Well, October has arrived. The days are getting shorter, the weather is cooling down and our gardens are also producing.
We have been thinking ahead. Our gardens are producing and much will get stored for our winter meals and other uses.
The holidays are ahead too.
This writer remembers when Buckles had out the Halloween items the first of October. Us school kids thought that was way too early then.
A few years ago we noticed Wal-Mart had out their Christmas items (including fake trees, decorations, and toys) the Sunday before Labor Day.
This past week the newspaper had a story about Neiman-Marcus. Their top
Christmas gifts are always news. This year it is two pairs of shoes - one pair for $695 and the other pair for $1295. Hope they sell a bunch.
Halloween now has lights, and other things in addition to costumes and related.
Thanksgiving has stayed fairly ordinary - too close to Christmas apparently.
As for our house, home, yard, and garden we still have some work needing doing. And it must be done between rains, nights and remaining weeks.
Whatever you need to get done, don’t wait until the last minute or freezeup or first snow or whatever.
Back inside the house be sure to water your house plants.
Until next week.
