Friday's Frustrations

I love the spare form of the tree minus its leaves.

Stupid pedometers that record 12,000+ steps then lose them all before I manage to download them to the computer.

Signing up for "challenges" on the website that require the working pedometer.  The very pedometer I have that is flaky - doesn't seem to reliably work.

A favorite fall color.

Trying to figure out if I should buy the chairs for the living room.  Or would we rather spend the cash on a trip - the one that we expected but didn't get in September or October.  Maybe we should take a couple trips in November.  Or one in November and December.  Yep, going around in circles.  Thus the frustration.

Apples!

Onions.  (They seem to be in everything. I'm allergic.)

That we're still on daylight savings time.

Some gratitude to balance out the frustrations:  for plenty to read, a comfy chair (or several) to sit and read in, eyes to see the printed page and a smidgeon of chocolate for fun.

And for trees.  Today this particular apple tree had a wheelbarrow underneath chock-full of apples.  Should'a taken a picture.  It was pretty.
