Had a lovely day here in Minnesota...It was in the 60's ....so got out in the yard and picked up leaves, and put our gardens to bed for the winter, and two trips to the yard recycle....It was a joy to be out!!  Today hope to do a little shopping .....I want a new set of sheets, and a stop at Barnes and Noble.....and then go to our Park Reserve and walk for a bit.....Got to enjoy these nice days! What are you doing today?

Hugs, Ruth

Hi Ruth,  love the thread!  Glad someone is around....   ;O)

We had similar days.   We did yard work to put it to bed for the winter,, dh raked the leaves,, (I can't ), and I put them all in the paper yard bags.  Carted that all to our town's yard recycle center and dumped them... then we changed and went to the kitchen place to get something for the kickplates , then out to lunch.  After that drove into the city , stopped at the English Gardens adn took a lovely walk viewing the foliage and the river and small waterfalls and then rode right into the old part of the city and sat in our fav cafe and people watched...  I had hot chocolate (it's cold here).     AFter a bit of window shopping we came on home , had dinner and here I am,,, 

So what did you get at the bookstore?????

I usually don't buy books...I get them from the library....but this one is for a book club and I was #229 on the waiting list from the library...and only 4 copies of the book....about 15 more on order....but that won't help!!!  Oh the book I bought was Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf.  Hope it is good!  Hugs, Ruth

Hi Ruth...sounds like you had a really nice day.

All I've done today is a load of laundry, and played around on FB. My dgd was here for awhile and that was nice to have her spend time with me....just the two of us.

Our temps reached 66 and it's been pretty breezy. Really am loving these cooler days...

Suzan, strolling though the English Garden sounds wonderful. I have a very pretty picture of it in my mind......People watching is always a nice way  to spend time.

Now I have a song in my head about an English Garden....it's going to drive me nuts until I figure it out....might have to Google....LOL
