I know that it has been a while since I last wrote. Things are going crazy around the house. Getting ready for the birth of the twins, which could be any day now. This weekend was beautiful and I worked outside moving some plants and getting started putting up the Christmas decorations. I love this time of year. Most of my neighbors were outside too putting up decorations. When it gets dark, all the houses on my street turn on the outside lights and our street looks so pretty. I have some more things to do and I hope to put up our tree this weekend. I have a bay window that we put it in. Want to put up some lights around my patio, and hope to do that tonight after work before the weather gets cold again.

Hi Again...



Melissa here...



I just got an email about Mike Filsaime's Free Report
called - "The Death of Internet
Marketing"



I will admit, like you may be feeling now, that I thought it was some
hyped up offer to get me to join for free and get some offer...



...Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.



The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes to what really is the
death of Internet marketing. The good news is, the report also shows you what
you need to know to succeed in the near future.



The times are changing and I it would be a shame for anyone to not read this
report and fail like many will.



I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.



I recommend you take a break from what ever it is you are doing if you can and
get access to this report now.



Consider your future success by going here now...

Thanks,



Melissa



PS - Mike says it will only be available for a few weeks at most so do
not delay...

Another week has come and gone and it was a busy one. I worked in the yard and my son cut the grass for the last time this year (he hopes!). I have one or 2 inpatients that still aren't bad looking, but think that this time next week all will be done. We have to rake more leaves, but who doesn't this time of year. We had a baby shower this weekend at our home for our son and his girl friend. Not a big blowout, but a nice turnout. I enjoy having our friends and family over to the house. I wish that I was able to do have more "gatherings" for our family and friends, but with work its hard. Anyway, getting back to the baby shower, I am always amazed at the generosity of our family and friends. Some of my girlfriends hadn't met Dawn yet, but all showed up to celebrate the impending birth of the twins. They got alot of nice things and one thing for sure, they will be the best dressed babies!! I didn't realize that there were some many cute things out there. After the shower was over and I was cleaning up the all the dishes, I made the realization that good food, great friends and being together makes you appreciate what you have.

It's Monday morning and I am reflecting back on my weekend and I realized that I didn't get as much work done outside yesterday that I wanted to. We cleaned up almost all of the inpatients that were dead, but still have some in a protected area that are still nice. The flowers around my light post have been pulled and thrown away. The last of the dead flowers on my front porch bagged and tossed too. My oldest son got the ladder out and cleaned out some of the clogged gutters around the house. The maple tree in the front of the house has most of its leaves gone and that's because of a wind storm that we had on Saturday afternoon. Now you can really see what dead branches are left. I hope that my husband is going out today to cut them off with the chain saw. I have some ornamental grass that needs transplanting, but didn't get to that. Maybe tonight...

Driving back from lunch today, I really noticed the trees on both sides of the Interstate had changed. Brilliant reds, yellows and oranges dotted the hillsides. It has turned colder here in Southwestern Pennsylvania over the last few days. I would imagine that by next week if I traveled the same path that we took today, I would see nothing but bare trees.

This morning I got up early with the intentions of getting what house work that I didn't get done yesterday done early so that I could work outside. Yea right. The temperature was in the mid 40's and raining. So I made coffee, and took my new gardening book and relaxed on the couch. I want to try to get some ideas for next year. As you know many of us have grand intentions with plans and ideas, but yet somehow they don't all get put into place. Things like time and money get in the way. Yes TIME and MONEY. Sure I want a cascading waterfall and pond in my garden, but that takes alot of TIME and MONEY. I know that it all can't come at one time, so this fall I hope to go to my Aunt's farm and gather some of the stones and bring some of them home each time we go. I have to make a place in the yard to pile them and that means that I have to plan the time to do this. Yea right...

I'm sitting here at work listening to the rain on the roof of the trailer and watching the leaves fall from the trees outside my window. Traveling to and from work over the last week I have really noticed the changing of the leaves. This more than anything reminds me of the cold weather to come. I love the changing of the seasons, but wish that winter was still a couple of months off. This winter will be different though. While the cold and snow is happening, we are expecting the arrival of our first grandchildren this January. Yes twins. A boy and a girl. My oldest son and his girlfriend are expecting. Two new "sprouts" to nurture in the coming spring. Cant wait...

As I spent this weekend working outside pulling out dead flowers and transplanting flower bulbs, I realized that this time of year is one of my favorites. The trees in the backyard are turning orange, red and yellow colors and it makes me think of when I was a child and playing in the leaves that had fallen to the ground. Making piles then jumping into them and throwing them at each other was a favorite pastime. Anyway, since we had our first frost last week, some of my perenials have bit the dust. I have been moving some of my daylilies too. They are spreading and I have been trying to move some to other parts of the yard. We also have been putting away most of the garden furniture in the garage. The back patio looks so bare with out the canopy and the table and chairs. I have been thinking of expanding my flower garden off my back patio by extending it another few feet. Something to work on during the winter months...
