The moon .... and me

Sunday evening as I looked out to the sky there it was...another magnificent full moon. I have and probably always will be fascinated by the moon. Every night I look to see where it is and what it looks like and then wonder.... many thoughts.  Right now, however, I am wondering what the day will bring.
We are once again in a "cool down" as the temps will be in the low 100s this week. There are several wildfires already in full swing here in Arizona and the Monsoon season has begun. No matter where you live there are seasonal happenings. We learn to live and adjust to them.
Yesterday was spent with stitching....On The Range
The left edge is almost finished except for the beads of course. They are the last to be added. I had a bit of an issue with the red star in the lower corner... a few Xs were not correct so out they came and back in correctly they went. It was a quiet day around the abode. On the weekends the jets from Luke AF base do not fly and coincidently the birds seemed to take a quiet day also. Very little action at the Pond Garden and fountain. It was a quiet day around the abode.
I did pack up over 80 DVDs...some of them sets … and moved my photos boxes onto the top shelf. Next will be the CDs. I am probably still one of the few who play CDs. Although I watch Netflix, I still like my DVDs too. Just an old fashioned gal I guess.
Stitching and reading have been slow  recently as I am having blurred vison issues especially in my left eye. I know, get it checked. Along with the other this and that that needs attention.  A few issues will be taken care of when The Brother Alan is here as I will need a driver.... as in when they dilate the eyes! I actually dread that. It takes hours for my vision to return to normal. Always something... in "these golden years"!
Well, that is about it for me today. Off to finish the chores because those House Faeries still have not reported for duty; then back to my Mill Hill stitching. It will be a me day. Glad to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and or your friendship.

Hello Dear Friend: Where the heck are those fairies, they need to get on the ball.
I am loving the design you are stitching, I am looking forward to see the finish.
I have a little blurry right eye, cataract is the problem.
It is only going to be in the low 80s today just right for me.
Every passing day brings your Brother closer to moving in.

Hugs

I have had glaucoma and cataracts so I get my vision checked every six months, I was having blurry vision in my left eye and she said it was dry eye!!!Sure enough drops solved it! Maybe that's your problem, the Dr recommended over the counter dry eye drops!

The stitching is coming along nicely. Do you find you see it better during the daylight hours vs using a lamp at night? It might give you eyes a bit of a rest. I always think of the book, Mr. Moon, lol. Last couple of visits I had they stopped dilating eyes. There's another machine which is suppose to be more accurate, more computerized, I guess. Anyway, I was happy, as like you..it took several hours for me and I often didn't feel righ. We're more cool and more damp then we should be this time of the year. Strange weather around the country.

You always capture such a great moon picture, I always think of you when I see the full moon and sure enough you came into my thoughts again this week when I looked out at night and saw it shining brightly in the sky.

Great progress on your stitching. I bet putting in all these beads will be fun!
