The Day After the Grandchildren Went Home
Monday, November 2
The house seemed quiet on Monday morning, after having a houseful of children all weekend.
Even in the early morning, you can see that our trees are quickly loosing their leaves.
While sitting here, watching the beautiful sunrise, and listening to the morning news, I noticed something interesting on the floor in front of the TV. I believe Jesse was gathering chickens and ducks last night.
I spent most of the morning dusting, cleaning, putting toys away, and doing laundry from seven single beds.
There were bowls with leftover popcorn…
…and a Build-a-Bear kitty lying facedown on the carpet.
After removing sheets and pillow cases – and opening the air valves – I stacked pillows and blankets on top of the five air mattresses to remove the air.
There were a few stray balls in the garage…
…and a full garbage can.
By afternoon I was ready to relax on my La-Z-boy, and prop up my feet for a few minutes. Shortly after sitting down, I heard a large piece of machinery in the field below us. I’m a bit surprised that they were able to get another cutting of alfalfa.
It was a good evening to have my once-a-month deep tissue massage appointment. 
The eastern sky was alive with Canada Geese…
…and the western sky was filled with a brilliant orange.
I watched as the sky darkened…
…and the sun set below the horizon.
