Yesterday was the best day we had in months! No smoke, a light breeze and temperature got into the lower 80*s. It’s been so long but will be shortly lived. The wind direction is shifting and the heat is coming. We expect mid 90*s, strong winds and the smoke to come and blanket us once again. At least some of the fires are contained and a few put out. Others grow in acreage. Those are the ones we will see the smoke from. We pray no new fires start. <br /><br />Cleaning house and work on NICU smocks. A replacement fence is going up between us and the uphill neighbors. That will complete the task of new fences all around. We hope it lasts 30 years as it is made of redwood.

I hate shopping even at the best of times but having to get up that early and deal with post-long weekend shortages in the the store is enough to drive me mad. It's SO stressful! I'm not totally 'up' on the history of Columbus but I always thought he had his nerve thinking he discovered America when everybody knows it was already occupied.

I guess the appliances is because of supply chain inventory delays. Sadly, we haven't lacked for election ads. As far as a no mail day, we hardly notice since we get so little mail these days anyway. Glad you survived another shopping trip and had the afternoon to de-stress in the sewing room.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-12028495537309444722020-10-13T06:00:51.453-07:002020-10-13T06:00:51.453-07:00I love your rants and todays was so good.

It's wet and rather cool here and stitching binding on a large quilt would be very a welcome and warming task.

I took Mom grocery shopping a couple days ago - handling her is a single project. And then the next day did my own - luckily our little store 2 miles up the road is not a source of stress.

We mostly call it "no mail day," a sad event for those, like us, who get excited at every letter and package. It is cold and damp here, too, with vegetable beef soup simmering on the stove.I need to learn to do a proper binding match, my trianges are not so neat as yours, and neither are my strips.gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-70585852275053359542020-10-12T07:35:54.471-07:002020-10-12T07:35:54.471-07:00A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what shi...A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. ~ John A.
