This 'n That ~

WOW!  We are already in to the second week of September.  The days are changing much too quickly for my liking.  Chilly in the morning, warm during the day, and getting dark oh so early.  The gardens are looking tired and the annuals even more so.  Thankfully the deer waited until last week to start eating my large hostas.

Soon this will be just a fond memory of summer.

Tomorrow, hooker/vendor partner in crime Melissa and I are leaving bright and early for the Woolkeepers hook in in Danville, Indiana, a five hour trip.  It is a Friday eve/Saturday hook in.  Wish us good sales!  I have been busy making more of the applique pumpkins.  With my luck, this time they won't sell 😁  One just never knows what will.  These appear so simple, but they take much more time than I would have imagined.

I am so afraid for our country.  As you are all aware, Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our beloved country.  With all that has transpired in the last month, I am terrified.  I can remember exactly where I was when the first news came out about a plane hitting the World Trade Center, and I watched in horror as the second tower was hit.  For a couple days I was glued to the TV when not at work, but had to stop watching because I cried nonstop.  I am even getting teary eyed just writing about it.  Please pray for our Country.

May God Bless America

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs 😊

NEVER EVER ~

Catching Up ~ This 'n That

Total randomness today ~

Every 9-11 I post asking that one NEVER forgets what happened to this great Land of ours that day.  I was out of town on the 11th, so better late than never.

Tomorrow fall will officially arrive.  So not happy (like I can do anything about it).  Picture snagged from the internet.

Yesterday was a near perfect day.  A little hot but with a wonderful breeze, hooking on the shores of Lake Erie for the day was heaven.  A small hook in put on by an individual, it is always a first class event.  Thank you, Rita, for this wonderful day.

She kindly asks me to vend each year.  It is so nice because I get to sit and hook all day and people track me down if they want to purchase something :)   A  couple close ups of my goods.

I did some goldenrod dyeing.  I forgot to take a picture before soaking, so here is one of the wet wool.

It's hard to see the difference, but the wool is a subtle yellow color.

After having been MIA for quite some time, my frog has returned.  Marly reports that it's a lithobates clamitans and by its coloring is a female.  Thanks, Marly.  Glad she is back :)

So hard to believe but it's been THREE years since my retirement.  Time flies when you are having fun and I'm having a ball :)

Last but not least.  I have a guest today.  She loves to follow the sun around the dining room.  What a cutie patootie.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Pug hugs :)

God Bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
