I can just see everyone hauling out their Hallowe'en gear to try and get the season underway. We're all being very "Martha", thanks to your encouragement!

I looked at the pansies today, but they did not have the colours I wanted. Have you ever seen black ones? They do exist, really, I'm not making it up! And like the purple, they are quite striking! Anyway, I was out running errands by 7:30, after I dropped my boys off at school. To help alleviate overcrowding, they now have classes at the school that run before and after regular school times. So Mon, Wed, and Fri my guys take a computer class that starts at 7:30. They love it, can you imagine teens being excited about starting school early? My sisters are stunned!

Anyway, the nursery that might have the black pansies wasn't open yet...I will go back later.

That is very funny about the snow. Do you know, I say the same thing to my DH as your DH says to you: "You've never shoveled snow!" Actually, he has, but only once or twice. Not the same as a whole season of it! I actually like doing it, because, after the work is done, I can go sledding! Yippee!

All in good time...first, Hallowe'en!

have a good one!

Carolyn!
