Pale amber sunlight falls across
\nThe reddening October trees,
\nThat hardly sway before a breeze
\nAs soft as summer: summer’s loss
\nSeems little, dear! on days like these.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is just after 3 PM. I went to the village and town. Bills were paid, groceries, fuel, and wood pellets were purchased.<\/p>\n

I had hoped I could order two more solar panels, there wasn’t enough money left, unless of course me and the cats stopped eating. I did purchase the bolts I would need to mount the panels I couldn’t afford, but did buy the pole I needed for the angle support.<\/p>\n

October was a long month\u00a0 it is when the snow and cold arrives. I didn’t have a heater yet.<\/p>\n

I needed to get one of those ordered first and more catfood. All the groceries have been hauled up, but are still waiting for unpacking.<\/p>\n

After filling 5 gas cans, and lifting 3 heavy bottles of water into the van my back was done. I really don’t know where I found the strength and energy to haul the groceries up. I am in so much back pain I had to lay down.<\/p>\n

My coffee was still down stairs. It was 6 million miles away.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the pictures it is grey and the rain came down\u00a0 and according to the forecast we have about ten days of that coming.<\/p>\n

I noticed more geese leaving and the leaves have started falling off the trees, usually that means snow is not too far away.<\/p>\n
