Saturday

 

                                                            Still blooming but not for long.

My night time sleep awake habits are usually doughnuts with a big hole in the middle of the night.  Last night the oil to make doughnuts was not turned on till around 2.  The night is full of surprises.  So today was a lazy day.  Thank goodness there were no little children to take care of.  Doug is pretty independent so it's just me to take care of myself.  What a gift.  

The morning was filled with yarn ripping and knitting once again.  I was determined to finish the big yarn big needle scarf without buying another skein of fat yarn.  To do that I needed to make some adjustments which meant try, try, try again.  I got it done with three tries.  Mission accomplished.  No more big yarn, big needles although the process goes pretty fast. 


                    I say I'm ready for some cold weather.  Yup.  It's a pretty hot scarf but comfy.

There was texting with Ohio sports friend Nancy.  She told me lazy on a Saturday with football was just fine.  Those are two things that go together easily.  I agreed.  So Ohio is the first game followed by Indiana being the second game.  And woven all through those games was a bit of sleep. I suspect sleep took care of the boring parts of the game.  Well, I'm just saying.  

The kitchen table is full of things to go to church tomorrow.  The stack grows bigger every day.  It must be Advent season soon.  Ginny is getting a few things.  Bows are being delivered and the refreshed candles will find their spot in the candle closet.  Yes, we have a candle closet also with room for a few other things.  We did move the wedding candles to another spot.  They are used about once a year. 

I messed a bit with the Dahlia potatoes.  A good sharp snipping scissors was ordered from Amazon.  I'm reading that it's easy to spread disease easily from a diseased Dahlia to a health one so good sanitized tools are necessary.  The tubers are tough and clean cuts are needed  I would say Dahlias are not independent growers.  I think mine are disease free but some are full of holes.  There must be ground bugs enjoying them.  

I added a third football game to the Ohio and the Indiana games.  Both winners. I'm waiting for the Utah Arizona game.  Utah is suppose to have a pretty good team.  It's been moved back an hour because of the stop on aircraft yesterday.  I'm beginning to think my brain is suffering from football fog.  The evening brought another scarf start but the knitting pace is slow.  No hurry.

 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.                ...
