Hopefully we will see temps climb back up in the 60s again for the rest of autumn..especially for hiking! Today was partly sunny but rather chilly. We needed thick sweaters or jackets for going to work today! I enjoyed your faves list and YAY for those hats going off to bless some people!!

I am glad the city and neighborhood are looking ahead of time for ways to guard against torrents. <br /><br />I don't know why the finishing touches are the hardest to get to in projects, but they are. Glad you were able to get some of those knocked out.<br /><br />Cutting out a day sounds like a good move.<br /><br />Sometimes I try to picture what our little grandson will be like at five or so. I'm looking forward to it. It is so neat to see how their minds unfold as they grow.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-40483775812740155502015-10-02T11:24:56.021-07:002015-10-02T11:24:56.021-07:00This upcoming season may prove to be a challenging...This upcoming season may prove to be a challenging one -- I'm glad your neighborhood is making plans in case of torrents.

I NEED to plan another beach trip soon. In fact I will start those plans today. ;)<br /><br />So glad that you were able to cut back a day on work. Having that work/rest/create balance is such a privilege and so needed.I am trying to figure that out (still).<br /><br />Hurray on finishing up some projects and getting them out of the house.
