It feels like fall! Absolutely gorgeous weekend....lots of sun, cool temps, dry....perfect. More of the same forecasted this week. Over the weekend I worked on killing weeds and pesky vines. Going to have my enormous arborvitae on each side of the garage pulled out this week....they are so overgrown and very dry inside. I have 2 huge pots of sturdy snake plants to put in their place. There is so much stuff I'd like to do to increase the curb appeal of the front of my house, but I will have to do what I can and afford little by little. The 2 Sago palms out front are infested with insect scale (for the 3rd time). Insect scale on Sagos is a real problem in Florida. I swore the last time I clipped them (makes a mess and you get pinched by lots of spiky fronds) would be the last. I just don't know what to put in their place...flower beds, other small palms? What to do, what to do.
After church yesterday I went to Sam's Club with Joe, Linda and Elizabeth. I finally picked out frames for glasses and purchased contact lens from a new prescription. I now need bifocals, ugh. Pretty soon I'll need a hearing aid. :) Took the dogs for a walk in the afternoon. Linda made eggplant parmigiana and chicken for dinner. Yum. Good weekend.
Steelers will run over Baltimore tonight on Monday Night Football.

Hi Sue,
It sounds like you are doing well. Even though the gardening pests are a chore at least it is a chance to get outside and focus on something other than cancer. I know for us, the fall outside work has really helped us to focus on something other than Gary's volatile job situation! The fresh air and sunshine are so good for our spirits! Speaking of sunshine, do you know that we in Colorado get more sunshine per year than you all do in the "sunshine state" in Florida! Colorado is surprisingly dry and sunny, contrary to many people's stereo typical view of blizzards (highly unusual for the Front Range) and bad weather. Mostly, we enjoy sunny weather year round. During our ten winters in Colorado we’ve been able to hike, bike, and do many outdoor activities all winter long (except last winter during the TWO blizzards!). When it snows the sun works to melt the snow by the following day so we never have the grey slushy weather that we were so accustomed to in PA.
Anyway, I’m rambling too much for a blog so I better go for now. It’s so good to hear the joy in your voice.
Many blessings
Rachel and family
