Yesterday evening we went to the vigil mass. I continue to be impressed by the priests in this parish. The homilies get right to the heart of the gospel - these are shepherds who are lovingly and wisely guiding their flock. What a blessing to be a part of this parish! We attended the vigil mass because today it was time to get some insulation up in our attic. It was the only major item that came out of the home inspection report this summer, and with the cost of heating oil, we knew it was something we needed to do as soon as possible. So...insulation in attic, check.
On to a few other things that have been going on. Last weekend we drove to the flagship LL Bean store in Freeport. The fall colors along I-95 alone were worth the trip!
We had fun at the LL Bean store, but it was crowded and that really wore us out. What can I say, we're getting old(er)! Ha!
He looks pretty happy to have his picture taken there, doncha think? Well, he was. Honest.
Everywhere we go, it's just beautiful. Even the drive to the dump the Transfer Station is lovely!
This past week I went to my Penny Rug making class. Being a dedicated introvert, I was really nervous about going and meeting new people. But of course, all of the ladies in the class (there were 8 of us, plus the instructor) were really nice and I had so much fun learning something new! I'll post some pics when we finish up our project this next week.
I'm also working on a knitted hat for this winter, with some beautiful hand-dyed yarn I purchased at the common ground fair.
In other news...it was time to put the forgotten vegetable garden to bed! On Friday, while Tom worked on all of the flower beds, tree trimming, etc. etc., I set to work on the vegetable garden. The weather was crisp, sunny, and no wind. I used muscles I didn't know I had! You're talking to a woman who spent the last (lots of) years working at a desk job in a windowless office. It felt so good to be outside and working in that garden. But boy was I sore yesterday! Okay, yes, I'm still sore today. But a good sore! An "I feel ALIVE" kind of sore. ha ha. And luckily clearing the garden is not a weekly job or I'd have to invest in some Advil stock. Cause Advil and I have been good friends of late!
Oh, one last thing today.
This week I also tried lox for the first time. Along with the usual suspects... bagel with cream cheese and onions. Oh my goodness. I'm a fan. It's just the best. And I can't wait to eat it again! In fact, I think that's what I will go do right now...you talked me into it!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!
