Arrangements made.....

I had to make some phone calls to arrange for Nitty in case she gets sick or dies and I need to get her to the vet.  She can't do stairs and even the ramp is not something she will do any more.  I called the vet and they said there was nothing they could do. I even stated that I can't be the only person that's run into this predicament but then again maybe I am.  So, I called the local moving company.  I know, it sounds strange but there is really no one else around here strong enough to lift her.  Who do you call?  I can't call 911 for my dog, unfortunately.  I talked to the owner who happens to live just a few blocks away from me and he said not to worry and to give him a call when necessary.  So, I feel better but it left me tearful most of the day.  It was a beautiful day and I spent most of it outside with Nitty.  I brushed her and we sat outside letting the wind blow the leaves all around us.  Today was better and again I spent time with her outside.  She's eating and drinking fine but I know it is just a matter of time.....how much time, I don't know, so I want to spend as much time with her as possible.  She hates to have her picture taken too! LOL!  I zoomed in on this one otherwise she would have turned her head! 

  It's been absolutely gorgeous here....the prettiest fall I can remember........usually it stays too hot for too long and we have fire danger but this year is perfect!  I think the colors are at peak right now.....or close. 

The wind has picked up the last few days, as Mother Nature is cleaning house and blowing the leaves around.  These yellow ones are from my Rose of Sharon...........

I sat in my Adirondack chair and leaned back and looked skyward.............so beautiful..........that's a big old oak tree over my head

We are supposed to get storms tomorrow for Halloween and all day long and into Thursday so that may take care of the 'peak' color and lots of the leaves.........we'll see.

Today the city came and re dug out my culvert!  So wonderful as it was plugged up and there was gravel that traveled down from somewhere and landed in my driveway.  Amy tried to shovel it off this past summer when she was here but gravel is heavy!  She did good though, bless her heart.

He did a wonderful job and now it should be clear sailing when the rains come! 

I didn't call them or anything.....he said he noticed it.....how sweet is that?  Here's the machine that made it all possible..............I think the good Lord whispered in that man's ear!  Thank you!

This is what's for supper......ham and bean soup!  With some Iowa Corn Bread to go with it!  It should be a cozy night with the storms moving in....it's already starting to cloud over...........

Happy Trails!!!
