WILD FIRES
Photo from my morning email read
5 Things from CNN. These are embers being blown by the gusty wind in the California fires. Prays for Cali!
Halloween
At 5am it is currently a very rainy 45 degrees here.
The rain will stop by the time I arrive to work.
Yet the temperature will continue to drop until tomorrow
morning when it will arrive at the not so pleasant temp of 27 degrees.
It’s looking like a very wicked Halloween.
👻🎃💀EEK

Polite Parking?
This guy parked next to me while I was at the doctors office. He was sitting in his parked truck when I came out. So right in front of him I took a picture. No wonder why his truck is messed up. Rude!

The Simple Things of Fall
The farmers fields are cleared
The barns are filled to the rafters with drying tobacco
The trees are showing their fall colors
And the crisp autumn breeze carries leaves like confetti
I love the simple things of Fall

Old Hickory
We had dinner at Old Hickory BBQ tonight.
I love the smoked chicken!
I had never been inside of this restaurant before
and fell in love with the maps on the wall.
I put my pin in my home town of Phoenix, Arizona.
Lots of people from all over the world have been to
this mom and pop bbq spot. It’s really great.

Welcome Monday
Before my alarm went off I heard thunder.
Growing up in Phoenix caused me to have a love affair with rain. I guess what you don’t have enough of you automatically crave. There was an olive tree in the front yard of one of the houses I grew up in. I remember seeing the silhouette of that tree on my bedroom window when lightning flashed.
It didn’t scare me, as a three or four year old I know that nature was fascinating.
This morning as lay in bed counting the seconds between the lightning and the thunder, I peeked at the weather app on my phone. A storm is coming.
Moving to the Midwest from the Southwest was a huge life change for me in many ways, weather was one change I truly love. And even though rain is common here, there has not been much of it in months. So before my alarm went off, I grabbed my Fitbit and headed for living room. I wanted to see the rain and the wind out the picture window. As I peddle away here in the dark, I have a very good seat for the light show outside. The lightning, the wind, the thunder and rain. Getting up at 5am gives me time to think, time fore just me, no one else exists at 5am in my world. The storm will keep me riveted to the early morning picture show out my window through sunrise, and I’ll bank some quality peddling as well.
This is a good start to a new week. Happy Monday ♥️☔️

SIMPLE CRAFTSMANSHIP
In this little cottage I’m living in, there are so many old fashioned things. I find them interesting and charming. One of my favorite things is the wooden toilet paper spindle. I had never seen a wooden one before moving into this little abode. Yes metal or plastic, but to me, wood means craftsmanship. I love this little bit of craftsmanship in my little cottage!

Saturday Afternoon
It’s been a 6 day work week and as I drive home it was 75 degrees and perfectly beautiful outside.
I drove with the windows down and the stereo turned way up. With my hand out the window I was singing away. Before the road transitioned into two lanes an ambulance screamed past me. I didn’t think much of it, said a little prayer for those involved and I kept on singing.
Shortly after I passed the grade school the sparse traffic cane to a stand still. I found that screaming ambulance, a fire truck, several police cars and another ambulance. The wreck must have been a bad one. Everyone at the intersection at the top of the hill looked shocked and forlorn. I said another prayer. The officers had the line of traffic head south rather than eastward. And I followed a road less traveled. I always wondered about the little roads just off the main drag.
As I drove down this country road I fell in love with it. Farmed hills, sweeping yards, darling houses.
In a couple spots the trees hung over the road making a canopy. When I came to a stop sign I turned back to my original direction. Down that path there was a large old farmhouse surrounded by trees. The house had large trees in the front and along the drive. And on this beautiful day, the toilet paper that decorated those trees in abundance was some of the most beautiful streamers waving in the breeze that I have ever seen.
I’m grateful for so much. I’m blessed I’m so many ways, blessed with so much. The drive home made me grateful, yet again for all I have.

Gift For Me
When you pay for gifts for yourself that you 
I should send myself flowers to say I’m sorry.
Just Love
(Total sarcasm, mumble mumble grumble sniffle)

INFO YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T NEED
Did you know...
Moose can swim and dive down about 20 feet,
in order to get water vegetation to munch on.
That said...
The Moose is indeed prey to the Orca Whale population.

Humanity
I saw the most incredible display of humanity on the sky train. A six foot five man suffering from drug abuse and\or mental health issues was being very aggressive on the bus with erratic movements, cursing, shouting, etc. While everyone was scared, this one seventy year old woman reached out her hand, tightly gripping his hand until he calmed down, sat down silently, with eventual tears in his eyes. I spoke to the woman after this incident and she simply said, "I'm a mother and he needed someone to touch." And she started to cry. Don't fear or judge the stranger on the bus: life does not provide equal welfare for all its residents.

Desert 🌵
Having breakfast in Cave Creek Arizona.
Local Johny’s is a home town, desert dweller local eatery.
The food is as great as the service, cutting edge and sassy.
We ordered the Flat Tire breakfast burrito and breakfast Tacos.
Yummy!!!
And I shared the unisex bathroom with a local cyclist!
Happy Tuesday from Arizona! 🌵🌮♥️
