Hello September

"And the days grow short when you reach September."

September - 1
I think maybe it was Tuesday that I planned to work on Karen's quilt. Well, here it is Thursday, the first day of September, and I haven't set foot in the sewing room nor touched Karen's quilt. And I'm not sure I'll make it today.

Yesterday morning I served as my sister Ramey's driver as she went for her second and last cataract surgery. Surgery went well.

The rest of the day is sort of a blur. Since I had to wake up at dawn in order to get Ramey to her appointment on time, I was pretty sleepy when I got home. I tried to take a nap, but Taco didn't cooperate. Every time I dozed off, he planted his big body on top of me and sang the song of his people.

So why not sew today? I'll try, I will. But my knees are hurting and my allergies are acting up. But I am honestly going to try.

Glad to see September is here. The air is noticeably cooler already, and the little yellow butterflies are making their appearance.  I've even seen a little color coming out on the leaves. The ...ber months are my favorite time of year. I expect to perk up considerably now that they have begun.

Happy September everyone.

Am glad Ramey's 2nd surgery went well but am sorry it was scheduled so early in the day.
I'm happy to see September, too but it's till hot here - 88*F today and more of that for the week ahead. The problem is the high humidity and that's 91% this morning without rain in the forecast.
I'm slowly sewing borders for the SIC quilt but for me if there is a grocery trip, there is no sewing due to lack of energy. Bummer!
My autumn quilts will go up on the walls on the equinox but I already changed the LR pillows.

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
