We're already half-way through the final full week in September. My, how time flies. I had so many plans for this month, but someone had other ideas. Even so, I shall not lament. Rather, I'll embrace my circumstances and do my best.
I'll be working on my bluebirds for a bit today, but Handsome has an appointment this morning, and our monthly classmate dinner is this afternoon. I'll share a photo of our gathering tomorrow, and promise an update of my bluebirds on Friday.
The days are beginning to get "crisp". My favorite time of year is right around the corner. Soon, I'll be stitching in my favorite sweaters, and before we know it, I'll be working on Christmas projects.
Life is good, and I'm one Lucky Girl.
Yes, September is almost gone already, But I also love October.
ReplyDeleteA nice candle burning, warm cider, & stitching. :)

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI do, too! All the "ber" months...September, October, November, December. Your candle, cider and stitching sounds divine!

Seems like just yesterday school was starting and now the month is nearly over. HOW does that happen?!! I have a love/hate relationship with fall - love the colours and all the wonderful fall produce, but then I remember that it leads right into the white stuff which I can cheerfully live without. I'm hoping for a very long fall!
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI know, right? I try to focus on fall and not look ahead. I'm a little concerned with the slippery stuff this year - for obvious reasons. I'm thinking of buying some "grippers" for Handsome's shoes. My sister and her husband got them before a trip to Alaska, where they planned to hike a glacier. She swears by them and gave me a link for the ones they got. Not metal, so they won't damage floors, but definitely keeps one from sliding and falling. Even so, a long fall (until about May) would suit me just fine, too.

I've thought of getting some of those grippers too - I'm terrified of ice because I don't want to fall, and after RC's pratfall in the furniture store a few days ago I worry about him too. Any chance you could put the link to these on your blog?
Deleteabsolutely! I'll share it on Monday, dear.

Such wisdom: "...I shall not lament. Rather, I'll embrace my circumstances..." So much joy can be found when we do not focus on the circumstances and challenges, but rather on the One Who gets us through those things. Thank you for your openess and always encouraging! Enjoy your classmates... and Handsome's continued progress! Looking forward to seeing the bluebirds 🙂
ReplyDeleteDear Lois:
DeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed that. It really spoke to me, too. It would be easy to spend my time fretting, but it really steals joy, so I try to focus on the good. We had a great time at dinner last night - new classmates showed up, which was fun. Handsome had PT in the morning, and they're really happy with his progress. I'm hoping to show some "birdy" progress on Friday. Fingers crossed.

End of September already, wasn't it just Memorial Day two weeks ago??
ReplyDeleteI do wish the Fall was much longer. I love this time of year, except for the
leaf pick up part.
Enjoy your dinner tonight.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteLiving out in the country has its perks. We mow up until the snow falls (not soon, please), but there is no leaf raking. We leave them on the ground for the insects, and as another place for the squirrels to hide the hickory nuts they beat me to. (I know. Wasn't that a "dutchy" sentence? lol) Dinner was really lovely. We're already looking forward to the next one!
