1st Step - Moving The Christmas Tree

 

Song:  Mariage D'amour

Original Composer:  Paul De Senneville

Bandi went on an early morning walk in our neighborhood yesterday.

As you can see,,,

most of the Autumn leaves have fallen from the Aspens.

However...

there are some late bloomers which still contain leaves.

Bandi has such a good time at home.

She still has the playfulness of a puppy.

------------

This afternoon...

my wife and I moved the Christmas Tree to one of the far corners of the great room.

It is so much better where it is now.

This was just the first of three major things in the great room we must move

in preparation for the sofa set we will order in another month and a half or so.

As you can see in the background...

some of our Aspens are not only still hanging on to their leaves...

these leaves are more orange than yellow.

They look beautiful as we look out the kitchen or side great room windows.

The semi circular sofa recliner set we are thinking of ordering will need a lot of room...

and so...

we are now moving things in the great room to make sure there will be plenty of room 

for the sofa set.

We will also be moving the recliner upstairs to the loft...

as the semi circular sofa set will extend from the end of Bandi's bed 

to where the recliner is presently.

Today...

we are having light snow.

I was going to go food shopping (and have a pizza at AJ's)...

but as the temperature was just above freezing earlier...

and then did a sudden drop just before the snowfall...

that set the day up for a dangerous form of icy conditions

(the temperature of the roads will melt the first waves of snow...

creating water which will freeze with the drop in temperature...

and then a light snowfall on top of the ice will hide the usual telltale signs 

of light reflection which shows the patches of ice).

And so...

as we aren't expecting snow tomorrow...

and as I plan to leave in the late afternoon to ensure any ice will have melted...

I will go shopping then.

I really like to where the Christmas tree was moved.

------------

Depending on how we feel after we eat...

my wife and I may move the recliner upstairs...

but...

I doubt it.

As we have plenty of time...

and will have more energy earlier in the day...

we will probably move it on another day.

Last night...

I just finished watching a TV series on Netflix which I had very much enjoyed...

'The Ranch'.

As the weather prohibits me from completing most projects...

I have just been watching dramas and comedies.

I am thinking of going to the downstairs guest room

to just binge watch a Korean drama on our big screen later tonight.

---------

As I am completing today's blog...

I can see the snow falling through the alcove windows from my computer station chair.

I have the underfloor heater on...

making the tile floor toasty warm...

and there is the pleasant aroma of something delicious

being cooked in the kitchen.

Yes...

life is good.

My wife had made Mabo Dofu for me to eat (otherwise called Mapo Tofu).

As always...

my wife's food is always tasty and healthful.

The light snowfall has pretty much stopped now.

You can see the more orange colored leaves of one of my later Aspen leafers.

-----------

Throughout the day...

my wife and I had been discussing about the smaller details 

for our upcoming trip to Japan.

Right now...

my wife is running on the treadmill...

afterwhich she will take a shower...

and then eat her big meal of the day...

and she will then continue with her trip planning.

I will just lie down for a while...

and then decide as to whether I will go down to the guest room

to binge watch a Korean Drama...

or to just go to sleep early...

as for tomorrow...

I will do some shopping...

and then gorge myself on a large NY style double sausage pizza

at AJ's on the way back  :)
