For the second time in a month, the server I use for my web page wouldn't connect to my blog. I may move it to the web page if this continues. It is a little more complicated to do it that way.
I'm enjoying the warm, overcast weather and doing a lot of reading. I subscribe to about 20 magazines and they keep me busy along with my books. I used to give the magazines I'd read to a neighbor, but she moved back to Wisconsin. I did find out I can donate them to Half-Price Books to be redistributed. They charge $1 for most magazines, but that is probably not enough for their staff to do all the stocking and straightening work that goes with magazines. If you don't want the mess of so many subscriptions and live near a store, that might be an option. Today is set aside for finishing up my unread magazines then a trip to donate them. I doubt I'll finish today, however.
I also have a lot of stuff I want to make/finish in my craft room. I discovered I have so many Christmas ideas in Pinterest that it would take me almost seven years to do them all if I did one a day. It would take even longer for the Halloween stuff. Maybe I need to spend more time doing instead of pinning! I did make one of the folded Christmas trees out of a Reader's Digest. I only need to put a little green paint on the edges and maybe decorate is a little. I'm more about the tree than the decorations. I had to put my soda bottle witch on hold before Halloween because I needed kitty litter (fill to keep the bottle from falling over) and a dowel to hold the head on. I will enjoy her next year, perhaps. I know after Christmas I'll have cold days to sit inside and craft, so it will get done along with the 5,000 pins I really want to do (right).
The flowers around the edge of the back terrace are still blooming. I love Texas because you can have flowers until Thanksgiving most years and sometimes we even have roses until Christmas. A tenant at the airport who moved to Texas in winter time told me that he knew summers here could be brutal but you don't have to shovel heat. I guess we will do winters in Texas and travel north in the summer.
Well, off to the magazines!
