Happy Thanksgiving one and all. Spotted this turkey while out walking the other day. Normally, I'm not a fan of blow up directions; but thought the turkey was sorta cute.Making headway with The Sherbet blanket. The bright pink section I'm working on now is the wider section you see towards the bottom of the picture, then light pink, green, and bright pink edge. I think it's going to be a bit smaller than I anticipated; but was trying to be careful and not run out of yarn. That's the problem when you're using up this and that and don't know how much yarn you have and wing it.Leaves before raking. It takes generally 3 rounds of raking to get all the leaves from these 2 trees, then another couple of raking and or mulching with the mower those that blow over from the neighbors yard. His trees drop later than ours, and he tends not to rake until they're almost totally down...meanwhile they blow in my yard.Switched out the pumpkin placemats for the more fall looking leaf mats.These are my birthday roses from hubby. They were called Hot Sauce. I've never seen such a color combination with the red and yellow. Gorgeous, and they go so well with my fall table.I almost didn't read this book, given the title; but the look her face made me curious. Jennette McCurdy was child actress, later a writer and maintains a podcast. This book is a New York Times Best Seller and International Best Seller. It's funny, it's sad, it's a autobiography of her growing up years, dealing with eating disorders and the toll that took. It was enlighten for me, as I've not known someone who suffered from an eating disorder...at least not to my knowledge. The audio book is 6 hours. This 9 hour audio book was a Pulitzer Price winning book. A historical fiction that takes place in Alabama with a look at generations of White vs Black, backward social norms and what finding out the truth can do a family that for years was entrenched as a leader in the community.A 4 hour Novella filled with intrigue, duty, money, flooding a rescue ? And of course love interest.......then throw in the criminals and you have an enjoyable griping story None of these 3 books are my typical genre; but I recommend the books just the same. Sometimes you need to change things up.
Making my Way to Edinburgh, still blogging about my touring The UK
