Temperatures – Page 10 – Merry Heart Crafts

Here is a picture taken from our back porch. The trees are really getting some color to them. This one is a little late getting color. I hope to get some really good fall pictures to post. The temperatures have been a little cool here, overcast and dreary. Not good weather for picture taking. School has been going pretty good. I read this ladies blog and she talked about how they took about 30 minutes every morning to pick up and clean up. We have been trying this out and it works so much better for us. I can concentrate on school then and I am not distracted by housework that needs to be done. Speaking of school, it’s time for us to begin. God Bless

Here’s some new material I bought today. I am going to make Christmas aprons with it. 3 of them will have red binding and a red pocket. The other one will have a pocket made from the same material as the apron and white binding. I think they will look very cheerful and festive. Today was spend shopping, piano lessons, and getting groceries. Hopefully I can get some sewing done before bedtime. I finished a scarf today crocheted in Floyd School colors, black and gold. It looks really good and it’s already sold. I really like that. Temperatures are cool here today. Mid 60’s with strong wind. We read the other day in Psalms that wind comes from God’s personal storehouse. So now when I feel the wind (we get a lot of wind here) I just remember where it comes from. Personal touch from God. How good is that. God Bless.

Today has been a wet, foggy day in Floyd. Temperatures only about 60 for the high. Not much can be done outside when the weather is like this. So today we settled in for a day of half school. This means we only do half our normal lessons which made the girls very happy. A day for reading, baking, and enjoying being a stay at home wife. I believe blessings come in disquise sometimes, just to see if we’ll recognize them. Thank you Lord, that I can stay at home, teach my girls and snuggle in for a foggy day. God Bless.

Here’s a picture of the beets I canned the other day. I pulled 1/2 bushel of beets. Pretty good for the first time I ever raised beets here at the farm. From that 1/2 bushel I canned 9 qts. This will taste really good this winter with pinto beans and cornbread. The other jars are pureed tomotoes. The tomatoes were the yellow striped variety thus explaining the color in the jars. I had forgotten how much work goes into canning beets. Quite a lot but as you know most things worth having require work. Today was homecoming day at church. We had a really good day. Lots of people showed up, good music, good preaching, good eating. The temperatures are still cool at night here with beautiful sunshine during the day. Wonderful fall weather. I think I will take my Daniel bible study and my bible and go out and enjoy some of this wonderful weather God has decided to bless us with. Enjoy and God Bless.

I thought you might enjoy the view from our dirt road. I know lots of you don’t have the luxury of dirt roads anymore. There are quite a few still around in Floyd. This one leads to our driveway, turn left at the big barn. I was coming back from the milk barn and thought how pretty this is. So I took a picture. I am getting into this picture taking. (Hubby took the ones for this morning). Notice the big maple tree, already starting to show some color. I guess thats what temperatures in the low 40’s will do. I canned 10 pints of spaghetti sauce today from some tomatoes we gathered last night. (Yes I said last night) At church they were talking about how it was supposed to be colder than the night before, so we took a flashlight out to the garden and gathered tomatoes. Hey, I’m not taking any chances. I want these fresh tomatoes to last as possible. I made homemade pizza this evening for supper using the sauce I’d made. The crust recipe was not as good as I would have liked. I guess I’ll have to do some more searching. The sauce, however was very good. Everyone seemed to like it. I’m glad. It was a lot of work. It sure did make the house smell good though. It’s getting late. God Bless.

God certainly knows how to say good morning. The temperatures dropped down to 40 last night. Pretty chilly. The fog (something we have a lot of) was putting in an appearance this morning. When the sun breaks through, the fog doesn’t stand a chance. Isn’t that how life goes. When the Son shows up, the darkness and fog of our lives doesn’t stand a chance. My morning devotion. God Bless.
