Today I made a mile-high apple pie. It's for supper, before we leave for choir. This week has been one of recovery for my poor husband, who has THE flu. The rest of us are keeping healthy, and I'm not sure why. This flu is nasty, and the man who is never sick has been in bed for a week.
Despite the flu we were able to trundle back to Chicago for a college reunion (25 years) and saw many old friends.
I was encouraged. This class doesn't have many well-known names and faces, but the general group is first class in so many ways. It was delightful to see God working in people's lives, comparing stories and seeing so many things we still have in common in seeking God's will. I've been happy-spirited all week, contrary to last week!
God knows what we need to encourage our hearts and minds.
Reading lots of books right now: David Breese, "Seven Men Who Rule From the Grave," "Sarah's Key," "Growing up in Macbeth's Castle," a novel by Zane Grey, and another by Louis L'amour, "The witness Lied," and all the books we're doing for school. Finished "King of the Wind" yesterday. Love that one each time!
No news on the bees, but they are happily buzzing around a beautiful October garden. My annuals have withstood the first hard freeze, but the pumpkin vines are done. The mum/peony garden is a delight to my eyes! Waves of fall color. Indoors, the carpet is ripped up and the house is at odds and ends, but the golden glow of October light makes it all pretty. Looking forward to the new laminate floors throughout the whole house.
No job news yet. We're hoping for a breakthrough soon!
I hear a woodpecker trying to save our cedar siding from infestation.
Hope he/she doesn't do too much damage!
Yesterday we all saw a weasel-like creature running around the yard. Exciting! Fat and sleek, we weren't close enough to identify it exactly. Today Misty Corgi came in from her morning outing with bite marks on her nose. She ran into some unfriendly animal.
Off to sing------"Be humble, Be humble Bumblebee!!!" Very catchy and fun song!
