Great Day
With a day of sunshine, it feels like a great day for fall to have hung around. Leaves are dancing every which way. Neighbors are putting up Christmas lights even though the ladder seems to want to give way to the strong winds.
In a time gone by, I might have been right out there making sure the holiday lights were in perfect position fighting with timers for maximum effect. I will be sure to enjoy the neighbor’s hard work when the lights will be on.
Jan from next door came over and enjoyed the guest chair in my bedroom porch. Easy visiting as we watched traffic. Jan marvels at the perfect spot I have to keep my thumb on the happenings.
Dennis has also had a day of fellows dropping in for chit chat in the patio porch. Everyone seems to be enjoying the last vestiges of fall. Once all of the job jars have been emptied, the slower pace sets in and it is good for the soul.
I have enjoyed acknowledging the year of 2026 and all that it will entail celebrating our nation. With quite a bit of turmoil in and around our state’s political statis, it came easily to plunk in some stitching. Dad’s woodworking is the perfect place to showcase items as events present themselves.
Small stitching projects are satisfying when the actual stitching is done. The rest of the story . . . the finishing, takes on its own challenge. Patience is all that is required. I know from watching others on YouTube’s floss tube that many send off the raw stitching and pay someone else to finish it. Man, oh man, that really changes the whole idea of self-satisfaction. I will continue working with glue on my fingers and pins poking me when I least expect it.
This evening it is a waffle/sausage type of supper.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
