IN Carmel

 Today was a simple day.  It reminds me of sing me a simple song.  Just thinking...I don't hear the word simple used very often.  We usually have days filled and crammed full of things to do.  So, having a simple describe the day should be included with those days that are not so simple.  Sounds healthy to me.                                                           A s upper treat for the eyes! The colors are perfect. Simple started with a great wake up, breakfast and then a bit of knitting.  Not much but just a bit.  After that I started working on the 50 some burps that were torn yesterday and ready for the first sew around on the machine.  Then came the trimming and turning from inside to outside.  On to the ironing board and then the last sewing.  Folding...

 Today started pretty easy.  Then it got really hard and back to easy but with a very tired body!                                                                                    So pretty in the late afternoon sun. .   The weather could not have been better.  A perfect fall day with a great warm up with low humidity.  Just a perfect gift for October.  I ran out of yarn last night at the wrong place when knitting a scarf.  I tried some solutions but tore them out.  It just didn't work so that scarf is on the wait list.                   Still to get cut.  If I wait till January it will be dry and all over the yard.  Just a big mess...

 I would call this a slow down Sunday.                                                                                                       Still here! The morning started with frost but like most firsts but not all frosts, the white stuff stayed at the bottom of the hill in all the spots that I would say are lower than the house.  So the patio garden was saved as well as all the other gardens although most of them have been cleared of flowers.  But all of the flowers mentioned days ago are still with us.  This week will see warmer days back with us again.  So it's easy breathing time again to enjoy some color in the garden.   Another good night o...

                                                       All the good zinnias, plus a few other things.    I woke up after a great night of sleep.  I added an extra spread to the bed and was pleasantly warm.  That was until I got out of bed.  Brrrr.  The house was cold.  I let Doug determine when the furnace comes on and when he got up he went directly to the thermostat.  We had heat. I spent some of the morning turning the bed from summer to winter with the wool blanket added as well as the flower garden quilt.  I need flowers year around. Doug's long term B 12 issues and now my lazy Thyroid  might say electric blanket if the wool blanket is not enough.  I hope not.    I moved to another fall job digging through all three drawers where my stash of summer an...

 It's been a cloudy, gloomy, chilly day.  A harbinger of winter I would say.  I'm sure there will be more to come sprinkled in between the exact opposite sort of day.  So one could say...get use to it.  There will be more like any other fall or winter day we've lived through other years.   I really had a great night of sleep waking up around 8.  There was breakfast and knitting.  I knew I had to make another trip to I U North so I checked my iPhone for the time.  Gee Wizz.  It was an 8:30 appointment and the clock said 8:26 already.  So you can imagine I was on my way immediately not even turning off the TV.  All the round abouts worked their magic.  The car filled Keystone drivers were even helpful.  And I arrived at 8:44.  Woo. That was amazing to say the least.  I did 40 in a 35 zone just like everyone else.                        ...

 Another Thursday.  They just keep coming and that's fine with me.  At the beginning of the week it became apparent to me that there was something to do elsewhere every day of this week.  Yes, some weeks are like that even in Australia as Alexander would say.  Today was to be a morning with Noah at Bread and Bowl at North.  Well, last night I discovered it will be next Thursday.  Woo.  was I happy about that?  You bet.  Today was mine all day doing what I wanted to do all of it at home.  Well, almost.  I finished the last 10 burps so the next 100 burps are ready for the trip to Ginny.  I spent some time putting thread and more where they really belonged in the sewing room. Some fabric was trimmed and deposited in the recycle container.  So a few things like that just make where I work and what I'm looking at a little more pleasing and organized.  I would add, ready to mess up again at some point.  That took ...
