The Mitten Handbook by Mary Scott Huff


Picot cuff.
Used crochet hook to join CO edge after turning cuff. In the future would go back to provisional CO as this is neater on the inside for me.
On second thought, I think I would just sew the CO edge to the inside for the hem.

Nature Notes

Fall came quickly this year. We were welcomed home from our family vacation on October 14 with the first hard frost. Farewell to our basil and most of our zinnias. We crunch through acorns as we walk on the little path that leads to our compost bin. Tiny asters are sprinkled through our woods and also on the paths at Forest Park Nature Center where we enjoy hiking. We saw a hummingbird on the morning of Oct 10 which is the latest, I believe, and they may have been here after that but we were not.

As we drove up from southern IL yesterday we watched for trees that were displaying fall colors. We really didn’t see much until we arrived in our town. There are some maples that are red on the top of the tree and green on the bottom. Hints of yellow and gold peek through the woods.
In our woods

Glorious yellow--right outside my door.


Maple Leaves

October

 by Robert Frost

O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,

Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow.

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,

Beguile us in the way you know.

Release one leaf at break of day;

At noon release another leaf;

One from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist;

Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!

For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,

Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,

Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—

For the grapes’ sake along the wall.

--Robert Frost

The picture of you and Bob is wonderful! Fall here just a few hours from you has been lovely. We had our first snow last night. It has already melted, but I ran out and took a few pictures. With the snow, the few leaves still on the ground, and the grass still green, it was so pretty, and it smelled incredible! Am I the only one who can really smell snow, and loves it?

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
