Happy Monday! And happy Autumn too! The days are getting shorter and colder, while the leaves of the trees are getting more colorful each day!

Happy Monday to everyone! It’s October and the final quarter of 2019 has begun its countdown. Earlier this year, I wrote a blog entry called “Spring into Cleaning” [March 25, 2019].
