October 30, 2019 thought for the day: If you want something, go yourself, if not, send somebody else. Hungarian Proverb

It has been a relatively busy day, busier than the earlier two this week. I got the virtual visits done early so that I could go to the store before I had to get ready to leave for church. I need to make meat balls for the dogs today. I also needed to pick up candy for beggars night.

After I got home from the store and before I left for food pantry I paid the bills....that is one of my least favorite jobs. So it’s done and out of the way for a month.

For October twenty-ninth’s photo and because I had a full schedule, I searched some nearby lawns to find something of interest. My neighbors on both sides decorate nicely for the holidays. For today’s I chose the neighbor to the north.

On the way home from church I was on the look out for photos, as is my usual habit now days. I shot a few but I will have to wait until post processing to see which one I am going to use.

It’s raining...and is supposed to for the rest of today and all of tomorrow.

I was also able to finish the bulletin before I left for the store so I got it to the, now three proofreaders instead of two. By the time I got home they had all three responded so I made the adjustments when I got home from pantry. Now I am ready to print.

The word is bright.  He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon, John Milton.  I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present, Francis Bacon.   A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt, Zhuangzi.  Keep your face always toward the sunshine everything could be worse but isn't and so we are justified in being grateful - and shadows everything could be better but isn't and so it is easy to be bitter 'unless you decide to look on the bright side will fall behind you, Walt Whitman.     



On my way home from church I stopped at McDonalds. As I was sitting in line, I noticed the property next door and shot some photos as I waited my turn. I thought there was a full growth of weeds that were almost as interesting summer blooms. As a matter of fact they may have been decorative grass as apposed to weeds in the first place. Anyway, they along with the structures in the background were an interesting presentation.

It seems there is always something new in the way of housing choices in Columbus. The article today is about a specific area of Columbus. One that affects a popular part of our community, the Ohio State University. There is an area near campus called “Buckeye Village”. According to this article the village is an apartment complex that houses OSU students that are individual families. Apparently this set of buildings is going to be closed after fifty years in existence. Those graduate students and their families in these apartments will be offered housing in another area called University Village for the next two years at the price they are now paying. No answer has been given as to what will happen to the property. However, there was earlier talk about that area possibly being used as an Athletic District.

Of soy sauce, one t of rice vinegar, 1/4 t Mrs. Dash garlic powder seasoning, 1 T honey and gemelli pasta cooked in Swanson Chicken Stock.
