but sometimes that is just how it has to be!

As I find myself in the middle of several projects and often frustrated because of the seeming “mess” around me I get reminded that it is the process not always the end result that is the most important.

In the midst of yard clean up now being done in less frequent dry weather patches, the frustrations may be the dogs, the mud and why am I stuffing leaves into a long skinny plastic tube that keeps splittingbut that is also the joy to be outside with the dogs, making a 3 legged spider that needs to be put outside the fence so dogs don’t think I have created NEW TOYS for them and alas doing a stir fry on the front yard fire pit with the pruned branches.

Finally a dry day of about 10oC to finish some of the yard work. Lawnmower used to gather leaves, although little lawn left with all areas dug by dogs.  Three legged spider...tedious stuffing of bags and moving so dogs would not think were toys! Sunday night end of yard clean up grilled pork chops and veggies.

Halloween…well we don’t get many kids and I may be away but still it is the journey. The granddaughter was over last night ( we do yoga on Tuesdays & it is getting better but 50’s year old body is not quite as flexible as the teenage one ) and the chore is putting together the Halloween costume. She working on the costume to look like Tinkerbell not milkmaid or Oktoberfest  bar maid ….I got  a few add ons from the dollar store but her uncle spent way too much at Micheals. His idea I think is wood nymph! I have to sew on all the additions! Here are some of the Halloween items to add to costume or outside.

Ah reminders.... IT IS THE JOURNEY!
