Beaver:

Just updated weather and there is a frost warning! The outdoor temp is dropping like a rock and indoors--- there will be a fire in the stove tonight!

Gorgeous Indian Summer Day! I found a useful small bookcase at a yard sale but need to paint it so I managed to triage the needful items - for tomorrow. Threw and trimmed pots. Would have liked to have done more but energy quit. Tomorrow.

I would have gotten more done but my middle finger/left curled up at 11 am and refused to uncurl. Cannot pot without that finger operative to I phoned my 92 year old friend in PA and had a great catch up. She had just come in with a bunch of Phlox so I immediately knew she is still mobile! My only friend of almost 60 years!! Not having moved in about 70 years, she has a few left, some of the next generation ( now in their 70s), and the one after that! There is a great deal to be said for not moving. I am not sure about her clutter!

This bookcase will fill a real need so tomorrow I can de-clutter another piece of the BR. Painted to match the wall, it will blend right in. I need two more pieces of furniture in specific sizes so I am checking the Thrift Warehouse every few days. Nesting in for winter!

We also had torrential downpours yesterday and winds. The electric went off for about 90 minutes mid day.
