What happened? Got at least ten spam comments on my folder. Good thing Akismet is always there. Thank you WordPress.
I like it that some bloggers who don’t subscribe to my blog are reading my old posts. I guess most of my older ones are way, way better than those I am posting nowadays. They have more “meat” because I was sharing my plight as a cancer patient and survivor. When I think of those days and months that I was indisposed, I often wondered how I survived them – frequent lab tests, hospital visits every three weeks and chemotherapy which saps one’s strength. But God is good. He let me have that faith that I get well in the process. When you pray fervently for your heart’s desires, your prayers are answered in one way or another.
I had an hour of gardening so early this morning. The weather was just fine with an early promise of a lovely day. Looking for more pots where I could transfer my Impatiens plants. It is so nice to see new shoots of Zinnia once again.
I am reading some books about winter and Christmas but I haven’t done any Christmas decoration yet. Years back, we used to put up decor come November 1. I don’t know why, I don’t feel so much inclined to do it this early. Maybe I am getting really old, no longer excited to put up Christmas decorations. I have lots of TBR books that I want to finish before the end of the year.
October is about to close, have a lovely and blessed November.
If you are not already putting up your Christmas decorations, then that is a surprise, Arlene. Perhaps like me, you are beginning to get less excited about Christmas? Somehow, I doubt that. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I am so lazy nowadays Pete. It is getting harder to take care of mom. She is so “makulit”. I already bought all my Christmas gifts though. Even those streets who used to decorate early are so quiet. Hard times?

I check spam daily. Sometimes genuine follower comments end up there.

I have begun to bring out my Christmas tree. I like to have it out from November through December but I put up my Christmas decorations in December.
Hope you have a good day

Today is Halloween in the US. It is raining heavily and is getting cold. We don’t allow ourselves to decorate for Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November). I’m ready for it then.

It rains here too at night but no that heavy. It is getting cold at night. November is the start of the best months here.
