the orchids are happy, and of course, that makes me happy…

had a great time with my grandson who came over to do some yard work for me… 

he mowed the grass, cleaned eavestroughs, put away outdoor furniture, treated weeds in the front flower bed, emptied and put away flower pots… such a relief to have his help…

while he was doing all that I got the potatoes, cauliflower, turnip and stuffing ready for tomorrow… we had lunch and a good visit…

after he left I worked on the Halloween goodies…

rocket lolly pops that look like ghosts;-)… have done about 120… haven’t quite decided whether to add black dots for eyes…

lately the ladybugs have been everywhere… the other day my youngest grandson counted 20 at the front door…

tonight one came to visit me… nice to have company throughout the day and evening, lol…
