The blue is really lovely and the other design is pretty awesome!<br /><br />If I lived in NY near you - I'd take off too. We just got back from a 12 day trip to Maine - which didn't go as I'd hoped but it was GREAT to get away, and certainly did give me better perspective when I returned.<br /><br />Hang in there. You make your own beauty on those looms.........MarthaVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936514662127166756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-14048655471388222017-10-14T18:55:17.943-04:002017-10-14T18:55:17.943-04:00This winter the trees here in the Missoula Valley ...This winter the trees here in the Missoula Valley have been some of the best ever...rich strong colors and not a lot of rain to push them too soon to the ground. We are having below freezing nights cooler days and two morning some light dusting of snow..an unusually colorful fall for this part of the country.<br />The quilt for your grandson is wonderful - surely a challenge to sew together, but what a grand quilt.<br />KristinKAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479656882397372088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-36285193654557425392017-10-14T14:38:22.578-04:002017-10-14T14:38:22.578-04:00I enjoy how much you share the truth about things,...I enjoy how much you share the truth about things, but how you also find the scraps of good and use them to focus on. Our trees have also not shown much in color and the leaves are all starting to fall from the trees in huge amounts. While people mention it in passing, its always ok for them as long as the sunshine is still here and there is a bit of warmth left in the days. If we could just adopt that perspective for all the big things in life. Blessings to you!

Weather is the impact, and ours has certainly been unusual - everywhere.<br /><br />In addition to my zinnias, I also love my 4 o'clocks.

When I was in school (7th grade????), we were taught a lovely song with that poem as the lyrics. I carefully mouthed the words as I have NO singing talent whatsoever, but memorized the poem.<br /><br />Love the quilt! and the weaving!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202700929037224641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-4556837838108271002017-10-14T08:39:45.203-04:002017-10-14T08:39:45.203-04:00We have been fortunate with colors this fall in Co...We have been fortunate with colors this fall in Colorado (in spite of the snow taking so many branches). Usually I am in total envy of you in the northeast as usually your colors are so very much more vibrant than what we have here. There will be other falls. You are so fortunate to have had such a wonderfully thoughtful mother. Her gift to you is also a great legacy to both your family and the planet. ~chrismudmavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997715550136386670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-65619824500593707542017-10-13T23:06:05.290-04:002017-10-13T23:06:05.290-04:00Trees are such a wonderful gift.

It's not as though we don't have enough already, but these are my BIRTHDAY trees!<br />I'm sorry to say that over here in the PNW we are in full fall color. I bet you get yours back again next year. It's something to look forward to. I love that poem too.claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-92039740004971497552017-10-13T17:51:00.637-04:002017-10-13T17:51:00.637-04:00Our trees appear to have the same plan for fall co...Our trees appear to have the same plan for fall color as yours do. Shades of brown. I'm okay with it. Fall is still wonderful.<br /><br />I cut off the side of the tip of my finger in 2012, with a chef's knife while chopping greens. It bled like crazy, and I went to the ER. Fortunately, it healed well. I was warned by someone who did something similar that the area would be super sensitive once it healed. I'm passing that warning along to you. Now, sensation is pretty much normal. It took a while.<br /><br />I love the fact that you mother bought trees for you.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.com
