Unusual October
By
This is, indeed, a most unusual October. October in Boston is supposed to have the most sunny days of all the months of the year. After watching the Patriots’ game yesterday, I thought we had jumped ahead to December or January. On our way home from Cape Cod last weekend, we did see some pretty leaves. The only things we missed were some red maples. Most of the foliage was in shades of yellow. Read more

Turning Leaves
By
Hubby and I have seen quite a few changes in the leaves, usually in the low areas. The burning bushes at the Stop & Shop in North Quincy are beginning to turn color. We have seen, on the TV weather reports, that Norwood has already been in the low 30s overnight so I am sure the trees in that area are turning colors. The other day, on Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the temperature was 22 degrees and it was snowing. Last week, Hubby went all around the house, took out the fans and the vented screens, and put down the windows. Read more

Garden Party
By
Even though Hubby has been retired from the Boston Public Schools for more than 12 years, he is still in a school frame of mind. At this time of year, he must buy pens, pencils, notebooks, and even school glue. These products are usually on sale at great discounts at this time of year so he does make some wise purchases. We will probably end up giving the supplies to the kids and the grandkids but that will make him happy, also. Last week, he even bought pages of stickers for the World’s Greatest Grandchildren, Brendan and Erin. Read more
