Happenings

 

Good morning! How are you? 

Around here it's the same old happenings. I am completely over the summer weather and want the cold weather. My fingers are crossed the cold weather comes this week like it's supposed to arrive. Regardless of the temperatures, it looks like fall. I placed my winter bird feeder out and put the thistle feeder away. In less than an hour, woodpeckers and chickadees arrived! We bring in this bird feeder every single night because of our resident raccoon. The trick is to remember to bring it in at sunset.

I've knitted each night this past week and finished one of the Christmas stockings for our new grandson, three weeks old already! I'm eager to meet him. I also started knitting star Christmas ornaments. I have to be careful with my hands and not create a flare up, so I only knit for an hour on this project.

Holly loves to look outside and chirp at the chipmunks and birds. I wonder what she is thinking?

I have a digital library book that is due in seven days, Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands. It's a fun read and it is the second of a trilogy. (I am half way through).

The tree foliage colors might be drab from the lack of rain, but my mums are looking spectacular!! So happy to see them thrive in early autumn. The local grandkids are visit at our house at least twice a week, my husband and granddaughter were deadheading one of the mums. She loved it!!
