Time to say goodbye……goodbye to the warm weather, goodbye to sitting beside the nice blue water of the backyard pool. Goodbye to the family picnics. It’s time to say hello to raw, rainy November and hello to its chores of yard cleanup and plant trimming to prepare for winter.
I used to enjoy doing these jobs. The exercise and fresh air were just what my body needed after the excesses of the summer season. Unfortunately this aging body was no longer capable of that sort of pleasure. It was goodbye to the body needed for these tasks. It’s amazing how this change into an “old man body” seems to have happened like overnight.
But, as evidenced by the picture, I’m damn lucky to have a family that for some unknown reason cares enough to help this old fart out. Must be my great Chili that I serve after the job is completed. Since this took place the day after Thanksgiving It was nice to have grandchildren visiting from New York and New Hampshire to come over and help out.
I apologize that this Blog is so brief, but I've overdone a bunch of things today and this worn out old body is starting to ache and seeks the sanctuary of my magic recliner. I'll do better next time.

Picnic times are over, but I thought I'd send you a recipe to spark up those burgers and sandwiches:
Guy’s Sriracha Mayo
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
4 grilled green onions chopped
1-1/2 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mix all and divide among burgers or sandwich of your choice.
