In your face Oh-OK!
LEMONS. One day, I will rule the world, lemon in one hand, giant dictionary in the other.
Get a lemon tree!
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

If you cut a lemon in pieces and 'wave it for 30 secs, it loosens all the dried up junk and makes it much easier to clean.)
I did not know this. I'm glad you said something, because my microwave is nasty and partway through my raking I realized I HAD NO MORE LAWN BAGS. Grrrr....
Off to the store (adds lemons to list)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks for the book rec, Kate and Kat. Not that it's hard to find Xmas presents for Franny, but it's nice to find ones that I like too.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Get a lemon tree!
A mini-Meyer lemon tree is actually on my Xmas list!! I really want one for the bayesque window in my dining room.

Emmett's tree ("Jerry, the Good Tree") is still producing lemons.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, I want a lemon tree.
I also want to have woken up when I meant to and to have already started the Day of Apple Butter.

Because books.
Day of Apple Butter
Oh, yum. One of the things I miss most about my great aunt Alice (my grandmother's sister) is the things she (and her mother, my great-grandmother) made. Apple butter, coleslaw, all kinds of canned vegetables and jellies. Most of it on a wood stove for years, too.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Phew!
The buzzer just went off for the front door. I wasn't expecting anyone, but looked at the time and realized that it's the usual time when my dad arrives when he comes to visit. I took the elevator down, racking my brain to try and remember if Dad and I had talked about him coming today, because if we had, I'd forgotten and my apartment is a mess!
Turns out it was an Amazon delivery, which I didn't know they did on Sundays. Cool!

I got more lawn bags. By the time I got home, you could no longer tell that I had filled the two lawn bags I had left before running out.
Just hand me a rock and call me Sisyphus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least the leaves really do have an end? Eventually....
Bathroom is clean (enough), lunch has been eaten. Next, put in the laundry, get in the shower, and maybe a little shopping while it dries.
