Hello

The rain has stopped temporarily, and the cooler weather has moved in.  It now feels like fall.  The horses even noticed and enjoyed the cooler temps.  I saw them from the window raising cane. I went to get the camera.  I didn't make it out before they were done.  I did get Scout looking at me as if to say, "ha, ha, you didn't catch us in the act!"

I have been in a pretty weird mood for the last week, so, I haven't felt like really blogging at all.  I took some of my plants out earlier in the season and the other day I decided to take the rest out while it was raining and wash some of the dust and other things that collect on them.  I will spray them with some stuff to get rid of any bugs that they may have.  I have that horrible scale bug all over some of my plants and that makes one heck of a mess.   I can wash some of my plants off by hand but, I have a couple of Jade plants, I would be washing them for ever!  So, I took them outside to wash them off.  They say that it won't work with rain water but I am going to give it a try.  With the slightly chillier weather, I am hoping that will take care of it.  Scale leaves a sticky residue all over the plant and any surface it is on, the floor, counters etc.  I had to wash the whole area that my plants usually are at.

I have been weaving the scarves that I have had on my little loom.  I had stopped weaving for a while then realized that a very nice blogger friend wanted a scarf and that I better get my behind in high gear and get it done!

Today is my shopping day, and I will probably get my hair done also.  The grey is showing through. :=(  Then back to weaving and tomorrow is the day I get ready for the hubby to come home for the weekend.  Change sheets on the bed, pick up the house (so, it can get messed up), cook a meal that will satisfy a hungry man, and so forth.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Indoor plants, not my favorite I have one I haven't killed yet it was given to me and I didn't want it but have it for now. I wanna see more weaving pics, that just interests me to no end. I still want a saddle blanket if you still make them....please :)

Crystal, I actually have one that I wove a couple of years ago. It is just a little larger than the normal ones. I will blog the saddle blanket and let me know. I will send you the measurements.

I finally decided to go grey. What a relief. I rather like my gray self!!
But not telling you to do so...I think it's important to do what makes you feel good.
