If you haven’t guessed it, today’s Music Monday theme is a song that fits in with all things Halloween-ish. I tried to not pick a song that immediately comes to mind, but something it may have been a while since you have listened to it. I know it’s been quite some time since I have heard this song.

Morning Civatar, another Monday, another Music Monday. It’s hard to believe Halloween is now 10 days away and then it will be Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc, etc. This fall just seems to be flying by.

Today’s choice for Music Monday is a song that has been around awhile. You most likely have heard of it before or at least snippets of it on TikTok, or other short video platforms. Not sure how old the singer is here, but goodness he looks young or maybe I am just feeling old?

Here we are, almost halfway through October already. This month is just flying by. The next few days are going to be on the chilly side here with temps at or below freezing for a night or two or three. There goes the rest of the garden for the year. I was getting tired of watering as it was. I still have a few chores to do outside, but I will wait for the temps to rebound a bit before getting to them. Til then I am working on some indoor projects. I bought a new flatbed scanner, and I am hoping to scan and make prints of all of mom’s photos to make albums for all of my brothers. I want everyone to have a copy of every pic before any are lost or walk off. As it is, I can’t find some pics and I haven’t a clue where they have gone. Lots to do between now and Christmas so I hope I can get it all accomplished with everything else I have going on.

I went a bit back in time for today’s Music Monday song. I remembered hearing it all the time as a kid. Funny how those old songs bring back so many memories.

Goodness the time is flying by. Already into the 2nd week of October, at this rate I will be Christmas shopping before I get all of my outdoor projects completed. I’m still waiting on the roofers who dropped off all of the shingles and supplies last week, and I haven’t heard a peep from them since. With these chilly mornings, I don’t expect them to get here too early, but you would think by the afternoon they would show up to do something.

It’s been a while since I posted some country music for Music Monday, so I picked this song by Dwight Yoakam. It’s been ages since I have heard anything about him, but I am guessing he is still concentrating more on his acting career and not his music so much. Pity, he really has such a talent for it.

Well, here we are, the last Monday of the month as well as the last day for September. It won’t be long until we will be complaining about the colder weather and thinking of the holidays.

I came across this singer a while ago and decided to post him for today’s music Monday. I can’t at the moment think of the group he sings with, but I enjoy his voice on its own. You will be shocked by it when you see his “baby face”, as he is a fairly young singer.

Here we are again, another Monday rolling around. I’ve got a list of things to do today, but I’m not that enthused to do much. I’ve got some hummingbird nectar cooling on the stove and I will be refilling the feeders when it cools down. Not much longer and they will be done migrating thru my area. I imagine a great deal of them went thru before we hit this cold snap yesterday. Fall definitely proved it’s point with its arrival.

I have one box to pack up from cleaning out the dining room of unwanted or unnecessary items and then I will have 19 boxes of glassware, cookware, Tupperware, knickknacks, etc. to go. I also have another 10 boxes of books as well as two other boxes of misc. I have two more rooms to go, and the linen closets and I can call it quits.

In typical Monday fashion, as I was writing this blog, the phone rang, by the time I got back to the computer it was updating. So, while it updated, I went ahead and filled the hummingbird feeders, stopped to talk to the mailman who delivered a package (2 new peony roots to plant at the cemetery), and I put on a pot of chicken and noodles since my brother called to say he would be over today to help with a couple of projects before winter.

I’m tired already and it is barely 11 a.m.

I guess it’s time to put some music on and try and get inspired and give myself a pep talk about getting some pep.

I don’t think I have posted this song before, so I hope it is new for you, if not, I hope you still enjoy it. Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday.

I chose the above meme as it seems to indicate how today, and specifically this week is going to be going. I may need a search and rescue team to come look for me if I get buried too deep in all that needs to be done.

Today I am hoping to get all of the insurance stuff taken care of, as well as get a little yard work done but that will depend on a few other things. Sometime this week the roofers are supposed to show up and redo the roofs on the garage and shed that I didn’t get done last year. Hopefully they come in the next couple of days as rain is supposed to move in midweek with rain possible for several days. I am also thinking of replacing some siding on the garage, and if that happens then it will also mean I will have to add painting on the list of things to do.

It seems to happen every fall, a mad rush to get things done before it gets too cold, and winter moves in. I know it’s not technically fall yet, but I feel like winter is going to show up early this year.

The song I chose for today’s Music Monday is by Adele, and it’s hard to believe this song came out well over 10 years ago. Still a great tune to get one humming along to start their week with. Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday.

9/9- Music Monday

I know I am a bit late with today’s Music Monday post. I thought I would blog on something different for a change earlier today, but since it’s a bit slow on here I will go ahead and post a song for Music Monday as well.

This song came out quite a while ago, and originally was done by Bette Midler, but I like this duet version she does with Wynonna.

Back at it…

I’m back at it again, trying to get things gone through and I’m finally done with the kitchen. Today’ it is going to be the dining room which has more cupboards as well as the China hutch. That is unless I talk myself out of it and hold off on it for another day.

My biggest problem is deciding what to do with stuff. Even if I decide I don’t want it, then what to do with it? I’m not interested in having any garage sales, so that most likely means lugging it to the Goodwill or some other charity shop that will take the items.

But there are some items that have sentimental value, and I struggle with the idea of whether to keep it, give it to another family member or just putting it back in the drawer for now. Especially when it comes to mom’s jewelry. Now mom didn’t have a lot of it, but still there are items such as her wedding ring, engagement ring, and a couple of other rings she wore from time to time. Earrings, bracelets, watches, necklaces, etc, along with dad’s tie tacks, belt buckles, and other assorted little bits one finds in a jewelry chest.

I am not even sure if any of her rings will fit, I haven’t tried any of them on, it just feels a bit weird to do so. To tell the truth, I am sure they will have to be resized because her hands changed over the years. Even though she was a petite woman, her hands were ravaged from arthritis, and she had swollen knuckles and joints that made it hard to get her rings off and on. I’m not sure what size they are, and heck, I am not even sure what size ring I wear now.

It had me wondering then if shoe sizes and ring sizes are the same for a lot of people? My hands haven’t really changed much but my feet have. So if they were ever the same size at one time, they certainly aren’t now. Which then got me to wondering what about wrist sizes? Can you have big fingers and small wrists, or big wrists and small fingers and well then of course, Google came in.

Looking at all sorts of charts, I find it amazing that wrist sizes are as big as they are. Just looking at my wrist, it’s hard to believe that a small wrist is 6 inches. That is half a foot! It doesn’t seem possible, but yet that is considered a small wrist size.

So now my curiosity is peaked. Ring size, wrist size, shoe size… how close are they to each other and are they similar or wildly different? I look at my hands and I know I have my father’s hands. Thankfully arthritis has not affected my joints, or at least not yet to where it is visible. Time will tell on that front, and I know that most likely for now, the jewelry will all go back in the drawer at least for a little while. But I know before the end of the day, curiosity will have the better of me and I will be checking out my ring size, getting a string to measure my wrist and see if they are even close. If they aren’t, I am going to feel like such a Neanderthal.

Don’t even get me started on ankle bracelets. So, bloggers do you know the size of it all? Have you noticed changes in your hands, wrists, feet, etc? Are they similar? Or are you fearing you could be a descendent of Bigfoot too?

The things I think of,… anything to get out of tackling those dishes.
