It’s Cold And Wet, But…
Hello everyone on this cold and wet autumn day!🙂🍁🍂 Seems like it is always like that lately. And today is Friday 13th and of course you know what that means! It means it’s Friday 13th.😂😹 Just another day on the calendar.😀 Some people think it’s a terrible day. Like Monday. Or maybe worse.😳 It’s a day. A beautiful day if we want it to be.😄 For me, I want it to be a beautiful day.😁🌲 A special day. 🌼 A really good day. 🤸♂️🌻 It’s cloudy, rainy and cold. But the sun continues to shine anyway.😀😺🌞
Right now I am kind of laid up due to hurting myself last week. 🙁 The pain is extremely severe at times. So I can’t do much. 😥 Some days just walking around my little apartment is quite a task. So it’s raining outside and it’s kind of raining inside too. But the sun is still shining. 🌞😎 And it’s a beautiful day.🍁🍂 We can choose to make it a cloudy miserable day or we can choose to make it a sunny beautiful day. I choose sun and beautiful.😁😸🐿
Because of this extra pain lately it has really slowed me down a lot in everything.😕 Which is why I am slow getting my posts out lately as well. It takes me so long to do other things that it makes me slow at my writing too.😀✍ So for those that are wondering, that’s the reason. Hopefully I will get back to normal soon.🤔 But it might actually take a few months to really get back on my feet like I should be. Happens sometimes. It has happened before. But it’s still a beautiful day and the sun continues to shine. 😃🌞 Even though it’s raining outside. But above those clouds, the sun is shining brightly.
Speaking of rain. We have had a lot lately.😲🌧 More than normal. So everything is thoroughly soaked. The ground squishes when I walk on it. With all the rain last night I imagine that my forest path is under water in places again. Happens sometimes. No way to walk around it. Just have to go through it and get wet feet.😬😹 And with all this rain, the chipmunks borrowed some scraps of wood to build themselves a boat so they could come and get peanuts without getting wet!😂🐿⛵ Okay, that part is a joke. It’s always good to laugh.😂😹🤣
Hmm, the goldfinches are at the bird feeder eating sunflower seeds. Hopefully the neighbor doesn’t see that.🙄😂 He doesn’t like birds, as most of you probably remember from before.🤪 The chickadees are bouncing through the air to the feeder, picking up a seed, then back to the shrub to peck it open and eat their prize. They always seem to look so happy getting their little seed.😀 It doesn’t take a lot to make these little birds satisfied. Just what they need, that’s all. How different with us.🤔 We always want more and more.😂🙄
Well, guess that’s all for now. Didn’t really say much, just sort of rambled on.🤔🙂 Happens with me sometimes.😂😹 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
