Harvest apples

The other day, the farmer said "Its about time to pick apples". Last night and today the wind has come up, so apple picking will become "picking up" apples. They are tart and juicy. I think we should have a pie soon. There are more strawberries, and we made a second batch of grape jelly yesterday.

I spent much of the week trying to pick out fabric and a pattern for a quilt for Michael. I chose some batiks in creams, greens, browns and blues.

Part of the week was devoted to visiting Grandpa K. in the hospital. He is recovering from an intestinal infection...we'll see how the next few days go. I plan to leave Thursday to visit Mom for the weekend. Have to get there before flu season. The assisted living folks discourage visitors that could get the residents sick.

Have you noticed how you run out of time before you run out of things to do? My list seems endless. Better get started! Love, Marmee
