~leaves or no leaves~

I looked out side..and saw what happened to those beautiful

golden trees that were over there across the street.. I looked

and now the ground is gold..the trees are bare..and all their

glory is laying underneath.. They were so pretty..and its just

amazing how much they add to a area..Over at the apartments

I had to look hard to see the trees over on that street by the

church.. Now..these beauties all around..there are quite a few

very nice ones in the yard here..2 huge ones on each side of

the garage..that one was gorgeous..it was so red..it almost

glowed..

When the leaves all drop and the weather changes so drastically
I think the stark bareness and darkness of the trees is such a

contrast to the whiteness of the snow..and it just all seems to go

together so well..all the seasons of the year.. I have lived down

south.. florida..texas for over 13 years..THAT was fun.. I made

good money there and I loved the fishing and the water,, I lived

outside Houston in Pasadena where all the oil refinery stink was..

wind was wrong you sure could tell it.. The winters there were

more cold..but mainly RAIN...and dull..wasnt cold cold but did

get cool enough for a coat...I got tired of the rain..and to look

out at Christmas and not see snow..when you are used to it..I

got to missing it really bad..

I can look out the window now..I dont have to contend with driving

in blizzards..or storms.. but when I could drive I did..It was just

something you had to do to go to work..daily thing..and you just

do them...I dont miss driving in bad weather..but I do miss not

having a vehicle if I did want to go somewhere.. And it would be

nice if I did need to go that I could have someone come and use

my vehicle..that I could get into easily like a van with a ramp.. I

would go..well if I had a ramp here on the house too.. I sure wish
I could get one made soon..I just am not having any luck.. I know

Donnie can build one..IF he can find the time..but I dont have the

money to pay for the wood.. But I sure do need one..

My list of "Sure do Need" keeps getting longer and longer..but I

think the first 2 on the list are the ramp and the freezer..well may

be a washing machine too..THAT sure would help alot..I cant wait

till I can get this place all straightened out.. I talked to a friend today

that agreed to come and help me move my bedroom around and

take stuff to the basement etc..maybe even check out this floor

under this carpet.. We have to go and get the rest of the stuff out

of storage too..that is a MUST..I dont want to pay for another 2

more weeks rent there.. I have to try to get this stuff I need to be

able to cook and eat at least.. I dont care if I cant go out..but I

sure am sick of opening cans..I would love to fire up my crockpot

and put on a nice pot of beans..or make a nice roast..but I cant

now...I am just not set up to do that yet.. I may splurge and make

some fries tho.. I just dont like having to eat in the kitchen.. I liked

eating in the bedroom in front of the telly lol...They did come and

take back the stove today..maybe now I can get my kitchen all

set up .. I hope so...

Hope you enjoyed the photos of the trees..tomorrow I will put a new

one of me of course..lol..as I always do lol...I sure am enjoying my

curtains..and you know..they match my lamps perfectly? I may have

to phone my sister and tell her so she can watch for some material

so I can make some pillows for the couch.. lol.. It will look nice in here.

I am SO ready for it to look like someone lives here lol.. Nitey Nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya..and thanks...

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
