………..Last night………….In an exciting, nail biting 10th inning with two outs and Soto facing two strikes……..SOTO …….hits a 3 run home run to advance the Yankees 5 to 2 over Cleveland!!!!……and WEAVER…the Yankee’s closer finished the job in glorious fashion!….Previously, Stanton hit a home run to tie the score 2 to 2, and Judge did his share too by getting on base….”THE THRILL OF VICTORY, and the AGONY OF DEFEAT”…..Now, the Yankees are in the WORLD SERIES!!!!!…..which they haven’t been in since 2009!!!!!……………GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!

……………………..In a nail biting finish to last nights game the NY YANKEES were VICTORIOUS!!!!…..That makes it 3 games for the Yankees and 1 game for Cleveland…..If the Yankees win one more they go into the WORLD SERIES…..something they have not accomplished in TOO MANY YEARS!!!!…………….GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

………………….I’ve talked about my “Lantern Bug” problem before…..and there are still more than I can count……Cathy recommended I buy this yellow sticky tape you put around the trunk of the trees…..So I got the tape….and sticky it is! So far all I’ve caught is a few flies, and two yellow jackets….NO lantern bugs……I’ve killed more Lantern Bugs with my spray bottle of Dawn dish soap and hot water!…..But I’m not giving up hope….The tape is there, and we will see what happens? These trees always have those pesky bugs on them, but so far none have taken the “bait”!…….I’ll just have to be patient….not one of my virtues….LOL

………………….How breathtaking was the ……..SUPER MOON…….last night!……It’s also called the “Hunter’s Moon”……..This full moon takes place when the moon is closest to the planet Earth, that’s why it looks so BIG……My pictures do not do it justice. I don’t think any pictures could possibly be a beautiful and magnificent as seeing the real thing……I am so lucky to be able to see it rise above the water with it’s reflection gleaming in the Sound. Tonight it will be the “full” moon, though it looked pretty full to me last night. I will definitely be on my rocker outside with a hot cup of tea and a blanket waiting for the SUPER MOON once again!

………………..The YANKS ARE ON A ROLL!…..Last night they pulled out a VICTORY over Cleveland….two in a row!….Besides the fact that they won….Aaron Judge hit his first homerun of the playoff games! The crowd went wild!….Now a travel day off, and on to Cleveland where hopefully they will win the whole thing…..and then on to THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!
