Cricket Fever



Autumn is fast approaching and it is almost dark now in the morning, when the alarm clock goes off.
Coats and sweaters and the extra bedding will have to come out, as the season is soon upon us.

Blogging has taken a back seat lately as I have been making the most of the fine days we have had here. Staining outdoor steps and the wooden deck rails, doing some gardening and I hope to get over to see you all soon.

Cricket fever has the Nation in its grip - the excitement has just gone up a notch for us, as on Sunday is the final game for the Cricket World Cup - the Australian team verses the New Zealand  Black Caps ... It will be a nail biting time ~ may the best team win.

A beautiful weekend to you
hugs
Carolyn

  1. Good morning beautiful Carolyn! Autumn is coming to you, spring to us, and we are happy. It was one long and cold winter, and though it snowed a few days ago, it did not "stick" and warmer days are ahead. Enjoy your new season my friend! Anita

  6. Cricket fever is very interesting to me. I've never actually watched a game of cricket, but I would enjoy it! I hope you're having a good transition to fall and that the home improvement projects go smoothly!

  13. Dearest Carolyn,
    Wishing you a happy Palm Sunday and hope you find time to relax some. We have to change to the lighter bedding even though this night we have again some light frost. It was very cool when we reached home by 2:00 AM on Saturday morning from our 6-day Arizona vacation.
    Sending you hugs,
    Mariette
