Daily Notes- September 23

Balance.  That's the word for today.  Goodwill.  I found a book for a dollar -Julie and Julia.  I have the movie saved in the TiVo files.  But sometimes you want to read the story.

I also found, for $3, about 2.5 yards of an Alexander Group fabric--Everglades.  All the colors I like. Shades of red, turquoise, green, gold, orange.  Long, graphic leaves.  Will work as a binding and as a nice stripe or square cut across the long leaves.  When we used to visit California every October--I would buy many, many yards from the Alexander Group line.  I'm sure some of them are still on the shelves in the fabric closet.  And I suspect they will co-ordinated well with this newcomer. I have always liked the same colors.  The slim lines of light turquoise light up the other colors.

Read A Likes recommended Mary Alice Monroe if I enjoyed reading Jude Deveraux and Nancy Thayer.  Close but not very good.  I won't try any more.

I haven't been reading much lately anyway.  In late August to October allergies affect my eyes.  Making them dry and sticky at the same time.  Making me very tired.  No stitch.  No reading. Just me and Hallmark which is finally getting on my nerves.  This infatuation may be close to ending--but Christmas movies start on October 29th.  Eighteen New Ones.  Plus all the old ones I liked.

I am baking granola right now--it smells wonderful.  Cinnamon, vanilla, coconut plus coconut oil, almonds, oats, maple syrup plus my additions of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.  Next time I may try subbing some honey for some of the maple syrup.

Grace has me interested in finding my drawing pencils.  Drawing myself and the Full Moon. I can draw--I just don't do it much at all.  Perhaps Grace will get me back to it.  To the Attic.  Pencils.
