SUNDAY WAS GLORIOUS for so many of us I am sure. I was outside raking and bagging leaves in my shorts. I felt great and happy to be outside with working hard to do a job that would be soon erased with more leaves falling.
Sure enough this morning as I looked outside much of my hard work was gone and only the large bags filled with leaves told the story of the work already accomplished.
I will rake and bag more tomorrow morning!

With the Zin we all " tell great stories for ", " imagine great scenarios for ", " relax and enjoy, smile, feel joy and absolute harmony, faith, contentment for " ... pretty much everything except " to die for " : reason being you can only die once.

Also bought more of the Merlot ( $15.99, 12.5% alcohol by volume, ) that they are pouring by the glass down our block here at PULPO is it? I think so?
