I was pretty busy all day – worked this morning, then popped down to L&L Fleatique. I was looking for a mini pumpkin – like the size of a nickel. Found it!

My castle gets little seasonal additions… The sunflower fairy on the tower.

Had toast and tomato for lunch, then changed the sheets on the trundle bed in the Flag room. It’s a chore, especially with my wrist not having enough strength to achieve certain tasks. Then I washed the other sheets – one to pass along (I’m not a fan of microfiber) and one to keep for the other beds.

First set of matching sheets for the trundle beds.
I took a few minutes to cut back the mini black eyed Susans growing in the gardens – there were 3 places. Got those bagged and up to the road with the trash. Then I ironed the sewn rice bags and filled them with rice, and stitched them shut. I have 8 for camp and 2 for here. The sunflower one is for the Crooks room, since it matches the theme in there.

I have been putting off making potato soup all week – so today was the day. Just finished it, and will let it cool and have a big bowl after I finish posting this.

QUOTE of the DAY:

PEANUTS?

TOMORROW September 11th is:
Patriot Day; National Hot Cross bun Day; National Make Your Bed Day; Libraries Remember Day; National 401(k) Day; No News is Good News Day.
Take a minute to remember Patriot day – Where were you that day? Did you call your mom? I always make my bed! God bless…
On this date in History: Battle of Lake Erie (1813) U.S. Captain Oliver Hazard Perry led a squadron of nine ships to a decisive victory over a British fleet of six warships on Lake Erie during the War of 1812

Scripture: *(of sorts) – food for thought.
