Oh the weather outside~~~~

A very grey sky and lots of rain to the East of me on this first day of Autumn.

The weather map looks dismal for sure and we know how I dislike storms. At least this would be a daytime storm and will not bother me so much....I hope. It may not reach us at all. No reason to be out of the house anyway today.  A wait and see of kind of day.
As stormy as it looks, this bloom opened today and has been giving a couple of flowers every so often. So nice to have color all the time. While following the doctor's orders of doing little I was hand busy....
I finished the dragonfly and have another at the ready to start. I do enjoy stitching on perforated paper with beads. I have managed to gather my donation of supplies for Vickie's daughters school. Trying to get through the garage craft storage should be easier as long as the temps remains cooler...under 100. The countdown continues for The Brother Alan's arrival... it really seems to be coming quickly now. The target date is still for October … well, maybe the 16th or 17th. They will be driving across via car unlike Dennis and I did 15 years ago with a Penske truck and car carrier! Once on the road the countdown really begins. The only countdown at the moment is when my coffee will finish brewing. The first cup is the most important! Off I go... Thank you for taking time to visit and for your kind words. Thank you for your friendship.

Gracie: I hate storms day or night, the dog and I shiver together.
Love the dragonfly, (the beads are on there way).
I can feel your excitement in your words for your brother and sister in laws arrival.
I hope you have a lovely week.
