Hi everyone,
Time for my weekly update..It was a busy week.. not a lot to share.. but a little stitching is still a good thing.

My threads of the month from Colour & Cotton arrived on Monday. Gunmetal, Oregano, Silver Lining, Black Walnut, and Harvest Wheat (forgot to take a picture).
Reading:
Finished reading David Rosenfelt Hounded.
Other:
Monday was Dr. for Dad - his foot has healed up nicely.
Tuesday was Dad's visit to the cardiologist - they kept him for about 1.5hr to help him reduce the costs of his medicine.
Wednesday was DH's car inspection.
Thursday Macey saw her friends at the vets office and she got her Lyme booster shot. She's lost 5.5# (now she's 101#) since her teeth cleaning last month. Vet was very pleased. We mentioned that she's been chewing hew feet- not sure it it's her winter coat or how dry everything has been this summer - vet said she might have seasonal allergies.. so we are trying her on a specific allergy pill (apoquel) to see if it helps. So far so good.
Friday was a few errands.
We thought about going to the apple orchard this weekend. I called and found that they had 4 varieties ready.. macs, ginger golds - yum!, zesters -DH can't have these as they raise his blood sugars... and sweet tangos- yum! yum! One of my favorites (honeycrisps) won't be picked for another week to 10 days.. so we'll make the trip then. Another favorite is snapdragon but we can't get that one at that orchard.. that's a different trip.. and thankfully those and the ruby frost apples are now available at our not so local grocery store.
Fall is in the air... colors have just begun to turn.
We did see 2 hummingbirds this week.. but the past two nights we've had a hard frost.. no sign of them today... Time to find another feathered friend to watch.
More change to our snowball bush... we'll have to re-shape it -- this is the bush the tree landed on last fall and this spring we were still picking up the branches.
We've been seeing the deer and turkeys daily. This group is part of a flock of 10.
Until next time,
Have a wonderful day! Lisa M.
