10 on the go.

1. My strength training has been working well. I am loosening up, and moving better... Except when I try a new move, and various muscles inform me that they don't care for that. But it improves! 

2. I am working on a few Christmas crafts. I know a lot of people don't like hearing X days to Christmas, but I like a general idea, so I am not frantic and panicked trying to finish a gift 2 days before it's due. 

3. I'm not going to admit who is teaching whom, but I let Ding Kitty drink from the faucet. After many false starts, I have taught her that "that's enough" means I am going to turn off the faucet. She backs up, and doesn't get a face full when I need a cup of water, or sit there waiting when it isn't running. 

4. Managed to get several packages of dried tomatoes to a friend of mine. Sending ripe tomatoes interstate just won't work. But drying them and vacuum sealing, bingo, they get toms to use in recipes.

5. I wanted to use smaller jars for some terrariums, but couldn't fit my hands in. Then discovered, I can use chopsticks. I am fairly proficient with them, and they can dig into soil and move plants without damage. Dedicated chopsticks, though, don't think I need my nutrients from potting soil! 

6. Finished several hats, washed and ready to take to my uncle. I made several sizes, so hopefully he can use one or two, the rest can be donated. 

7. Fall is coming along to the area, and I get different colors out of the front window. From dark greens and a few lighter ones, to browns and reds starting to peek through. Soon I will be raking up mulch for my garden! 

8. With fall coming, I am very happy we have lots of blankets. It went from rather warm, almost uncomfortable to sleep, to this morning, I stepped outside, and saw my breath steam. Yep, time for winter blankets! 

9. I am reading Kidnapped, by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's been very good. Oddly, I had heard the title, but didn't know anything about it. I'm enjoying it so far, and eager to see what happens! 

10.  The deer, turkeys, bunny, squirrels, and birds have pretty much left my garden alone, after Husband put up all the fencing. So I have many packages of tomatoes to donate to the local Tomatofest. Not all of them, but enough that I feel it will be a good addition. 

Keep being thankful, and have yourself an awesome week!
