Whew! I made it!

Remember what I said before about me seeing them get the leaves while I was on my way home?  I got home and went back outside to rake the leaves to the curb so that I could catch them before they got there.  Well I did manage to rake the leaves to the curb but they didn't come and get them so I thought that maybe I missed them.  I saw the other leaves raked to the curb across the street so I thought to myself that I couldn't have missed them - could I?  I know I saw them getting the leaves and even the mailman told me that they were getting the leaves.  Oh well - there wasn't anything I could do about it right now.  But I'm happy to say that a few days later they did indeed come and get the leaves.  I would have captured a picture of it to post but I was too slow!  Oh well - maybe next time.

Christmas Lights?

I must confess that I'm one of the ones guilty of not having Christmas lights (or any other kind of Christmas decoration) on the windows or outside of the house.  On my last errand to the store I noticed that there are a lot of others who don't have them as well.

Personally I want to change this even if it only means having a wreath or something smaller.  I think people get a kick out of seeing Christmas decorations.  It may put them in the holiday mood or even brighten up their spirits.

I saw that someone had a great big giant Santa on their lawn and I have seen a few windows with the simplest of decorations.  I like that there is a variety and that not everyone has the same amount of decorations.  Variety is good!

Somebody is in a really good mood

as they whistle while walking down the street.  It's kind of dark right now and I really can't see who it is but I can definitely hear them.  Usually I will hear the mailman whistling while he is delivering the mail but the mail has already come so this could be somebody else.  But whoever they are they are certainly in a good mood!
