Happy Days!

Happy Saturday all! Can anyone guess what's making me this happy? 

Could it be flag football, with my favorite almost-seven-year-old ball carrier? (By the way, thanks to Jan & Tom for the new team swag,  pictured above!)

Or knitting new colorwork mitts that match my last sweater? 

Or maybe it's frozen cokes...

Zombie parades...

Halloweekends theming...

and tiny pumpkins at the end of the trick-or-treat trail at Cedar Point!

Well, it's a little of all of that, to be sure! It's also abundant apples, making my first apple crisp of the season, following flag football... 

and we have dinner plans with friends later! There is so much good in our personal lives right now, which is so wonderful..because current events in the news often leave me worried about the world that seems to be falling apart around me. 

Still, despite all the tragedy, I know that God is in control. Even though it sometimes feels like no one is in control, because we live in a fallen world,  God is always in control (Isaiah 55). He leads me to find peace (Psalm 23) and to love others (1 Corinthians 13) while I live in this world full of uncertainty and [often misguided] disdain. I'm so thankful that "He's got the whole world in his hands," because I know it's too big a job for anyone else.

I'm also thankful for all of my friends, and for you coming to read the blog, too! What are you thankful for today?

Falling Into September

As a kid, I remember going back to school on hot, late-August days that were torture. The sun was bright, the temperature was high (inside and out, no AC in elementary schools then) and even sitting still without melting was a challenge. But, with high temps in the mid-60s (°f) August 2025 is making us crave soup (first chicken noodle of the season started)

and think of fall holiday decorating ideas!

While the gnomes navigate the bees and mud of the pumpkin patch, we're watching college football, flag football,

and knitted footballs, 

as well as looking forward to the upcoming HalloWeekends season at Cedar Point!

While I know there will be an "indian summer," and temps will probably spike into the 80s again, in a week or two, I am enjoying this little taste of Tiny Fall, inspired by a few Mochimochiland patterns I've recently knit!

Anna is so right...adding eyes brings them to life!

Just like feeding the family lunch after flag football brings them to life...look! The boys can lift their daddy (with some help from mom)!

Energy is high on a cool, August Saturday, until that soup starts to digest and we all need a moment of rest. 

Yes, it's been a good, good week and a good, good day! What's making your weekend good?

Somewhat Speechless Saturday

Because it's been a busy week, I just don't have many words left...lol! What made it so busy? Well, a new park last Saturday night...

Sunday trip to Cedar Point with friends...

Tuesday colonoscopy with Monday prep and Wednesday recovery. Most traumatic part? The IV placement...it took three tries.

Weird-ish crochet/knit project...

First flag-football game for my oldest grandson...

with fun brothers on the sidelines!

Now I'm chillin' a bit, and gearing up for whatever this next busy week brings, while i knit tiny pumpkins. What's wearing you out this weekend? Lol...
