Friday

 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 end of the year Dahlia picture.

I U North Cancer Center wasn't very busy which helped a lot and I got what I needed with no rescheduling. 

It was back home for a while with knitting on the schedule in the chair.  One more scarf was finished with another one started.  The number of scarves continue to grow.  

The afternoon brought a trip to the bank.  Since I was going north I stopped at H. H. for ON SALE yarn buying three skeins.  The Goodwill store received a stop finding more flannel fabric which I left hanging.  I continue to look for better pricing.  


            A box of marigold seeds drying.  They still are beautifully filled with flowers in the garden.

Back home to fold wash and make a new granola snacking food.  I've been a bit poky getting that made. The outcome...a bit disappointing.  I'll spend my money on something else. 

So the day inside the house sort of reflects the outdoors.  Not much has happened that is different.  Sort of the same old same old.

 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.                ...
