This made me laugh

I hope it gives you some chuckles as well, because that’s all I’ve got tonight (in the interest of achieving an early bedtime).

Nourishing cleanse day #5

Now that it’s mid-November, I’m feeling the reality of short days and chilly weather.

Which is why there’s something incredibly delicious about finding a semi-sheltered spot on a sunny day and really soaking up some rays.

I indulged in this treat two times today, feeling pretty much like a cat enjoying its patch of sun.

Our new neighborhood

The house across the street

We’re liking our temporary new neighborhood a lot.

It can’t compare with the Village in terms of quiet and nature, but hasn’t been that difficult of an adjustment.

There are lots of trees and many front yards are filed with flowers. I was a little sad at leaving my garden behind, so I ended up bringing two of the “deer-chomped” lantana plants with me. I figured they could do with some TLC in a gentler environment, plus I can putter around with them during the weeks that I have to stick close to home.

Well, as it turns out, there’s a huge bush of the exact same lantana plant just up the street from us! Very encouraging.

What my lantana plant may become someday

And finally, there’s a neighborhood cat who’s completely at home on the back deck. It comes pretty much every day and makes itself comfortable, even trying to come inside at one point (which we firmly discouraged).

I really, really needed this tonight!

I made the mistake of reading some political stuff on Facebook and was feeling really down. I mean, it’s all just such a mess.

But then I saw this. Whoever and wherever you are, Chad Baker, THANK you! 😂
