Political circus

Andy and I went to the circus yesterday right in our own home.  We rarely watch daytime TV, but at 10:00 am we started watching the inexplicable escapades of our elected politicians and it was riveting. We ignored everything including the dogs; I forgot to feed them. Finally, they were not having it any longer and I realized the mistake (in more ways than one.)

Today I assume will be just as jaw-dropping watching lives destroyed and careers being thrown to the wind.

At Many Branches we proceed getting the property ready for winter.  Trimming back the rosemary and boxwoods and the roses in hopes they make it through another winter.  We've discovered after many years you can actually kill Knock Out Roses.  They get old too and give up. While it is still warm we are getting the outdoor furniture put away.

I am thinking of pasta alfredo with shrimp today. It is quick and easy and we can have another look at what we have voted for as chaos ensues on in D.C.
