About the Weekend

After Halloween, nothing much exciting happened this weekend. Saturday, my daughter has piano lessons. Took her to that, and by the time we get home it's usually around 2 pm. So we try to think of something to do.

It's hard to think of things to do this time of year, because it's getting a little chiller out. And we are trying not to spend a lot of money so we have to think of things that either require no money or very little money. Which is not that easy to do. We decided to go see if the corn maze, that we have driven by a few times, was open. The little information we found online about it said open September-October. Well Saturday was November 1st, but thought it might be still open. Drove all the way there (it's at least 15 to 20 minutes away) to find out it is all gone. What? I guess they don't waste any time chopping down the maze. What are they out there October 31st cutting it down? Oh well, I don't know how much it costs to go through it, so I just saved myself some money.

Sunday we (more like my husband and I) raked leaves. We have tons of leaves! And most have not even fallen yet, and may not by the time we get the first snow. But we raked up as much as we could and by the time we were done for the day, we had raked 16 leaf bags full! I am actually doing as little raking as I can. I'm doing more of the picking up of the leaves. Mostly because, if you recall the injury I had to my sternum. I guess it was a hematoma, I'm not sure what it is really. But it will be a year next month since I fell and caused this. It is finally almost gone, and last time it acted up again was in the spring. And I really think I aggravated it after raking in the spring, I do not want to chance it, so I'm keeping the raking to a minimum. Luckily my husband doesn't mind and he mostly used a leaf blower. Which he likes using and it makes it a whole lot easier.

So that was basically my weekend. We have a long fall/winter ahead of us. I hope we can come up with ideas for things to do over the weekends. What do you usually do on the weekend?

A Very Rainy Weekend

It was a very rainy weekend here in New Hampshire. It rained Friday through Sunday. Here's some highlights from my weekend:


Friday: Rained all day. My son stayed home sick from school. When my husband got home from work I went to the grocery store. Not fun in the pouring rain. Woohoo, exciting.
Saturday: Rained all day. The only thing we did outside the house was take my daughter to her panio lessons. Played some games with my daughter, like Sorry, some card games, and even tried Scrabble. Which was kind of cool, playing that with my 8 yr. old daughter. (We still haven't finished the whole game yet.) Even played some Cribbage with my husband. We literally haven't played that in at least a year.
Sunday: Rained off and on all day. Sick of staying in the house so even though it was raining decided to see if a little fall fair was still going on at a place we like to go walking at. Got there around 1 and it was still going on. Saw a live bird show. They had a group that saves injured birds there. Which was neat. They had some owls, and different kinds of hawks. Took some pictures, didn't look at them yet. My son took some, just looked at them and he deleted them! He didn't save any of the pictures he took.

And of course watched the Red Sox - Yankees games. Which they didn't really matter much, because The Red Sox already are in the playoffs and the Yankees aren't.The Red Sox won last nights game. And the Yankees won the other two. So we didn't get swept. Now on to The Playoffs!!


So that was my exciting boring weekend. Hope you had a good weekend.
