A fluorescent orange…. It seems like the trees change every year… which ones change color first, their shades of yellow and orange.I’m grilling pork ribs for Chelsey and friend who came home yesterday. I’ve never done them before… always had Don to do it, so this should be interesting.
The pumpkins are beginning to turn orange. These are Baby Bear pumpkins.
I give them regular pep talks about growing to their full potential and getting the color game going.
All twenty blocks for my Harvest Home quilt are complete.
The wind get blowing leaves on the blocks--- so I decided they were meant to be there... I have to square them up and attach the borders. The inner borders will be Muslin. The outer borders, I‘m thinking, will be six-inch in width and will be a selection of the Blackbird Designs Harvest Home fabric line. It just depends on what I can get. I’m saving up for fabric.A long weekend – I made it that full week back to work. I definitely don’t have as much free time in the evenings. My Sunday school class got all new bulletin boards for Fall. We now have a “Pumpkin Patch” of Bible verses.
I’m definitely tired of being angry and sad over the entire job loss thing for Don. It’s wasted energy and I don’t want to look back and say I missed out on life being angry over something I have no control over.
Things happen for a reason….Life goes on.

The leaves on your quilt blocks are lovely.
This adjustment season that you are in now is with you for a reason. It seems like you have the ability to count your blessings even in times of trouble. Be kind to yourself.
Love the quilt blocks and I can't wait to see the end result. Your trees always look so beautiful this time of year.
My DH just lost his job in a really bad turn of events. Like you, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth being angry over. He's actually much happier and relieved that he can move on & be away from a bad situation. He will be deployed in January and this gives him a chance to spend time with our kiddos before he leaves. Gotta find a silver lining somewhere, right?
Hello....helllo....where are yo??? I keep looking and you're not there? Is everything OK? Rainbow smiles...Gloria
