Another trip around the sun! Fall is here again and I've given in and turned on the heat. We've 'done' the Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine and what a wonderful event that is. Takes me a week to recover tho. We have one more retail show coming up the first weekend in November down in Boston. Another year is closer to ending than it seems!
I haven't been doing any deep thinking lately <grin> but rather just trying to get thru the tasks at hand such as cleaning out the pantry/laundry room, getting the last of the garden taken care of, keeping up with my daughter and her school work and getting those orders out the door. I've been neglecting my family a little - those who live away - and I've got to get back on the stick and make some phone calls. That little nagging feeling in the back of the head needs to be put to rest. I don't know about you but I haven't done ONE SINGLE THING to get ready for the upcoming year end holidays either. The pressure is on!
One of the cats has what I think is Cystitis (can't spell that) and I've ordered an herbal formula for her, poor baby. Lost a few quail to a predator before we found a small hole in the cage. It will be time to move the quail indoors soon as they winter over in the barn just outside the studio door. They are so small that I don't like to leave them out in the elements. Also found a pair of bats nesting in the top of the barn but we left them alone - they are welcome to stay as they eat lots of bad things. I lost one of my cats, Baby, last week. She just didn't come home. Couldn't find any sign of her poor thing.

I need to start working on my xmas designs... heck... I need to start working on Valentine's day designs!!! Always have to think 6 months ahead and that's not always easy when I'm still trying to get thru the day at hand....

Well that's all for today. Take care of youselves and your loved ones.
