I Love Orange

 

The pumpkins at the grocery store make me happy.

The glass pumpkin on the end table glows orange when the sun coming in the window catches it. 

I decorated this week.

There are still a few flowers in the garden for my kitchen table bouquets. 

Tom and his twin sister Jan celebrated their 82nd birthdays this week. We all went out to dinner on Sunday and then on Wednesday, Oct 4th, his real birthday, Tom went to the Sounders soccer match with daughter Jill.

This photo was from an earlier game this summer when it was warmer, but it was a pleasant autumn evening and our team won! We are off to the playoffs. I watched from home.

Monday I had an MRI to see what we could see. The results are ambiguous, my term, but I sent a message to my spine/pain doc asking for an in person appointment. I have a phone appointment scheduled for next week. I don't think that's enough. Walking is getting harder and harder. 

Thankfully Tom is still in good shape, as long as he doesn't over do it. Today we went to breakfast and then grocery shopping and then he rested up so he could go back out this afternoon to work on the job he started yesterday, cleaning out this perennial bed. 

It's a beautiful bright blue sky day, slowly warming up until I see that it has reached 79 degrees at 4:00. Wow!

Tom's bonsai maple is going orange. The brugmansia has put on another set of blooms. 

There will be rain next week, but right now it's about perfect!
