A cold start to the new week

Our weather continues to be ever changing - one day warm and the next cool. We finally got some rain this past week which we really needed. The ground is now brown with fallen leaves. Some trees are bare, others still colorful. We were out for a ride this past week and the skies were awesome! I was taking pictures with my phone from the car and am pleased at the quality considering it was taken through the front windshield.



I've been working on using my iMac better. Many (I mean MANY) years ago I had Macs. Then, due to work needs, I had to switch to a PC and I've continued to use them. However, Windows 8 was the straw that broke the camels back - I purchased an iMac. Of course I still have Windows 7 PCs and the bouncing back and forth between the two formats is not making things easy! So I have focused this past week on all things Mac! I've figured out some things, Googled and read to learn other things and am now moving on to understanding iMovie. A new movie camera prompted this and a book from Amazon arrived. Desire and a book should do the trick. 

This morning was COLD - 28 degrees. There was frost on the deck railings but the steps were fine. Moving from daylight savings to standard time has been "interesting" as Honey can't figure out why we aren't feeding her at the "right" time. Even getting up earlier and going to bed later hasn't helped. Yesterday at 3:30 she was asking for her special treat she gets when we move into "happy hour". However, 3:30 is way too early. So, we will adjust slowly and she had her treat at 4 and B and I waited until 5 for drinks. Dinner was rump roast done in the oven. I had forgotten to put a plate under the meat when we it went into the refrigerator after a shopping trip Saturday and the juice made a mess of the bottom shelf in the refrig. I got out the book to be sure I was removing the glass shelf correctly. Of course I had to first remove the produce drawers and then that led to cleaning out the drawers (amazing what I found) and then washing and putting it all back. So, thankfully the meat was in the oven and a glass of wine when done was very appreciated.
