I have harvested some more mint and it is now hanging to dry, ready for those Winter months. I have also added some more oils chilli and basil to the store cupboard.
I have finally finished the Christmas scrapbook. I did the main one of our trip to Efteling but didn't get around to doing our trip around the family. I really enjoyed the process and loved looking back at some of the photos and the joy our children and grandchildren bring. I loved browsing through some of their artwork that we were given, each piece made with love.
I do thank you for all your well wishes to Gerard, his change of medication is hitting him hard and he is in considerable discomfort but he is coping well. We are going to enjoy a meal together now and watch a film. A movie night in.
Thankfully the sun has been shining today but we still have cool temperatures, I am tempted to light the stove. Where are the lazy, hazy days of Summer? I must admit we are enjoying some wonderful evening skies despite the inclement weather.
These are about 10pm, amazing just how light it still is.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
See you soon.
Lovely post. Enjoyed all of it. Hope Gerard gets sorted. We have had our wood burner on every night, tonight possibly not as it has been warm all day. But then come evening the temperatures plummet. We too have had amazing skies.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Ten o’clock and still that light! Amazing! Saying a prayer that Gerard and his meds will come to a friendly truce. I have been playing with fabric lately and my efforts were a bit off. (To say the least.)
ReplyDeleteI think it's getting cooler rather than warmer here too. Those skies are spectacular though, I would sit and gaze on that sky forever
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky. Sounds so nice to enjoy a meal and then a movie. Steve and I enjoy a quiet evening and a good movie at home also.
ReplyDeletePrayer for Gerard that he will have a smoother go with the meds.
You have some pretty Christmas fabric there. Look forward to seeing what you make with it.
Wishing you a great week end
Betsy
Hello Lorraine. I'm sitting here wrapped in a blanket and it's really chilly out. I'm debating heading out to the lake, but I can sit and knit there all wrapped up too.
ReplyDeleteI like how you have everything all sorted for Christmas already. I've begun knitting some socks for gifts and I have a scarf finished. It takes awhile when you make homemade!
I'm sorry Gerard is still struggling. Changes of medication are hard. I started a new one about 2 weeks ago with some not so fun side affects so the doctor is now taking me off of it very slowly.
I do hope he is much better very soon.
Blessings,
Betsy
I love playing with my fabric, though I cant say it is always productive!
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband is able to cope with the change of meds, it isnt easy.
lovely post. You are always a busy bee.
ReplyDeleteLoves and hugs!
Hope Gerard feels better soon. Beautiful sky pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising what you have stashed away isn't it? I hope Gerard's medication soon has the desired effect. Lovely photos. I love the light nights, just not so much the light mornings! Being awake at 4am every morning is telling on me. Best, Jane x

Oh, that sky is beautiful. You are so well organized. I enjoyed a movie in last night, too. It was so much fun! Thanks for the reminder about Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Gerard gets some relief soon, a terrible thing to have to live with, I hope the change of medication works. It's fun looking through the stash, I look forward to seeing what you make over the coming months.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you spend time making lovely scrap books full of memories. I missed your last post, so sorry to hear that Gerard is in so much discomfort. I hope he gets used to his new medication very soon xx
ReplyDeleteThat light is amazing. Great idea to get started on Christmas early.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you can start making your Christmas gifts an that you don't have to break the budget to do so. It's wonderful when you have everything on hand. I'm interested in your mint drying. Is that all you do is hang it, let it dry, bag it up and it's ready for tea? I planted mint last Summer and it is going bonkers this year. Having my own mint tea would be fantastic this winter.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some warm days soon. June is well on its way and it's high time for pleasant sunny days!
ReplyDeleteI like the moody sky pictures. And, like usual I like to see what you're making. The Christmas fabrics are super cute.
We had a rare [for this area] thunderstorm this afternoon and I have the heater on because it is so chilly...the ups and downs of end of Spring weather! I admire your organization and planning ahead, and your plans for a movie night in. I think I will knit and watch a movie tonight, too :-) Happy Weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteyou know it'll be soon the longest day of the year and then the nights will start to draw in.........Summer is late starting her also.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you are so organized! I should follow your lead and sort through my fabric and yarn and see what winter projects I can come up with!
ReplyDeleteI love how you're always on top of your crafts and ahead of the holidays! That certainly takes practice to not fall behind.
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed with how you get started with your Christmas gifts ahead of time. I'm such a last minute person. I hope Gerard feels better soon. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThe way time flies Christmas will be here before you know it :-) I'm impressed with your organization, a great way to reduce holiday stress. Sending good thoughts for Gerard's health.

I enjoy seeing your craft projects getting them ready as gifts for your family members and friends. You make beautiful gifts and always preparing them ahead of time. Those scrapbooks are filled with beautiful memories which you and your children will treasure.
ReplyDeleteI expect when you are making lots of gifts it is good to plan ahead and make sure you have all you need to get started then you don't have to rush at the last minute. Great to keep a scrapbook of precious memories:)
ReplyDeleteAlways prepared for anything !!!! Good for you !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend !
Anna
You are always the first person I know to mention Christmas - so well-organised! The Christmas scrapbook looks lovely, what a good way to capture the memories. Do you make one every year? I hope Gerard's health continues to improve. x
ReplyDeleteWishing you both the best as you travel this rough patch.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem, that toward sunset time, last rays of the sun seem to peek *under* the cloud cover. And we can get a lovely sunset. It's a very interesting phenomenon. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that your sun set is so late. You are higher, than we are. Or however it is termed. :-)
✨✨✨✨
It's really sunny here at 7 pm, the best it's been all day! What great sunsets.
ReplyDeleteI just completed a Christmas cross stitch and now I need to decide what to do with it....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and for taking the time to comment!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Oh no not Christmas! Well done for getting organised. I hope Gerard starts to feel better soon. Lovely sunset photos, take care. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI am 48, have 3 children, 2 boys age 25 and 22 and a daughter of 11. My husband left me last year after 25 years of marriage (he turned 50). It has been the most difficult year of my life, but full of lessons about myself and what life and marriage are all about. I am passionate about marriage and i didn't give up on my husband. Am Arice Stringer by name and resides in USA, I entered online in search of advice on how i can amend my marriage while i was at work. I saw so many positive reviews and nice feed back about how a Doctor called Robinson.buckler@ yahoo. com has been wonderful with his work. I gave a shot to make contact with him via his Email and he assured me that my marriage will be peaceful and i believed in his words. 16 hours after he finished work, my husband came back home pleading and now, we are living peacefully again. Get in contact with him if you need any help.
ReplyDeleteI see that Santa's elf is at it again.
