A Fairly Wordless Wednesday

[Before I begin this post, let me say that I have been having scary problems with Google. I was denied access to my blog; the content was there, but I could not change or add anything, and it took me fully forty-five minutes to recover access to it.  Fingers crossed it will not happen again. ]  

So much for being fairly wordless . . . 

We are expecting colder temperatures and possibly a dusting of snow in a few days, so I thought I would share what will probably be my last, "What's Blooming in My Garden This Week " post for the season. 

The light was exquisite and fleeting when I grabbed this shot of maple leaves with my iPhone early one morning last week.

A Tip for Stitchers: Sue Spargo suggest using a hot ruler when turning over and pressing edges. How many times have I burned my finger tips when trying to do this? Countless times. . . No longer . . . this Hot Ruler by Clover is great. You fold the fabric to the correct measurement on the ruler and press right on the ruler. Awesome!!!

Finally, at the risk of being too political, may I recommend an article, "A Crusade for Something Noble" by democratic political strategist James Carville. (If you lean conservatively, then you just might want to skip it.) 

One more political note; the White House has audaciously and erroneously listed "ending the Covid-19 pandemic" as one of its accomplishments as across the country cases are spiking to terrifying, record numbers. 

France today announced another national lockdown and cases are continuing to rise across Europe in a second wave.

One week to Election Day . . .  Stay safe.
