cloudy skies again...

tis a little dark and dreary out today...
the beans are drying and some are even picking already...
this field could be gone within a week...
but with all the gloom and doom...
there is color...
vibrant color...
my hot pink is back...
I bought this for the color...
but when it turned hot...
it turned red...
and now it's pink again with the cooler weather...

Dh didn't get home until after 8 last night...
ate supper, showered, watch a very little bit of tv...
and then off to bed...
not much of an anniversary for him...
we will do something later...
when harvest is over...

Kyle called and needs Craig's  help at the food pantry tonight...
the pantry is open every two weeks here...
and we go when we need to...
and we have been going this past month...
until the overtime money starts coming in...
September is our worst month with property taxes, car and home insurance due and the van needs plates...
it has helped so much!
they also opened a second hand shop next to it for clothes and small appliances, dishes and housewares...
I haven't been in there yet...
I have donated to it in the past...
but they are only open on Saturday mornings and then every other Thursday when the pantry is open...
my neighbor gets her clothes and shoes there...
they are both retired and on a fixed income, which isn't very much...
everything is donated, nothing is priced...
if you can afford to, you give a donation for what you get...
and that money goes back into the food pantry...

well, have a great day and enjoy this lovely fall weather...
it is inspiring me to change things up and take more naps...

so sorry the day and other things have you feeling dreary. That is why you have to love a small town that takes care of it folks.
