just finished cutting all the floral (nearly nouveau) kits and now must sit and fold. thought i’d take a break before i do that, as it will take me all evening, at least. and i will have to go to bed early! tomorrow is ‘meet the teachers’ and i must go do my 3 minutes on stage. we have to leave bobbie’s house at 7:00 A.M.! yikes. that means i must leave here by 6:40 at the latest. which means i am up very very early if i do my usual morning routine! that is my coffee and journal session – and i’ll probably do the ‘weather report’ type writing tonight and only share whatever feelings in the morning – no rest for the weary. ^_^
another scary afternoon – lots and lots of sirens, and the planes overhead. this time i did see smoke, and it seemed too close for comfort. brittany got an email from someone who told her there was a fire close to us. it was actually more ‘downtown’ and on the other side of the highway. in the same area as the house that burned on the 4th – in which the mother of (&)my youngest grandchild were living!! somehow her downstairs apartment was not fire damaged, not sure about smoke, etc. (and they were not at home!) the house upstairs lost 3 rooms. like i have said before – fires around here this time of year are not something exciting to go watch!!
the plums are quickly ripening and dropping fast. seems a little early. they are so juicy you must lean over and let the juice fall to the ground (or sink), or ruin whatever you have on! ^_^ the apple tree, which does not ripen until about thanksgiving (nick name is Christmas apple), has some long branches that needed to be pruned but i couldn’t reach them with anything i had. they are now nearly touching the ground. perhaps would be except the deer have eaten away the ends. they don’t get red, stay a soft green with a blush. tart and crisp – very good. have added them to the stuffing, along with some walnuts. yummy.
i took this before the plums were getting ripe. don’t know if you can see how many there are – lots!!
love and beauty,
