The Equinox Egg
I was listening to KNUJ in regard to fall officially starting at 2:20 in our area. It was also said that for a short time during the equinox this afternoon, an egg would stand on its end. Hmm. Up out of the studio I came with egg and camera in hand, I had to try this. Sure enough . . . it was a true story.
The times that I have gone in and out of our home today had been down right nasty. The boxelder bugs are hateful. They are swarming to no end. After having several caught on our clothes, they are not that easy to either get them outside or squash in a piece of tissue. For the ensuing hours the imagination goes wild thinking that there may be some crawling on you. I told Dennis, I would see him outside after dark.
We will be having one of Dennis’ oven meals for supper: tuna, pasta, frozen peas with Alfredo sauce. Sweet! It is a real treat to have someone fix a meal who also washes up the dishes that it took from A to Z. I stay far away during that prep. If I add my 2 cents worth, it may deter him from treating me again. No . . . I did not learn that in one easy lesson. I never learn anything in one easy lesson.
The biggest lesson I did learn from my dad, Raymond: “If you stay caught up, you won’t have to catch up.” My oh my, my dad was wise. This rings true for me whether it is housework, yard work or all things in the world of money. It might work for many.
