Refreshed! and we got even more after this was taken... That's what a week away can do and this one did just that! We left the cold and clouds and enjoyed a week of sunshine and warm temperatures!  We enjoyed sitting by the pool and reading a novel without anything else that "had" to be done. We went shopping! And bought too much!  Went to a fabulous restaurant at the Royal Palms resort called T. Cooks!  Wild Texas antelope! Rack of lamb! Striped sea bass!   Enjoyed an over-the-top Thanksgiving dinner with Canadian friends!  Turkey and beef wellington and all the trimmings.  Ate too much!

Maybe it's because I have retired or maybe it's just that I'm getting older. Probably the latter.  November means there are leaves to deal with...lots of them.  I bagged this pile- only needed three bags! The intrepid leaf warrior! He blew them all into three or four piles and thought he was done. How do I convince him he needs to bag them as well? That was yesterday. Today it's raining. Trying to decide if I should go out and finish the job. We will not be experiencing these mild temperatures for a LONG time!
