garbage day...

Today is garbage day. I never really payed much attention to what day the sanitation gang rolled through in the city. Here in subhood, however it is something to celebrate. These people will pick up anything! It's fabulous. So, though I know this too shall pass, I always get a little excited about garbage day.

In other news, it is still raining. I am thinking that it is too late to build an ark. The sky is grey and heavy. It is as if someone flipped a switch and it became autumn. I actually wore my light sweater yesterday. Amazing. I know that we will likely have another warm spell, but fall is a'commin'. I have lived in Chicagoland for almost ten years now and I have yet to get used to how quickly summer can vanish. This is perhaps the first year that I wanted more of the summer weather. Chateau Ouilmette is a summer home. This summer has been wonderful! We have had some guests, yes. That is great. But really it has been all about coffee on the back porch. I am trying to figure out if a space heater on the back porch is a wise idea.

Jorge...let's test it out! Me. You Strong coffee and tobacos. Que piensas? Quiero fumar y beber con usted, profesor.

Baptists Like Me has linked here for a couple of reasons. I am grateful. To express my gratitude, I linked there under my Baptist Sites list. Check it out. BLM also links to Reconciler and is very encouraging. Danke!

RevGalBlogPals has been featured in an article in Christian Century. Huzzah! Keep it up! Several friends helped put it together. I joined in a little while later. I am proud.
