View From Here & A Lost Day

The maples are putting on a display here and it's only October 1st.

My iPhone camera just doesn't capture what I see on this hill behind our house.

 Have you ever had a lost day? Mine was Wednesday.  

By Sunday night I knew I'd caught the cold that Dan and Emily and family had, but I thought I could beat it with my lime juice and honey hot tea.  I also started taking the cold meds that Dan had taken for the relief from the runny nose, sneezing and coughing. But when I woke up on Wednesday I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.  The worst was the pounding headache.  I got out of bed only because I needed to take something for the headache and all that was downstairs. 

I spent most of the day on the couch sleeping; waking only for a cereal breakfast and a leftovers lunch that Dan fixed for me. My only accomplishment for the day was finishing a book and finally feeling better enough to make dinner: Chinese noodle soup.

I keep thinking today is Wednesday but it's not.  I lost a day!
