Fall came in yesterday I think, with blustery winds and cold sweater weather. And I'm starting to think about turning the heat on for the chilly mornings, but my husband likes to wait until at least October. The cold really affects me these days, the joints feel stiff, etc. although I haven't been diagnosed with arthritis yet. Something about the middle years. Time to start hunting out the gloves and coats.
We're having our garage and window trim repainted as it was time. Found a painter doing work up the street, so we'll see what he and his team does.
K needs a bit of homework help, I find the History kind of interesting in spite of the fact that we all hate homework. Being an immigrant myself, I never studied Jacques Cartier (one of the first European explorers from France) and native history and it's a good thing to know about the country you live in. If I knew, I had forgotten that Canada was derived from the name the Iroquois gave the area around the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Montreal and Quebec.
Last year I became aware (during homework time) that water is not a renewable resource, and it evaporates into the air, comes down again as rain, goes into the earth, makes our food. So we do have to take care of our environment and all the pesticides we use, etc. Good stuff they're teaching the kids.
