10-10-25 SHORT HILLS: We came back here to the chaos of failed appliances. The refrigerator had a bad piece of insulation for the freezer door. We knew about this and had tried to get a replacement, but it was a discontinued model and no parts could be found on the secondary market. It turned out to be 14 years old, but was otherwise OK. We bought a new one at Home Depot.
The clothes dryer popped a fan belt on the first run back here. So we had four repair people here on Tuesday, dryer repair, new frig installers, furnace servicing, and the sunroom window replacement. The sunroom window had rotted sills. Everybody did their jobs and by noon it was done, except for the dryer part, which is still pending, but available, we are assured.
Otherwise we have had warm weather here, sunny and in the eighties, until a recent storm that delivered a half inch of much needed rain. Since the storm it is cooler with seasonal temps, or what used to be seasonal temps. The indoor plants are all safely back inside, including the succulents and herbs.
The quince has given us two fruits, we're not sure what to do with them. The holly berries turned red almost overnight.
Anna, Gardner and Emmett were here on Sunday for their second annual trip to NJ for pumpkins to decorate their stoop back in the Village. They bought many, many pumpkins of all sizes and colors as well as squashes and mums. The visit included a petting zoo stop. The stoop looks very gorgeous and gourdy.
We had dinner with cousins Alice, Stu and Louise, and then with Bebe and Ronny.
New blooms: rosemary.
