Earlier this afternoon I caught site of the first Junco of
the season. This little slate-grey and
white bird usually arrives from the Arctic to these areas just ahead of winter
weather. (The photo above is borrowed from Google - no snow yet out my window!) A small flock of them were industriously pecking away on the front
lawn. So even though this November still
sees us enjoying warmish temperatures, the white stuff is probably not too far
away. This afternoon is very dreary and windy – the sky is so
heavily overcast I would expect snow, except that the temperature is hovering
around 13 degrees Celsius!
I am glad to report that my eye seems to have settled back
to normal, although I must be religious now with the nightly regime of ointment
just before bed. And I find when I wake
during the night for that trip to the bathroom, I’m also putting in some drops
to keep my eye from getting too dry.
Another follow up appointment with the eye doctor is scheduled for
Tuesday so I’m hopeful for a good report.
Tomorrow will be back to work after a few days break – no more
planned time off now until early December.
It felt so good to not be up so early in the morning. Pam has been busy writing up a storm for her
class room assignments. As mentioned
earlier we’ve decided to base our next Paul and Dorothy instalment on the
framework of what her assignment has been.
We are anxious though to concentrate solely on the new adventure, but I
have been unable to sit still and have drafted roughly five chapters and find I
could just keep writing, but I must restrain myself and wait for Pam!
Hopefully this week our planned meeting will not be
disrupted and we can outline some more for this story – tentatively entitled “Murder
Most Conventional”. And even if winter
weather decides to make an appearance on Thursday, I’m ready because that other
harbinger of winter – snow tires – were installed last week.
Cheers!
Liz
