush it along. Whatever happened to the anticipation? I don’t want a peppermint mocha on November 3rd, I want to look forward to enjoying one properly after Thanksgiving. Whatever happened to the waiting? Isn’t the waiting part of what makes things special? I know some special city holiday lighting things need to happen (I guess) before Thanksgiving to fit them in on our calendars but personally, I miss the excitement of the waiting. I read where the holiday drinks at Starbucks come out tomorrow.Īll this, Christmas time is starting as soon as Halloween ends but we’ll give Thanksgiving 2 days doesn’t make sense to me. I’m certainly not one for denying someone their joy if they want to put their Christmas tree up today (or leave it up year-round) but that’s not me. Seems like the time between holidays gets squished closer and closer together each year. Catch my breath before the “big” holidays get going in full swing. ![]() However, I like to take the first week of November and simply pause. I know a lot of you have jumped forward to planning Thanksgiving and Christmas. ![]() Good weather for a quick hike in the woods at a local nature park. Breezier today than yesterday when these photos happened. Our November is starting off with some beautiful fall weather.
