Notes from Abigail
It’s that time of year to view beautiful fall leaves. I like to take a fall foliage trip every year. I have not yet decided where I would like to go but it will be in New England.
I think New England has some of the best fall foliage. My favorite colors are red, yellow and orange all displayed on the same tree.
This morning I was just reflecting on how much my life has changed over the past 10 years or so. I have embraced computers and the Internet, part of it because of my job and part because I consider it entertainment.
I joined Facebook a couple of years ago and have made many new friends. I look forward to logging in and catching up with my friends. We have a lot of fun together and life wouldn’t be the same without them.
As I went to work tonight the cool night air made me shiver. It was down in the low forties and breezy. Made for a cold night riding around with the window to the truck rolled down.
I know it will warm up later on but it was plain cold last night, the first really cool night of the fall season and I know that we have many more to follow, It takes me a while to get used to the cold I am cold blooded so it takes me a while to get used to the cold weather when it starts. Looks like tomorrow will be about the same so it will be bundle up time for me for a day or two I guess.
Ever since I was a small girl I have used many different night creams to help keep my skin moist, some worked very well some not at all. I got to searching on the internet for some night cream reviews, what I found amazed even cynical old me.
The one night cream that I have used for years was not given a very high score on the web site that I found with the very best night cream reviews. Night Creams has a great web site with a lot of information on which night cream is rated high and which ones are rated low. I plan to make my night cream choices from here on out on which ones have been rated higher than the rest.
I love the way that a good night cream makes my skin feel and I have always been very selective on which night cream I use and I see no reason to change that now that I am on the down hill side of 40, I need a better night cream now that I ever needed when I was 20. All the help I can get to choose a better night cream will be appreciated very highly.
Recently I inherited some baby spider plants. I have always wanted spider plants in my house. They are just so unique looking! At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with these gorgeous specimens. I have a green and white striped one and a solid green one.
Then one morning I woke up and while I was enjoying my morning cup of chai tea I spotted the perfect location for these plants to live. My large picture window will be their new homes.
Tomorrow I shall march down to the local hardware store and purchase a couple of plant hangers for the wall. I can then hang one plant up on each end of the window and the mixture and light and shade should be just right. These plants do not like bright sunlight all day.
If they receive this then they have a chance of burning. While I am at the hardware store I will also pick up matching pots. I can’t wait to put this project together. They are going to look fabulous!
Companies all over the world are jumping on the green bandwagon. Green printing is one of those as well. Printing companies are worried about their impact on the world just like everyone else. This is a really good thing because it is our responsibility to make sure that we preserve our environment for future generations.
There are all kinds of green products and services out there in today’s world. There are cleaning products that are green, as well as, everyday things that we use. Plastic bottles, toilet paper, news paper and many more are made from recycled products. This helps keep a lot of waste out of the land fills. Do your part and recycle too.
This year was pretty much a disaster as far as my back yard. Usually I would be reaping the rewards of a small backyard garden and giving extra produce to friends, neighbors, family and co workers. Between the weather being crazy and my lack of interest and energy this year, it just didn’t work out.
I did manage to get a few tomato plants that are producing although usually there are plenty of red ones on the vine by now. But they are taking their time in ripening. It is actually a bit better for me because I can only use and give so many tomatoes in the first week of August.
This year’s month August is being call Autumn in August, even some of the bushes and trees are totally confused at to what time of the year it is. There has been several mornings that I have gone outside, the wind is blowing and it’s overcast, that I have witnessed a good amount of leaves on the ground as well a a bunch of leaves being tossed around in the cool breeze.
I think I will back off on some of the food items in the garden next year. A nice break from this yearly chore. I would love to start planting some nicer plants and buses around the yard.
I have all winter to learn what I need to know and do for caring for orchids and all the other beautiful and colorful flowers that I am looking forward to tend to next spring and summer. I can’t wait to start getting all the seeds and flower catalogs that I always find in my mailbox right before the up and coming spring plantings.
In the mean time I’ll be looking around online to do a bit of research which will make all the decisions as an educated consumer.
Once in a great while I will see something on Face Book that really strikes me enough to take the time to comment on as well as saving the image onto my hard drive in order to post it here on my personal blog.
A good friend of mine from our high school days posted this today and it really hit home. I just couldn’t resist posting it here today. It deserves it, she deserves it and last but not least I deserve it!
Tonight’s evening news revealed a surprising study with regards to women in the movies. The study overall showed that women still have very few speaking parts compared to men. Men account for 67% of speaking parts according to this study. Women have very little leading roles.
The study accounts this data to the majority of film directors still being of the male gender. Naturally, these men lean more toward hiring male actors than female actors. I am kind of appalled but at the same time not fully surprised. It is very sad also that women who purchase more movie tickets in a year then men, according to the same study, view these movies and basically are subjected to their own equality.
That study also found that women are pealing off their clothes 1/3 more than their male counterparts. Again, it is women who are viewing these movies more than men. Something is wrong with this picture. Maybe in another 100 years women will finally have the upper hand or should I say lead?
Over the last few years the furniture in my home has become very out dated and stale, to help remedy this situation I had begun looking for some Modern Furniture to replace my old stuff. The main thing I want this new furniture to do is help liven up my living room and the dining room. The very best selection that I have found so far is the modern furniture located at Modern Line Furniture.
Modern Line Furniture has a grand selection and their pris so far has beat any of the local furniture stores I have checked out. I was really looking at the very unique leather sectional sofas, I think a nice leather sectional sofa would light up my living room and would go very nicely with the dining room table I have picked out. I really like the clean look of the modern furniture found on the web site for Modern Line Furniture and it will fit so very nicely in my home and it will be a very lovely addition to my home.
I can not wait to see how this new modern furniture looks in my home, I think I will throw a party when it get delivered just to show off my new modern furniture.
