Friday Morning Coffee Talk (I'm already on my second cup of coffee)

November 1, 2024 9:32am CST
Happy November and Happy Friday Everyone! this is the first day that I didn't wake up to sunshine. Forecast said possible showers but so far it's only overcast and I bet we won't see any rain today. Yesterday trick or treating was a big success. The neighborhood kids were excited and it was so much fun seeing their costumes and all the enthusiasm. By 7:30pm it was over so we were able to have some dinner. The plan of sandwiches worked out well and it took no time at all to make grilled cheese with a side of chips and pickles. I'm having a Walmart delivery this afternoon. Company tomorrow so we just need drinks and something for dessert. We're going to stick with pizza for lunch as it's the easiest and something everyone likes. This has been a busy week and I'm actually looking forward to that extra hours sleep we'll get when we turn the clocks back. Hope everyone has/had a good day and something fun to look forward to over the weekend

Long weekend for us, today is All Saints' Day and it's a holiday. Sunny and very warm. We enjoyed walking.

Thanks for reminding me. I couldn't remember if it was All Souls or All Saints.

@BarBaraPrz Tomorrow is All Souls' Day, Día de Muertos is particularly celebrated in Mexico.

It is kind of nice when you live in a densely populated community. You do get a lot of trick or treaters. Enjoy your company.

It is nice to have neighbors close by and still being surrounded by beautiful countryside

Yesterday, the forecast for today promised more nice weather, but they lied. This morning at 8 it was 13°C and overcast. Now it's dropped to 11°C at 11am. That's only 52°F. Think I'll have a second cup of tea to warm up.

@Marilynda1225 I don't think it's been unreasonably warm.

Our weather has been unreasonably warm all month so if we get hit with winter weather I'm going to be shocked. I've been lulled into this false sense that winter is far far away

I forgot all about the time change this weekend. I will appreciate an extra hour of sleep also. I just will need some time to get used to the early darkness each evening.

That early darkness gets me every year and with the temperatures being unseasonably warm for this time of year I will be shocked if a cold weather day appears. I'm in denial that winter is bound to rear its ugly head

I am going to the actual Walmart store. we were predicted to rain down this end of the state. between 3 A.M. to 4 a.m. when i was waking up, I could tell the leaves were wet from the rain. However, it is sunny but only in the 60s compared to 8 degrees on Halloween. I was explaining to my cat that the clock goes back an hour and how it will be dark so early but I forgot to tell him we will get an extra hour of sleep! With how much he loves to sleep, I won't have to beg him to get an extra hour! thank you for reminding me! have fun with your company!

Our pets are probably very happy to get that extra hour of sleep even if they are lazy anyway The sun came out, no rain and it's in the mid 70s. Beautiful

We shopped some today and just hung out after our extra naps. I am out on the edge of town and did not expect or want trick or treaters. There was trunk or treat on Main Street and a haunted Library event that went to ten. I got my view of costumes at the school Halloween parade. My kiddo's big brother brought a one piece dragon pajama for him to wear. It was cute. We had lots of "Spider men" and plenty of princesses. A few pirates. The high school came over to the Sports Aquatic Center and set up a "trunk or treat" event for our kids and their families. There was an itty bitty kid in a pirate ship made over a wagon. Cute.

I know a lot of people complain about the time change, but I like the extra hour of sleep too. I’ll get under my blanket, and will enjoy the warmth it brings with the extra coziness. I hope you enjoy your weekend, and that your company is a joy.

I enjoy the extra hour sleep but hate that it starts getting dark so early. It even confuses Mush because she associates it getting dark with dinner. So, she'll be looking to eat an hour early

I never got any candy so we left the lights off. I did give a small bag of candy to all the children that we know before Halloween.
