So Long September

As September comes to a close I have been enjoying the memories I have made recently.  The hiking, archery, SCA events and time with family and friends.  I'm looking forward to October.  The leaves will change color and fall.  The air will become a little crisper.  We may even see a touch of snow, it could happen.  Tomorrow I will begin participating in Inktober.  Technology being an easy thing to lose, break, or simply for batteries to die, I want to practice drawing.  Here are some other happy things from today:

  • Yesterday, in conversations with relatives, I remembered that I purchase stock in my company every paycheck.  Today I looked at the account and learned that I haven't lost anything at this time.  There is only a slight gain, but I've been putting a little money toward this long enough that I am happy with the current amount.  If the stock prices don't fall, I'll be even more happy.  
  • Keziah has been at an SCA event in New Jersey.  She had a large donation for DIY Craft & Thrift that a friend and I picked up for her this morning.   There was a quilt show and the things that didn't sell were donated to Keziah’s store.  At least I think that is what happened.  Either way, her store should be putting out more quilting supplies and books soon.  It was kind of fun to get to help out in this way.  And, Zed bought us breakfast.  😋
  • Maybe because I was away most of the weekend it seems that the foliage near us is really starting to peek through.  There was more in the northern part of New Hampshire, but it is starting here, towards the middle of the state, now too.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Wow, Long and PICTURES

What a wonderful day!  Here are some happy highlights and a bunch of pictures. My friend Stephanie (I got her permission to use her name) and I started out later than planned but Magalloway Mountain wasn't too long of a drive from where we camped.  After driving over miles of dirt roads we ended up at the trailhead.  We chose to go up the Bobcat Trail and down the Coot Trail.  The Bobcat Trail is a narrow trail that doubled as a small brook in places. 😉  When we got to the top of the mountain there was a trail to an overlook and we went there first.  The overlook was over a cliff, but it was beautiful and we could see so far.  The tower view was also spectacular and gave us a 360 degree view.  I don't know where the borders are, but from where we stood in New Hampshire we could see Canada and Maine, probably Vermont, too. The Coot Trail was wider and probably could be used by vehicles that can handle steep hills with rocks and gravel when maintai...

Otter's Welcome

Some happy things from today: There is a picture I have from a few years ago of my adult children with lilacs in their hair.  This included Bel's generous beard.  Keziah picked some this morning so we could have some in our hair at an SCA event in Massachusetts, Otter's Welcome.  This is an event that is aimed with newcomers in mind.  There is a little bit of most categories to do or observe.  Keziah ran children's point.  I visited with a few people.   Keziah In the middle of the day I started falling asleep.  I ended up napping in the car for a little while.  There was a class I wanted to take, but it was when I was resting. This is also when the weather decided to rain.  That break was needed and I think I enjoyed the rest of the day more because of it. Some of the lilacs that Keziah picked, made it into my hair.  There were many compliments.  Me, photo credit to Keziah. The part of Massachusetts the event is in is the ...

Happy Friday

There is one more night for me to work this week.  I have Sunday off and I'm back to work Monday thru Thursday.  My happy things for today: A little while after I got home from work, I remembered that I needed to do laundry.   Yay clean clothes to wear to work tonight! There was lost & found at the event last weekend.  I brought it to the studio this afternoon so that it can be returned to its owner.  I also got to see a few friends.   I also stopped by Keziah’s store and was able to see the family and some friends.  I don't usually spend so much time out and about on working days.  I'm glad I got to see people.  I'm especially glad that I was able to sit down with the family and get closer to firming out plans for this weekend and vacation.  Bel & Keziah ☮ Currently listening to: Dune Messiah , by Frank Herbert.
