Daily Notes- September 22nd- 61 degrees


My sewing room table.  The place where I machine sew.  I made a few masks here.  I sewed knee patches on daughter's work pants.  I patched holes in my summer pants. I have Christmas Potholders (Connie) all ready for quilting.  Then I need  to make binding strips.  But I do want to have the potholders done for gifts this year.  Last year- I just didn't finish in time.  Those are fake daffodils that actually need to be washed.  Very dusty.

I have on socks and corduroy long pants and a thermal long sleeved tee.  No sweater.  Yet.  The furnace is set at 60.  The rooms are all 60.  The sun is out and I was hoping things would warm up "naturally" but it seems... it won't.  I did a load of dark clothing- mostly husband's gardening clothing.  I tossed in my black linen capri pants.  When they are dry- they will get folded and put on the shelf in the closet until next year. It seems like I didn't get enough Summer this year.

I also added the Birthday Pants my daughter got at Goodwill. Mushroom Brown. Soft wide wale corduroy.  Very nice.  Men's pants but that's okay.  I need to remove the cuffs and give the pants a flat hem.  After they come out of the washer and drier.  In case....they get shorter in the wash and dry.

My book- The Matchmaker by Hilderbrand- well, the ending is so sad.  I got tired of crying.  So now I am reading, same author, Blue Bistro.  Totally different.  I am reminded that I liked the book- we'll see.  It's been years since I first read it.  The library has Andrews 2020 book- Hello, Summer waiting for pickup.  If we go out in the car- I will get it curbside. Too cold for ice cream.  That ship has sailed as well.

What I would LOVE to do is go to the Sea Dog for a bowl of French Onion Soup.  But we can't do that. And French Onion Soup is not "take out " food.  The change in weather also screwed up breakfast. I have boxes of cold cereal and what I should be eating now is hot cereal.  After eating my cold cereal- I am cold inside and out. I need to retreat to the couch and my down blanket.  No dog to warm my feet this year.

Husband took the AC units out.  Both in about 30 minutes.  No need to call daughter for emergency rescue. Both units are on the garage workbench.  Husband even put the screens back in all the windows- in case we have a warm snap.  We had a few minutes of wondering about the install being so horrible.  No idea why. Another of those "mysteries" that no one ever understands- afterward.
