There probably won’t be a lot of time for piecing quilts
this week. Any day now (it may even have happened last night) the temperature
will drop below 30F and everything we haven’t already harvested will be toast.
I’ve got a bushel of tomatoes to stew and to bottle, bell peppers to roast, and
lots of grapes to make into juice and jelly. I promised to mend my daughter’s
torn jeans and my granddaughter’s Sunday dress. There are still over a dozen
quilts – large and small – waiting to be bound. And then there’s Halloween. We
haven’t bought any candy for trick-or-treaters this year, and we don’t intend
to. (If I had, it would probably need to be replaced by now anyway.) Instead,
we’re treating the neighborhood to a Hallo-weenie roast. Halloween used to be
my least favorite day in the whole year. This year, I’m actually looking forward to
it.
