Friday

 Today was a little of this and that.  

There was sewing and the next 100 burps were finished.  I plan to deliver another 100 to Ginny Sunday.  I moved on to sewing a few more burps but with no significant number to show for the effort.  

The call came that the Honda was finished and Bozo and the grandfather clock got to go back home.  Then we were on to Aldi's for another week or more of groceries.  I always try to do a bit of stretching of food.  At one time they were cheaper.  They still might be but the tab always seems to be higher.  We're not the only ones to experience an up tick in the grocery bill.  Yikes. How high will it go?


                                            The fairy world has moved into the dining room.  

  There was a walk around the yard and I think I've filled the last B Blue with Dahlia and Canna being the exception. They need a killing frost and it doesn't seem to be coming soon.  It's just terribly dry.

Doug did the wash and folding what needed folding happened.  That says for sure it's Friday.  I am grateful for his washing help.  

Supper was another good garden salad coming from someone else's garden.  There was plenty of parsley to add but I forgot.  I did get some tomatoes added from the volunteer just outside the patio door.

                        I took this picture yesterday.  Today at least half of the leaves have fallen.  

We were talking about our Thanksgiving's in Georgia while eating tonight.  I miss the grocery visit coming immediately upon arrival.  What a hoot those were with Rick bringing up the rear.  That was a true gift to all of us. Thanks again and again Rick.

So it was another good Friday.  I call it good if we can just keep up with it.  And we did!

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
