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.
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,
~Kim~

What lovely colors and design you have going. Lucky you to actually achieve the colors you're hoping to get.
Now that fall is near, wouldn't you normally get the rain then?
Pulling loops always calms me, give it a try and think it will work taking your mind off negatives.

World is sad and anxiety producing. I am trying to focus on my poor dry gardens that I am mostly cutting back right now for winter. Or working on something creative I am back to hooking again thankfully.
I hope you do not get the flooding. You could send some of that rain this way New England is very dry.

Beautiful photos and art. I wish you good health and happiness 😊
It's a good thing that you have your same husband, children, garden with pumpkins, and ability to dye wool. Those things are not changed, and they are your world. "The world" is somewhere else. Thanks for these pictures! Come on, now, your new computer makes it easy to post to your blog, right? So I agree, let there be no stale blog in your world. <3
"Every place I go, I always have to go over and look at the pumpkins." I love that. I, too, have an autumn soul and heart. Our weather is strange this year. We had such a wet spring and early summer and now our drought time has come. Each day they predict some rain and the following day the forecast is changed (or not) but never does the rain come. I'm weary of watering and, although most of my plants are looking bedraggled at this point, I can't just let them go for some reason. We've had frost, but no hard freeze yet here. Love the summer-like temps we have been enjoying, but not the dryness. I don't know how you manage it. Glad you got the color mix you were hoping for wool-wise. I'm just plain unproductive on all accounts.
