 RH>> And, we will be opening up the first jars any time now. It's to
 RH>> cool down to the low 60s by the end of the week (but reach 80
 RH>> mid week) so winter is coming. Farmer's market will go to winter
 RH>> hours (10-12) on Saturday.
 NB>> Hmmmph... cool down to the low 60s.... around here, this time of
 NB>> year, we're lucky to have it warm up to the low-mid 60s,

 RH> Consider that the beginning of last week we had some days in the low
 RH> 80s. Weather Underground is saying mid 50s for highs this week end
 RH> tho, actually a bit below normal.

Meanwhile, while I was up at the Pond, Friday night's temps were in the
20s... a bit below normal for them, too.... It warmed up by Sunday...

 NB>> like it has yesterday and today...  it's been more in the 40s and
 NB>> 50s already... winter's coming, I suppose, but so far this is more
 NB>> like fall...  I am wearing a sweater more often, though....

 RH> We're grabbing light to medium weight jackets. Yesterday for going out
 RH> to quilting and voting, I had on a light weight (pull over) sweater
 RH> and grabbed my jeans jacket. By the time we went to vote (about 2:30),
 RH> the jacket was just comfortable enough but I changed out for a lined
 RH> windbreaker about 3 hours later when we went out for supper.
 
The sweater jacket is my fall jacket... definitely not ready to use the
heavier winter jacket....

 NB>>>> Gives a keener appreciation for how intricately put together
 NB>>>> our bodies really are... :)   And how interwoven...  :)
 RH>>> Very much so! It's still improving; I can do a little bit more
 RH>>> each day (stemmed and snapped green beans for supper tonight)
 RH>>> without it hurting. Still not trying to raise it over my head
 RH>>> overly much but those times I do, it's doing better.
 NB>>> Little by little... :)
 RH>> Yes, and even more improvment since last time you checked in.
 NB>> That's good news...  :)

 RH>> Good therapy too.

And so far just the sort of therapy you can set yourself, I take it...
 
 RH>> It's still not back to what it was pre break but doing better. I'm
 RH>> still not stressing it very much but doing a lot of what I usually
 RH>> do. Still asking Steve to do a lot of things but he's stepped down
 RH>> from doing as much as he was for a few weeks.
 NB>> Definitely progress... in the right direction...  ;)

 RH> Yes, and the doctor thinks so as well.

Also a good thing...  :)

 RH>>> Nov. 5 (the baby shower) to get it done so am working on it bit
 RH>>> by bit.
 NB>>> So you'll likely have it done in good time, and not stress the
 NB>>> arm too much in the process...  :)
 RH>> I'll be working on it for several days this week but since it's
 RH>> small, it's not too hevy or bulky. Probably a couple of hours
 RH>> tomorrow will get it almost done, then a shorter session to
 RH>> finish it off.
 NB>> So did you get it done in time for the shower...?  And was it
 NB>> well received....?  :)

 RH> Yes, and yes--tho I realised after I was almost done quilting it,
 RH> that I'd inverted 2 rows. No significant problem, just skewed the
 RH> design a bit but the mom to be loved it anyway.

Made it clearly a one-of-a-kind...  ;) 

 RH> Only one of 2 hand made items at the shower.

Made with lots of love... :)
