Have Some Brain Food

 September 22, 2020

Good morning.  Note the date?  Twenty already.  That means it's almost October already.  Once the hot temps are done, the rest of the year goes really fast.  At least for us old folks.  Temps today should get up into the mid sixties, then be a little warmer for the next several days.  That's going to feel really good.

Even with the cooler temps, there are still some beautiful blossoms to enjoy.  Here's a photo of my geranium plant.  Still pink and pretty.

On the way home from the mountains, Audrey took this photo of the flowers along the side of the road.  Aren't they beautiful?

I've been working on the navy blue afghan lately.  Now that it's cooler, it feels good to hold it on my lap while I work on it.  It also feels good to wear my flannel housecoats now too.  Especially in the mornings.  It's time to get out my warm jammies.  

I was sleeping so nice this morning, and my little Lord Fauntleroy started barking at me to get up and feed him.  So I did.  And when he saw that his breakfast was plain old dog food, he turned up his nose and curled up in a ball and went to sleep.  Well!  I'll be!   Now that he sees me typing this post, he's back looking for some food.  

How about another new word?           Elflocks    (ELF-lahks)

Part of speech: plural noun 

Origin: Old English, late 16th century 

A tangled mass of hair  .Examples of Elflocks in a sentence :     (1) "She woke from her nap with a head full of elflocks."     (2) "When my hair gets long it always looks like elflocks."

It's good for the brain to learn new words.  Word puzzles are a great brain food too.  Especially for us older folks.   Keeping our brains healthy is as important as physical exercise is for our bodies.  

Enough for the smart stuff.  Now I'm going to the kitchen and make that cup of coffee.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
