Fall is taking the weekend off! Summer returns to southern Maine for the next three days. Temperatures are heading back into the mid- 70's (here's hoping they hit 80). If everything falls into place and the planets align, the painting of the garage and new shed will be complete, and this afternoon after a trip to the vets with the cats, I'll get a chance to sit down sip a couple of Pumpkinheads and watch the two baseball playoff games. Here's hoping for a couple of upsets. I'm putting a few coins down on the Cards and the Diamondbacks. Ah... but sad to say, I will not be drifting across the warm sands of any local beach nearby with this lucky gent. Happy Columbus Day!

Good for you! Over here, the Brittsommar (or Indian Summer), looks to be gone now. It's very windy and no more than 10C today.
ReplyDeleteHe's a long way from home if he's in Portland! I have a friend from Arizona heading to Hood River today hoping to find cooler fall temps. We here in East Texas are back up to close to 90 the last few days. And no rain yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift of warm weather we have had this past week, too! Would love for it to remain for another week or two! Love the literary Hemingway quote; just finished reading "The Paris Wife" and am now reading "Hadley" an older non-fiction book which is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week-end...enjoy life!
Save some of those pumpkinheads for me, please.
ReplyDeletePainting of garage and new shed? That sounds way too much like work. I like the business about pumpkinheads and watching baseball playoffs.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a pumkinhead? Hey, I'm from Florida; I don't know nuthin'!
Yes, it's been in the low to mid-80s with lows in the 60s here. Very nice. I hope you do get some of our weather this weekend.
Just remember which end to hold the brush.
Sounds like a little bit of everything kind of weekend Birdman, hope all goes to plan for you and that you do get a moment to sip some 'pumpkinheads' (cocktails I'm presuming!! and maybe even a 'smiddicks' or two.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteenjoy!
ReplyDeleteoh, i was actually able to leave a comment that time! i've had SUCH a hard time!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have summer we have an touch of Winter. We are down in the 40's and 50's with a touch of snow on the mountain tops.
ReplyDeleteKC has another dose of summer too, we are in the high 80's today and tomorrow. Personally I prefer the 70's. I will put a few coins on the cards too.
ReplyDeleteSo cool that you're getting the chance to finish your chores! And then will get to watch the games. I will still be at work, but I hope to check out at least the Cards on my ESPN iPhone app.
ReplyDeleteLove that T-shirt. Did you see my posts from Hood River? Lots of folks out in the big winds at Hood River!
The dock is coming out today, alas, but the warm weather has returned for a couple more days. Going to take the kayaks out on the lake. Don't know what a pumpkin head is . . .

We are going for the 80s here. I fell asleep during the Yankee/Tiger game but I am pulling for the Phillies today. With Halliday against Carpenter it will be thriller for us Blue Jay fans even though we are out of it all.
ReplyDeleteYes, a very nice weekend is on tap in my neighborhood too. I'll have a few cold ones and watch a little baseball this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Cards came through -- glad you wagered on them!
ReplyDeleteWe had summer twice this summer. On a Tuesday and a Saturday.....
ReplyDeleteNice photo!
