Here are a few pictures of the backyard and how full of leaves it gets. It is chilly today and I am actually wearing jeans and a 3/4 sleeve top, I have my hair down. I usually wear it up during the summer but it keeps my back warm. That is the best part of having long hair. The cat in the picture is Lilo, he is a stray I feed, love him, and would love to be his new mommy. Actually, I think he may be a she. So sometimes I call her Lilo, sometimes I call her Lila lol. I thought maybe the name Molly, but that reminds me of someone that was not so very nice to me. I can't tell if it is a boy or a girl. I can't get close enough, and the tail is down all the time LOL. About a year or two ago, we went into the backyard, made a huge pile of leaves and threw them up in the air and caught it on camera and video, that was so much fun. We Continue Reading
COVID, Riots, Presidential Debate, So much going on.
This whole year has been full of so much uncertainty. I can't think of the last time the world felt like it was all in a ball of chaos. I know things could be worse, and they were for a bit. I just hope and pray for things to get better. Everyone wants the world to return to normal, whatever normal is for each one of us. However, this does not solve anything. In my opinion. I don't see any normalcy coming anytime soon, there may be moments when it feels like it, then something else happens. At this point in time with the way people are so disrespectful of not only each other, but God and the President regardless of anyone's personal feelings he is still the President like God is God, and NO, I a not trying to put them at the same level, far from that. People are child trafficking, such a vile thing to do, and I wish I could Continue Reading
Fall Is In The Air & All-Around Us
It has been about 2 weeks and the leaves had already been changing here in Massachusetts. Yesterday was the first day of Fall. The temperatures are lower now, it is nippier early in the mornings. I have enjoyed the breezy afternoons though. I love being able to open up the windows and let airflow through the house. I think today I will change my kitchen curtains, I have had a lemon theme up all Summer and have loved it. But now it is time to change them. I have a plaid set I bought last year that I'll be putting up, that we will use through the holidays. I am going to look around and see if there is a Fall theme I can find, but if not then the plaid will do. I think it is more of a Christmas/Valentine's theme, more so than Fall. But I suppose it can work for Fall too. I have a leaves theme in mind over plaid. I will have to Continue Reading
Is Summer Really Over?
There is 3 weeks until the first day of Fall. Are you excited? I am not that excited, I would have liked more summer, sure we have 3 weeks left. But with the whole pandemic and all, it is hard to really enjoy it as we have in the past. However, we do still do our BBQ, so we have that at least. Sometimes I think to myself and say "Thank God, I don't have children", not because I don't like children, no. Because I would hate to have them live in the world that way it is now. So much hate. Among all the other things that are going on around the country. I want to focus on happier things though. I started writing this blog post yesterday, than things came up and it had to go on the back burner as it has many times. Today is Friday the 4th of September, we are having nice weather, the sun is in out in the 80's. I fed Lilo early this Continue Reading
Busy, No Time For YouTube
I have found that I get too busy, and I neglect my YouTube channel. In all honesty, I find it has become a burden. I no longer enjoy it like I used to, but I keep it because I do product reviews and I like posting them on YouTube. I am considering changing my YouTube name, currently, it is PrettyThingsRock, I feel I have outgrown the 'Rock' portion of it. I like the PrettyThings part but I think I am going to change that too. When I do make the change, I am going to delete most of my outdated videos, and just leave more recent review videos up. I have a problem, well it may not really be a problem but here it is. I have watermarked all my videos with 'PrettyThingsRock' and since I plan on leaving some of my videos up the watermark will have to stay as it is embedded into the video. I know I will probably have issues with people Continue Reading
