IN Carmel

 Another new beginning.  I'll take it any day and today it happened again.  It's wonderful to have another chance at living another day.                                                          Butterfly bush still blooming but not for long. After Doug's breakfast which I think is late and he thinks is early...we were on our way to church to look for the elusive purse once again.  And we looked and looked and decided it was gone wishing we knew how and where.  The banner closet door needed to be locked so I thought to look one more time in that storage closet..  Well, there it was, just where I left it but didn't have a clue about it's location.  I hid it so well that I just couldn't find it under a bunch of black plastic B and Bowl bags.  Dah. The lost had been found and I f...

 A new day!  And there was no dream last night.  Bummer.  Where was God with an answer. Sometimes we need to wait because the answer will come in a still small voice. I'm beginning to think the purse is in some container since I couldn't see it sitting anywhere.  I continue to think!!!                                                                                 The last of the fall asters.  Today was a bit different.  I worked on all the things I brought home from church yesterday in the morning. It was something different to tweak my brain. The circles for the candles are done.  Well, at least one set is finished.  I need to go to H H to purchase five more rings.   Such a rich blue with gold e...

                                This little guy always has a smile.  It's just what I needed to see today.  Dear St. Anthony, please come around Lela's purse is missing and cannot be found.  More about that later! I could also add the name Lela and her horrible, no good, very bad day.  Some days are like that... So the day started out with the usuals and knitting for a spell, then off to pick up Noah and and off to church we went for Noah's morning at soup kitchen and bell work and my morning starting to do a few Christmas things among other things.  There are always other things.                One of the last.  I'll be digging soon.  The paper bags are ready for dahlia tubers for storing                          over the winter.  I'm ...

                                                                             A few blooms are hanging on. Today was a gang buster day when it came to burps.  The hammer came down and now there are seventy burps in the container. I started the day with 10.  I'm ALL out of flannel so until I find some everything is on hold.  I've used up every little scrap left over from some other burp project.  Ginny should have plenty but something started needs to end up finished.  Tomorrow on my way home from church I hope to remember to look at other stores that usually come through.  The usual places are not stocked with flannel sheets.                          ...

 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...
