Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my perky puffins! How are you? The weather has been extraordinary again. We’ve already had two days in the 60’s this week. There’s been plenty of wind, too, so sometimes it gets frustrating trying to rake up the leaves. Believe it or not, if the leaf litter isn’t too heavy, and you have a mulching lawn mower, the best thing to do is to chop those leaves up over and over again so that the lawn can absorb the small particles of organic matter. This is best done on older, established lawns. (A tip of my crystal ball to Mr. OrbsCorbs for providing that timely lawn care tip.)

Our acclaimed Green Bay Packers made mincemeat of the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, pushing their record to 9-0. Awesome! Audacious! Astounding! Hurrah, hurrah to the astonishing Packers! We love you all. Next on the agenda is Sunday’s confrontation with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, November 20, noon, Lambeau Field. Give them hell, boys!

Well, there’s nothing in the news I want to write about. It’s all so depressing and ugly. I entered “beautiful and uplifting” into YouTube’s search engine. The responses included this, “[NEW] KPM Music - Written In The Stars (Uplifting Beautiful Female Vocal – ‘Epic Movies’ Album):”



Oh my, that was uplifting. I feel like my sinuses are cleared now. No matter what goes wrong in the coming weeks, it can’t be as bad as being a turkey. Celebrate your good fortune by eating some turkey with family and/or friends on Thanksgiving Day. Or celebrate with strangers at one of the community meals being provided in Racine. Or stay at home alone and eat a frozen turkey TV dinner, for all I care. I don’t even care if it’s turkey. Please give thanks for what you have and share what you can with those less fortunate with you. That is what is important. An attitude of gratitude.

Thank you, my dearest, most loved Irregulars and regulars. Thank you for reading my blog, and thank you for being you. I enjoy every moment that you spend with me. Thank you so much.

Give thanks, or else: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.

Thank the Great Spirit for life, for love, forever. And don’t forget to button up your overcoats because you never know when the weather will suddenly shift, especially in November. Have a wonderful week, my dears. Stay centered. Samshu!
