The rumbling outside our house is not thunder but the sound of heavy duty construction trucks tearing up Jockey Street. It is now a dirt road for all practical purposes... It seems that the county took so long in repairing the road that now they have to tear it down, put a new base in and then pave a new road. It should be nice once it is completed but in the meantime, argh! There is no reason at all to get my car washed.
Thank heavens I have things going on to keep my mind off of the road. The rest of the month will be super busy for me! I have training of a new ward Relief Society presidency this Sunday, then we are giving training to the Bishoprics, Branch Presidencies and High Council on adoption services on the 2oth. We have the stake Preparedness Fair on the 22nd and then I am giving a big Herbal Remedies Workshop at the Glenville Hills Garden Club on the 24th. [I have an article appearing in the Nov/Dec issue of The Essential Herbal] Needless to say I have many piles in various degrees of preparation in my dining room for all I am preparing for.
And... the apples are ready for picking! ahhh, fresh apple pie and cinnamon ice cream. There is nothing like it in the fall. Wish you were here. I could use help making applesauce...
P.S. Got my first vodka today. No, I haven't taken up drinking. I am making the most wonderful Bergamot air freshener. You can make it too. Just email me for the recipe.
