Sunnyday, December 4, 2016

Good morning. Mark and Lew were up by 430 organizing for their trip to the Ocala forest, just 20 minutes away. Mz Beez and I got up then too, watch the news while I drink a soda and then we went back to bed! It was a gorgeous start to the day for the fellows at about 60°F. 

 

Round two of our morning included fried eggs with the front door open. Leaves are steadily falling from our sycamore tree now and lie littered on the lawn. (Years ago, we would rake and bag them. But now, our lawn man mulches the leaves as he mows and our lawn is better for it!) Chores ✅ ... it's hot tub time. 👍🏻

 

But mom! We're waiting for Sammy to walk by! 

Mark and Lew arrived home at 11 o'clock having seen a couple of bears and a doe. He started a pork butt roast on the barbecue for tonight's dinner and took a nap. 

Today's project was sorting out the craft room and packaging donations for the Humane Society's store. Randy stopped in about 1230 after having dropped Dawn off at work. He is busy putting lights on the Christmas tree later today, I think. Yesterday, he set the tree up and fluffed it but apparently Dawn did not notice when she came home from work. Ha ha! "Poor Randy" as mom would say. 😂

At happy hour, we sat on the back patio in 82° and enjoyed our wine. Mark won the ring toss contest with eight out of 20! Drat! My best was 5/20. Mark wondered how Bob is doing with his ring toss in the frigid cold. 😬

 

Glorious fall colors 🍁 from our Sycamore! 😁 

Marky's "experimental" dry rub pork roast on the BBQ was very good!

 

Yummy pulled pork leftovers for tomorrow! (Maybe Dawn will read this and want some? 

Donations bagged ... dishwasher on ... it's time to watch Designated Survivor!
