September has floated by like a feather in the wind.

The calendar says it's fall, but the thermometer on the porch says it's 99* and rising. That doesn't sound like fall to me.

And yet, I'm thinking of pumpkin spice, warm blankets, high school football and sweaters. Yes, I'm thinking, but it's not quite here in my part of the world.  So, I'll just keep thinking and waiting! 

And the days keep passing by.

This month has been busy with doctor appointments - all  wellness checks - being sure everything is still working as it should.

I see the pulmonologist on the 29th for my 'well check,' and I think that will go well for me.  I'm not having any new issues that I'm aware of.

I haven't done any cross stitch for a long time because it began to make my hands cramp, but I miss it so much.  I broke down and purchased a very small kit and hopefully I'll get it done.

My work in progress, finished size will be 3 1/2 inches.

My latest diamond art.

I finished this one last Monday - I'll be starting a new one in a day or two.

As a lot of you know, I have Stage4 COPD and I'm very limited as what I can do.  So the diamond art, cross stitch and reading keep me busy with limited movement.

Even though there are so many activities I can no longer do, there are many that I can do.  God is good, and I am blessed.

To God be the Glory, great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the lifegate that all may go in.

Until Next Time

  1. Dear Mary, I am so happy to see your post. Here in Montreal the temperature is cooler and more comfortable, thank God. 😊 I love Autumn 🍂 colours and fresh crisp air. I will be 70 next month.
    Your photos are beautiful and heartwarming.
    The hymn at the end of your post is one of my favourite hymns.
    To God be the glory. Amen.
    I love the cat 🐈 and your diamond art meme is beautiful.
    I wish you a wonderful Autumn and send you much love. ❤️

  2. I'm so glad to 'see' you again, Mary! Good news on the medical front ... whew! We saw Tom's pulmonologist last week and got a thumb's up for the next 3 months. Seems it's always something, but we have to keep keeping on.
    I love your new diamond art!

  3. It's been cool here. Last night it was in the 40's and the heat kicked on!!
    Cross stitch, Diamond Art, and reading are some of my favorite things to do.:)
    Hope you get some cooler weather soon.

  5. That cross stitch is cute! And the diamond art, beautiful fall colors! Fall is definitely here in Seattle, temps in the high 50's to low 60's and we're getting more rainy days. But I wore a big comfy sweater to work today! Hope fall arrives soon for you!

  7. I guess you'll have to crank the A/C really cold and put on a warm cardigan and pretend it's Fall. 🎃 It's great to have pastimes that fit your particular situation. That Diamond art looks so lovely.
