September Thoughts

I love September, I always have. Sad to say though, it seems do I dare say the ether, is working over time to ruin the month. I work so hard and being positive in an very negative, changing world. That is all I am going to say about it. I do say every day to myself. Focus on the good, on the good. So Pumpkins are good. Maybe next year, I will just give my flowerbeds over to growing pumpkins. Every place I go, I always have to go over and look at the pumpkins. 

 

This week, my husband got the news, that the company he works for will be selling to an competitor. 

We just went though this last year. Now we are repeating it again. Do you hate repeating challenges?  

I keep wondering, what didn't we learn last time? I love this quote by John Bunyan. " I have found the bottom and the ground is firm." Its still firm. All other is sinking sand. 

I did dye wool on Tuesday. I got some amazing colors. Nice fall colors. I should have taken pictures before I sat down to write. Just take my word for it. Nothing gives me more joy than dyeing wool. 

Now I can finish the projects I couldn't because I just hated the yellow I have. Do you do that? If you have a color and its just so hard to try and get past it? I kept staring at the yellow I had, and I knew I couldn't even cut one strip because I hated it so much. I dyed it and now I can use it.  

Now I can finish it. I am much further, the bottom sunflower is finished and the green is finished now the background behind the rooster and the background. Nice work to accomplish today. We have clouds! Dark clouds with promises of hail, lighting and we are under a flood watch. I believe its called Hurricane Mario.

The weather man said its been 105 days since we have had rain. So I am looking forward to it. Weather in California is not the same and anywhere else. Weather in other states is serious. 

I will stop for now. I thought I should check in, or my blog is going to go stale again, I don't want that to happen. My new computer is so very nice. 

Have a delightful Thursday,
