It is very dark out this morning.  It will be interesting to see what the daylight brings. 

It is coldest just before dawn.   Can't say coldest, considering it is in the high 60's, but definately cooler.

Today is one of worship.. thanking our Lord for all the blessings he gives us, far too many to count..  He loves us and we love Him.  It couldn't be more simple.  We are just unable to love as much as He does.. and we should continue to seek such a state.  Through Him all things are possible.

Not so sure what we will be doing today other than church.. if I make it.  Still quite punk, and feeling as though activities will be limited.

Get a few things ready to sell,  start deciding what else to clear out.  I really would like the things we keep mean something special, and not be a lot of it.

Make housekeeping simpler, as well as easier to see.  It will mean giving up things I'd dearly love to keep, but they'd not mean anything special to anyone else..   guess a time comes to let go of more.  Make it easier on the ones who clean our things away one day and be able to enjoy and even more let us enjoy the things we do keep.

I'm not so sure I enjoy very early morning musings.. seems depressing somehow.. almost like the dark outside but its inside me.

It will be at least another hour before sunup.

I have a QoV to make by the 21st,  my two show entries, must be entered by the 15th, and one will be entered for Roland.   I also want to get  the challenge quilt put together.. just a little 30 by 30"  of the Harvest in and around Sanford.  I still have the finishing touches to put on the pumpkin name tag.  In all it is going to be a few very busy weeks.   I still have quilt labels to make, they go so fast when we think we've made enough.   I need to get very serious and get about 50 extra made.. I did some, just not enough to get me through all this fair stuff and then the UFO's I've finished, have a tag on but the info not totally filled out.  Bad way of doing it.  I am going to begin putting the label onto the back, before it is on the frame, so I can put it on by machine, and not worry about doing the hand work later.

One special order I had fell through, and I can understand why.  She has so many places that she can use the money to do good for others, rather than just spend it on something for herself.  Those are her very unselfish words.

The other, I'm thinking is going to fall by the wayside, also.  The King Purple Quilt.. Just too odd the way it happened.  She didn't bat an eye on the price, and wants me to send her swatches of fabric of purple a bit on the mauvy side.  Costs run far too high to do all that.. plus the shopping, the selling out of the print/fabric/color, and not being restocked.  These all have to be mailed to her, snail mail, then wait until she gets back to me.  Could be 10-15 days.

More reflections I see.   Time to push back the clouds, pull up the sun, wake up the birds, and stir up some animals. 

Enjoy a blessed, blessed day.
