Cooler Days...

The days have turned cooler, fall is in the air, October has arrived. You know, I truly have lost track and sense of time and seasons with all the sameness of these past six months.  I know that it's autumn but I don't feel like it should be. It's more than just a sense of time flying it's more like a disorientation for me. It's hard to explain.  I told Mr. Goodneedle yesterday that if I woke up tomorrow and learned it was January I don't know that I would be surprised or feel any different than I do right now. He theorized that it's because we missed the "markers" this year: Easter, end-of-school activities and attending the swim meets of our grandchildren, summer vacation, etc., those events that place everything into a logical and linear timeline. Maybe that's it, I just don't know. Am I alone in this thinking?       ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Anyway, time marches on and so do I...

I found a new (to me) recipe for peanut butter cookies this week and I have to share it, it's my new, absolute, favorite! Having said that, you should know that peanut butter cookies have always been sort of "meh" for me; I suppose it's because I hadn't tried these before! Here's the link , these have a nice crunch on the outside but remain soft and chewy inside. I substituted extra crunchy peanut butter for smooth. If you even marginally like peanut butter cookies this is a must try!

I have two more tumbler quilts ready for binding and donating. Ordinarily our church supports an outreach program in West Virginia that gives aid to families in need at Christmastime. I have been stacking up these quilts all year for children in that program but, as of this past week, we're still unsure as to the plans for this year's distribution of needed items. I'll just keep stacking up needed items until we know more.

Yes, the calendar says it's October. I'll go with that. One step at a time...one day after another.

Go ahead, try the cookies!
