The man of the house does a lot of work behind the scenes ---- waterworks, car problems, Googling stuff. But there's no doubt that women (past and present) do more than their share to keep the Domestic Unit healthy and happy...
For instance, on Canadian Thanksgiving she baked a yummy golden turkey. And the house specialty ---- chocolate bark.
Here's this week's meteorological report. Blazing sunrise but not til about 7:50am. Climate-worrisome heat wave. Unusual falling leaf pattern ---- many trees completely bare, many others still green.
Back to woman's work. First, let's restore the sheen on a weary table found at a Habitat Restore. Then let's put up a case of grape juice. Name on the label? ---- The Quay To Her Heart.
Out in the yard, the gardener's grasses are up to 10 feet high. Some white blossoms brighten up the pond. But the leaf piles will be work for ---- the guy!
Very skilled work going on with fabric lovingly chosen in Bali. Careful cutting and sewing creates new comfort on the couch!
More dramatic sunrises in the fall...
Two different piles to note this week. In the country, squirrels are gathering butternuts for the winter. That's normal, but the weird thing is they're stashing them outside; they will all be covered in snow!? In the city, a heap of buffalo skulls is one of the powerful installations denoting the horrors that Indigenous peoples suffered during Canadian colonization.
More proof of women at work? The present woman in my life loves to clean anything and everything. And the #1 woman of my past still seems to be making my life prosperous, charmed, and blessed. Just to prove it ---- her favourite rose bloomed on her birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!
