Of Cranberry/Nut Bread, & gathering leaves, & evenings...

Feels like a 'Cranberry Nut Bread' kind of a day. :-)

I know it's the season for raking leaves. And I know it's the season for gathering them, into piles at the curb. And I know it's the season for the City Public Works Dept. to pick them up. But why do they seem to *have to* begin the use of this very noisy equipment, by our bedroom window, early in the morning?!? -grin-

But it's OK with me, because the mornings are brighter, earlier. :-)


*Apologies* to those who like to keep snuggled down under the covers, early in the morning. My husband included. But! He also gets a perk out of getting up later than I do. I come down and turn on some heat. So by the time he comes down, it's warmer than when I first did.

I will not turn on heat upstairs yet!!!! And I turn heat down, downstairs before bed too!!! And use the sun {as much as possible}, to warm the area of our house where we do our living, during the time we are up. %^*&$%#^&@ to OPEC!!! Even though we heat with natural gas.
