Not long after I posted that last entry the sun disappeared, the wind picked up, and it started pouring down rain! We're supposed to have gusts up to 45 mph and possibly some hail. (I think we had some hail damage to our roof in August, and I keep forgetting to call our house insurance to see if it's enough damage to file a claim. I really must remember to do that.)
I fear the cold weather really is going to move in tonight. I'm not sure I'm really ready for that. But at least we're not expecting snow like Guido!
But Winter has yet brighter scenes--he boasts
Splendors beyond what gorgeous Summer knows;
Or Autumn with his many fruits, and woods
All flushed with many hues.

I'm travelling around to all the journals I'm currently reading this afternoon to make sure I'm caught up with everyone. Then I'm going to write for the rest of the day I think.
It's a "something hot and comforting" kind of day for dinner, so I believe we'll have chicken and dumplings -- haven't fixed that in a while.
Eler Beth is finished with her lessons for the day and is crocheting and watching Animal Planet. Andrew just got in from school, had a snack, and is on his computer. (Another thing keeping me busy for the next few months -- my son's a Senior this year!)
There are some things I've been meaning to put in thisjournal and will try to do that today to get them out of my "to do" folder.
Ah, listen to that thunder. I'll probably have to get off the computer soon for safety reasons.

We will be getting that weather soon. The wind is picking up and the clouds are right behind. I've let the girls play outside a bunch today since it won't be this nice for a while. I started school at 9 instead of 8 BUT I had a good reason! My friend called in crisis. She is ok but she needed to unload. We did finish school right after lunch!

I just love chicken and dumplings. I can't wait to have a few hours to work with Courtney on the art of crochet. I am working on a blanket currently. Next I want to make scarves. Hugs,
