It's been cold and rainy here the last couple of days. Today's high temp was 45 degrees. We're in for a cold, wet week ahead. I sure am glad I bought the electric blanket, it just makes it difficult to get out of bed in the mornings when it is so cold.
The landscape crews swept up all the leaves in the apartment complex today with their blowers. Leaves were flying everywhere. I had fun watching them. Every now and then, a gust of wind would pick up the pile they'd just made and blow the leaves right back at them as if it were a snowball fight. If I'd had a video camera, it would make hilarious footage for America's Funniest Home videos. It took 4 truck loads to haul all the leaves away and the trees still aren't through dropping leaves. Should make someone a wonderful compost pile!
I drove around the neighborhood last night to look at all the Christmas decorations. Lots of people decorated this year. One house in particular had the gawdiest decorations. Really tacky nativity scene along with electric Santa and reindeer in floodlights and a huge flashing neon type sign that flashed "JESUS!" on and off. Thought I was in redneck country...
Speaking of the holidays, those of you with a similarly warped sense of humor will enjoy this snow globe. Go ahead and give the snow globe a shake, but also let it run a bit afterwards so you can see the full animation story.
