Wow! Measurable Rainfall!

Finally...measureable rain since I got a new rain gauge more than a month ago. We got 4/10 of an inch. I am pleased with my rain gauge...I can actually read it from inside. I will have to bring the gauge tube in before it gets too cold...don't want it to freeze. I've had a busy day...a big woosh on surfaces throughout the downstairs and all my fall decorations are off the tables, etc. and all put away. I do still have Fall still on the front porch so will finish putting those away after Thanksgiving. I can easily get to my Fall decorations that I might like to use on the tables for Thanksgiving...some pumpkins and turkeys and leaves may come back out for that special day. I have put our a few Christmas things...very few...but it is a start! I just know that if I don't want to be stressed about getting things done, I need to start early and move along steadily but not too much at a time. Already today all the up and down and carrying things mainly up that my back was protesting. I did manage to make as few trips up and down as possible. I am glad that I actually got all the Fall decorating items put away that I took upstairs. I have several surfaces cleared off...ready for a good dusting and polishing before Christmas gets placed. I put up one Christmas needlework picture and a couple of Christmas pillows...so far that is it! I had to rest for a while this afternoon after my busy morning. I am going to attempt to stitch tonight and just sit...and enjoy what I have gotten out, since it is in the room with me! I will keep you posted on decorating progress...I know early...but for my peace of mind...it's worth it...plus I am really looking forward to getting to see my Christmas once again! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
