Today was lovely out, plus I visited wirh my daughter, which made it extra lovely. And every so often I was under the impression it was a certain time, but then found out the correct time, and had just "won" an hour. 😅 (certain clocks haven't been adjusted)
This morning I worked on my camping cabin. It's a structure I built on a trailer for the chickens, but since they have been relocated I can use it for another purpose. After I hose it down tomorrow I'll take some pictures.
I brought a sewing machine for my daughter to use, then set up a sewing space for her in an office downstairs. While purchasing notions and fabrics for Fall clothing projects, I couldn't pass up a good deal on a serger. They are so useful for stretch fabrics, and now I won't have to bring one home from my Newmarket studio.
Since Halloween is over, and my total dedication to that is also over, I can resume my knitting sweater project, now working on the back. I had actually completed about 2", but undid it all when I realized it wasn't wide enough. I restarted it, adding about 15 stitches.
And an adorable picture of Luci napping today, as snug as a bug in a rug

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!

Happy garden with all the heat, humidity, and occasional rain.
I made a yummy zucchini chocolate bread for my sister's visit. Going to air fry some of what I just picked.
