Blue Light Special

While doing research on seasonal affective disorder, I came across Zadro, which is an artificial sunlight desk light about the size of your hand. Living in the north, morning looks like the picture above. I had to try it, just to see. The panel of tiny blue lights emits an intense glow, which the brain is supposed to think is sunlight. It creates a stronger day/night cycle and increases the amount of seratonin the brain produces. At least, the box says that is how it works. I will report back on my experiment later. Like a loving husband, the farmer is participating as well. I love science.

I have been struggling with a set of embroidered squares that Grandma Betty K. gave me. I finally chose a set of thirties reproduction fabrics, and I like it so far. The remainder of the problem is how to frame out the squares which have to sit "on point". I have trouble visualizing it in my head. I'd like to get it done for Christmas, so I can't stew over it too long.

I will be visiting my mom the first weekend in Dec. I told my sister we should have Christmas tea and put up mom's tree. Have fun celebrating Thanksgiving together.
