Now 3 weeks have passed!

Welcome! So happy you could stop by. Tea time....I hope that being here and reading this blog brings you to a peaceful place and brush your stress away if only for a short time.

Yes 3 weeks has passed and MR is doing amazingly well. His in home PT will come to a close but will head over to the out patient therapy. Like I've said he's walking quite a bit and even venturing out around the house. He has a lot of safe places that he can go to. Oh! He was also able to practice using his stationary bike. Just about time to move the twin bed back up stairs. Quite an accomplishment but not surprising. He's not one to sit idle. He is faithful with his exercises and that is key. Way to go MR! Love you.
RECONCILIATION 
Have you been glued to the TV? Since the first word of Queen Elizabeth's passing I can't tear myself away...so sad but what a wonderful long life she's had. Such a gracious queen with love to share. The word reconciliation has surely been mentioned many many times. Here's hoping that she gets her wish for her family. How wonderful to see them all together .....it pulls at my heartstrings. So important to reconcile our differences with those we love and those around us. I say that with a heavy heart ♥. Looking forward for what's the future brings.
 This is a short blog....but I thank you for joining me.
Lot's happening in the upcoming weeks but hope to be back with you soon.
Let me know you we're here.....and love your comments.
A Dieu.....till the next time.

What,  summer is over!???!! No it can't possibly be because when I went for groceries today the store was packed! People everywhere! Actually I think this is the second round of tourists the older ones that don't have little ones to tote around. The next group will be the leaf peepers! Then it will be those that want to join in on the fun at "Prelude". WELCOME to MAINE! 

So hey thanks for checking in....let's chat a bit!
Fall is in the air....pumpkins are starting to show up.....leaves are falling and so are the acorns. My Roomie over at ACORNHOLLOW mentioned in her blog that acorns will be abundant this year. I hear that also and think it means we'll have a very cold and snowy winter. Grr!  But what to do with all these acorns? I read that acorns can be used as a dye and they are a natural mordant. Some of you rug hookers may be aware of this and I may be last to know!
https:/fiderartsy.com and Mother Earth News has very interesting articles on the subject. Check them out and if you decided to dye some fabric, cotton or wool check back in and let me know how it turned out. Also used are rhubarb both leaves or stalks and black walnuts. I know where to get a bunch.

Today makes 2 full weeks since MR had his surgery.  I have to tell you I am truly amazed and happy at his progress. He walks around the house on his own and is able to bend his knee more and more everyday. He was able to walk over next door and spent some time out on the deck. Getting comfortable at night and sleeping has been a bit better. I made him a small this pillow that he can use for sleeping. And look where I found him on Sunday?
Yup that's right...out in his work area. No cane in sight! Instead of playing Where's Waldo let's play Where's the Cane! Lol. He had his 2 wk follow up and the PA says he's ready to hit the gym for pt. Happy Days!

That's it for today....the sun is up and I may get another paddle in...

Thanks again for stopping in.....be sure to let me know you were here...drop me a comment...love hearing from you. I so appreciate all the comments.
A Dieu...till we meet again.

Hearts all around with lots of LOVE.

Happy Day to you all! I'm a bit late with these wishes.... hope your day was sweet. Hubby still not up and about much so when I was out ...
