Not
only have we fallen back to standard time but the days are cloudy and dark. Being
a rational individual, I can deal with an inner clock that’s a
little confused, but Bess is another story. Mike wants to take her for her
afternoon walk between 4:00 and 5:00, but as the days grow shorter, Bess wants to go earlier. She now begins to whine, beg, and mope at 2:30. If we walk her early, she
wants her dinner early. One thing is certain -- she must begin to wear her fluorescent collar.
As
mentioned in a previous post, daughter Hallie was successful in finding snuggle
flannel in a discontinued design, “Monkeys Riding Bicycles,” so that she could
replace Silas’ “lovey,” which had become a rag. The fabric, found on eBay, had
actually been hemmed as a blanket already, but it was big enough that she could cut
it to the needed size. After she hemmed it last weekend, they were ready to
make the switch. While Hallie and Silas were out of the house, Nick spirited
Old Monkey away, leaving New Monkey in its place. Hallie reported that Silas continues
to interact with New Monkey and hasn’t noticed a difference. However, it was
unacceptable when I sent a blanket in a different monkey print, so those monkeys on bikes evidently appeal to him.
It
looks and feels like fall now. The purple ash tree has dropped all its leaves,
and now the maple is turning color.
I
set out my Thanksgiving things on the display stand. I’m not sure all these
things belong on the same stand, but they make me happy, and that’s what
counts.
And
here’s the 10-minute table runner I made on a Thanksgiving theme. It took me
three hours, but hey! – I started it, and I finished it, and I used fabric from
my stash. KW
