GLORIOUS COOL MORNING TEMPS TODAY. 63 degrees. Lovely relief from the Summer heatwave that we experienced this past month. Here it is September 9th already.
A l r e a d y. I rushed down to the local thrift shop to see if they still had children's hangers for sale. They did. Needing these to hang wet clothing to dry on that I am washing in WOOLITE.
This morning I washed a load of small children's clothing also a load of towels washing in WOOLITE. I wanted to see how this product cleaned large bath towels. Later I will go over to the COTTAGE to dry them and work inside. Hubby already went to the COTTAGE to plant the purple Heirloom Irises he popped out of one of our large flowerbeds at the main house.
He has faithfully been working on making new large flowerbeds at the COTTAGE as well as digging up the Heirloom Irises to plant in these new beds. It is a huge undertaking for an elderly man to accomplish, but he is determined to get this done before September ends. Our little backyard will be beautiful next Spring. I always look forward to the Spring Irises to bloom making a colorful statement.
I continue rounding up items to turn loose of. The pile is growing. This week-end I will thin out CHRISTMAS stuff. We will be arranging the Carriage House so there is room to store my two large Curio Cabinets until I figure out what to do with them. I no longer want them in the Dining room and when we relocate to the COTTAGE there will not be room for them. Praying for a new owner to come and take them off my hands. They are rather large, but beautiful.
GOALS this month are to gather up nic-nacs, clothing, pieces of furniture, etc. and turn loose of them. Continue to empty out the COTTAGE. Get new flowerbeds completely planted full of Irises. Stay faithful at not eating breads and staying away from sugar, eating more vegetables, fruit, little dairy and grass fed beef. Concentrate on eating as much organic as I can. Walk, talk and pray. SO September is a purging kind of month before AUTUMN blows in. Then OCTOBER will be a continuation of clearing out the COTTAGE. The Bathroom will be worked on and hopefully completely remodeled, up and running. I know I will be painting come OCTOBER. I will be able to open some windows so the fumes escape the inside making it easier to breath while painting.
I could see the tops of some trees on the way to TOPEKA were beginning to change a tad bit. I can't help, but say FALL is on her way here. I have mixed emotions about it because I know WINTER will not be far behind where it gets so cold I shiver thinking about it.
This morning I found out that my childhood friend did die. Her obituary is one of the best ones I have ever read. Described her well. She had a very rare endometrial cancer. Her brother died just last August with brain cancer and Shelby's older sister has been battling breast cancer. All having lived in Southwest Kansas when growing up. Cancers are well known in Southwest Kansas. So many cases. It's disturbing. Her advice: “Enjoy life here on earth; it’s short. Be kind and full of love and encouragement for each other.” One person can make a huge wonderful difference in this world. She loved Jesus and you could tell. She was vibrant and very outgoing. PAUSE. Say a prayer for her loved ones left behind.
Yesterday I found out that my older brother was diagnosed with Covid. He doesn't have any symptoms yet. He had his vaccine last Winter. So this is interesting. My Mom and Sister were around him before he turned out positive. He had been checked before and was negative and so had they. I was around them last Friday, so I will keep tabs on them. This Covid thing is awful and I hate it. Disease in general, I hate it.
Now, I must go collect the towels out of the washing machine and head over to the COTTAGE. Work continues. Lunch will be Soup and Supper will be delicious.
Make today count. Deliberately be kind and determined to accomplish something good.
Amen,
~d 👵
