Thursday Moments

It is a cloudy Texas day. The crisp, cool, air has the feeling of fall to it. As much as I have complained about the blasted heat of this past summer, I am not quite ready for autumn. There are a few more summer things I wish to do first. Larry is finishing emails in his office and will be off to the little city of Temple, Texas for meetings. Libby and I have things to do. It seems that I have had a hard time getting back into reality after being at the sea. My hair is pulled back into a long, ponytail and am tempted to wash it, dry it, and curl it.....but I have a 1:15 appointment to have it cut. I have an appointment every 7 or 8 weeks. The hairdresser has free rein, I trust her that much. As most of you know, I have had skin cancer, most of it being on my scalp. The surgeries have left my scalp with a complete map of Texas , made with a scalpel etched in my scalp. The beautiful young woman who "does" my hair, is creative, brilliant and because I have known her almost 20 years, I let her do whatever she wants to do. It is wonderful, having people that you trust such as this in your life. I will let you know how the hair turns out...later. The sunflowers in the garden are heavy now.....bowing to me, with faces downward. They have charming stature and the majesty of their height amazes me. There are 4 different varieties planted although 2 of them seem to rule the sunflower garden. Next year I shall expand the dimensions of the sunflower garden......something about all of the sunflowers peeking at me while I am in the dining room......makes me smile. It is not a work day for me, but I am creating a pattern, for a beginners knitted scarf, and would like to work on that this morning. It is a bit different than I expected, but I will have to get thoughts from Jami, Lauren and a few friends before I print up the pattern for sale. Creations of the heart are always so difficult. You have a vision in your mind, and upon completion, it is not always quite as you expected. There are times, (with paintings) that I have to tell myself to just stop. It is so easy to over-do. I think that I shall go and open the new patio doors, and use the screen that came with them. Let some of that cool fall air into the house........ Have a COOL day....try not to OVER-DO..... Oh please......smile! Love you lots. Me.
