Autumn's Delightful

Today was an overcast, typical late fall day. It was cooler than I expected it to be. Not ready for what looks like November yet. I went grocery shopping this morning. When I got home I played with Coco. It has been a restful day. I didn't accomplish very much. Every now and then I need a day like that. I got out some fall decorations, a Jack-O-Lantern which has a bulb inside it and doesn't require a candle, a wreath of fall colored leaves which I hung on the fireplace, and a wooden jack-o-lantern with a welcome sign which I hung on the front door. I also have a large bowl filled with apples and tiny pumpkins on the dining room table. I bought Halloween cards for my great niece and nephews which I'll send some time next week. I do love the fall season, but I prefer crisp days with the sun shining, not overcast days which threaten to rain.
Tomorrow I've promised myself that I will go hit a small bucket of golf balls at the driving range. First, I'll go to church where I'll be the lector for the mass. I'll stop for the Sunday papers afterward. I will change the sheets and put the down comforter back on the bed. After lunch I'll go out to the driving range. When I return home I'll catch up on some laundry. The sewing room needs attention, but I'll get to that some day next week. When that's accomplished, I'll start the bindings for the 2 finished quilts. My Monday and Tuesday are full on my calendar, Wednesday morning is planned with a ? mark. Thursday and Friday will be free. On Friday night, we play Pinchle again. Hopefully, G. will join us this time. Sometime in the next few weeks I have to read "Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton. We plan to discuss this book when we get together in November, when we visit a former colleague who lives in DE. I've seen and enjoyed the movie. I'm sure I'll enjoy the book as well. That's all for now, here's hoping for more fun filled days ahead.
