Monday morning
Mondays have a bad reputation and to be honest when there is a chill in the air, I find it hard to crawl out from under the covers to start the day. But I don't mind Mondays - in fact, I kind of like them. I'm not the most disciplined person in the world and having to get up and go somewhere works for me. I think if today was forecast to be rainy and cool, I would be a little less enthused to get up and at 'em.
But it is 6 am, I've been up for an hour and a half, the chicken is waiting to be let out of her coop, the cats are waiting for 2nd breakfast, the goats are waiting for something - I don't know what - and the ducks are waiting for their morning snack of dog food.
It is going to be a beautiful, happy day!

Last of the tomatoes
This summer I've made tomato pie, fried green tomatoes, tomato sandwiches, and tomatoes whole - just out of my hand! That's one thing nice about seasons. The lack of something - whether it is a fresh tomato or snow or colorful leaves - just makes us appreciate it even more.
After many, many years of trying, my first good biscuits! |
I think about our congregation about how I'm one of the younger members and there aren't many people there younger than me. About 80% of our congregation is in their 60s and above. I really dread the day that I look out my kitchen window and don't see cars in the parking lot and beloved church members walking through those red doors.

Return to summer
Thursday
I'm finally finishing up some projects hat have been sitting around. The wallhanging above is one that I put off because I'm more of a quilter than I am a embroiderer. I must say though, that I completely enjoyed embroidering this one. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I bought the pattern and fabric about 4 years ago because loving Halloween as much as I do, it really caught my eye.
I have 1 quilt that has been 'in progress' for about 3 years and I will begin on that very soon. It is a paper-pieced Storm at Sea and I honestly think I need my head examined for doing a pp'ed quilt of that size. She doesn't know it yet but I think I will bribe my mom into helping me remove the papers one weekend.
It's really a great feeling to finish up these projects. It makes me feel less guilty about starting a new project! I also need to finish about 8 baby quilts. I just found out that 1 of these babies for whom I was making an I Spy quilt just started kindergarten. But even at that age, I think he will like an I Spy quilt. Who wouldn't?
