A FEW WINDOWS CLEANED TODAY AND STILL DEALING WITH RADIATION SIDE EFFECTS

Started our day under a heavy cloud cover and ended it with bright clear blue sunny skies.  Truly a beautiful time of year here but Autumn is running late this year.  Usually by this time bush lines are erupting in fiery colors and Autumn's golden glow is upon the land.  We are still very green with only selected splashes of color here and there.

Nice relaxing Jeep ride this morning and we even managed another walk along the way.  I detected a nice Autumn smell in the air.  Can't really describe or explain the smell but I've often noticed it this time of year and it always takes my mind back to when I was a young boy in my early school days.

I REALLY LIKE THIS HEDGE

Home again around 10:30 I felt a surge of energy coming on so quickly grabbed a bottle of glass cleaner, a step ladder and some paper towels.  It was time to clean a few windows and a few windows I did clean.  We are actually able to see outside once again.

BEING A DEAD END ROAD WE'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A VEHICLE WHILE WALKING HERE

Over the years I have written different times about introverts and extroverts and made it quite clear which side of the fence I am on.  I think had I not written about it readers would still have known which side I was on simply by my writings.  No doubt about it, I am an introvert and deeply so I might add.  And I'm quite content about it too.  Yes I do feel guilty sometimes at not being more outgoing and friendly but it's what makes me....me.  And having looked around at things all these years I do much prefer my side of the fence.  What spurred me to think about this whole introvert and extrovert thing again this afternoon was a well written post by my good friend Jim Hagarty.  He sums it well in his October 6th post Inward and Outward.

I FOUND MANY LITTLE FACES HERE IN THIS PATCH OF BULL RUSHES

I am still having quite a time dealing with the side effects of my prostate cancer radiation treatment a couple weeks ago.  I am constantly and uncomfortably on the run to the washroom all day and at night up to four, five, and six times.  My last of five treatments was two

weeks ago and I've read that this particular side effect I have could last for a couple months until my collaterally damaged bladder heals.  Guess I just have to be patient and not let my mind focus on the possibility of this condition lasting forever.  Thanks to readers who have emailed some suggestions.  

NOW THAT THE BEAN HARVEST IS OVER I BET THIS FARMER IS GOING TO START OFF HIS MONDAY MORNING BY PLOWING THIS FIELD 

APPLES ARE ABOUT READY TO BE PICKED

For supper tonight we had turkey with all the fixins and what a nice treat that was.  Mashed potatoes, gravy and dressing, etc.  Mashed potatoes and gravy with just about anything anything works for me every time.  Last month Kelly surprised me with my all time favorite seafood platter....fish sticks.  That Gal sure knows how to make me happy:))

Aside from an appointment in Clinton with my Urologist Doctor this coming Tuesday next week looks pretty quiet.  With no Motorhome to load up this year things are pretty subdued around here.  A year ago today we were in Spencerport New York at Kelly's Mom's house on the last leg of our return journey from Eastern Canada.  We were sure glad to get home after that trip.  Well, if the truth be known, we're always glad to get home no matter where we've been even if we've only been gone a couple hours.  Yep, there's no place like home Toto. 

JUST IN CASE YOUR LOOKING DOWN JUDY....THIS ONE'S FOR YOU

If by chance you missed my Saturday post I was able to finally publish it earlier today so if you scroll to the bottom of my blog just look for the word 'Older' and click that.  It will take you right back to my Saturday post...…………..

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A man and an ostrich walk into a restaurant. The waitress asks, "What will it be?"  The man replied "a burger and a coke."  "And you?" "I'll have the same," the ostrich replies. They finish their meal and pay. "That will be $4.50," The man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact amount. They do this every day till Friday. "The usual?" she asked. "No, today is Friday. I'll have steak and a coke."  "Me too." says the ostrich. They finish and pay. "That will be $10.95"The man reached in and pulls out the exact amount again just like all week. The waitress was dumb-founded. "How is it that you always have the exact amount?"  "Well," says the man. "I was cleaning my attic and I found a dusty old lamp. I rubbed it and a genie appeared." Wow!" said the waitress. "What did you wish for?"  "I asked that when I needed to pay for something, the exact amount would appear in my pocket." "Amazing! Most people would ask for a million dollars. But what's with the ostrich?" "Well," said the man. "I also asked for a chick with long legs."
