Saturday


                                            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 and winter attire is stored.  And what was worn out and over the hill got sent to the fabric recycling bag and eventually to the recycling B Blue. That took quite a while but all is set for winter now in the bedroom. windows were checked and where locking was needed that helps to keep out the winter breezes, locking happened. 

            Still very happy this afternoon.  I just couldn't pull them up. I left all of them in their spot.

I spent part of the day doing some prep work with burp fabric.  Just the beginning parts but on three different fabrics.  It was a ripping morning with more ripping needed. 

The afternoon was football time with Ohio State and University of Indiana on the docket.  Woo.  Indiana almost pulled it off but the player's foot crossed the out of bounds line in the end zone.  The winning touch down did not happen.  Bummer.  

More football was watched while more knitting happened.  I made a point of cutting flowers this afternoon.  There is a promise of frost tonight.  This is a promise that I hope isn't kept but probably will be kept.  There are so many huge canna plants with beautiful leaves that will be no more.  I'll miss them.  So fingers crossed.  There was killing frost at the JB/Kimmy ranch last night. 

                                        We'll see if the little Noah pond changes over night.

There will be more football tonight.  The WNBA played the first of a possible seven games today.  I missed them. Football got in the way.  Dah!

 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.                ...
