What a difference a few days makes to the weather, we seem to be having rain, rain and more rain along with the temperatures dropping. The weekend saw us hunker down a little and put the heating back on. We are so thankful that we have a full tank of oil and were able to fill it at such a low cost. Of course that does mean that we are seeing some beautiful rainbows. Rainbows always make me
smile as I ponder the pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow. If only that were true...or maybe it is when you consider Genesis 9:16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.
Look at the beauty of those skies. The rainbow looks as if the sky is divided as the rain passes over and once again the sun shows her beautiful face.
I made the mistake of continuing in my quest to get all the soft furnishings washed. What a mistake to make, I now have them hanging on clothes racks in the hall and bathroom. Making it feel more like the middle of winter than midsummer. Another tick off my list to do getting ready for Winter. Jam making is on the list but as yet I have no fruit with the exception of rhubarb so this may remain on the list for awhile. I have been interested to read how so many of you are preparing for a second wave of Covid 19 along with predicted Brexit shortages. I thought it prudent to make another list and add a few more essentials to the cupboard but storage is a big issue in our little cottage so I do need to be sensible about it.
I have been surprised by the amount of crafting materials/supplies I have got through during lockdown and have started to make yet another list of things that I would like to replenish. I would appreciate your suggestions if you come across any sales particularly for card making/scrap booking/journal making as I have a limited budget. It is amazing how much I miss the bargains from a car boot sale or charity shop.
I also have a list of gifts that I have ready for Birthdays and indeed Christmas so that I know where the gaps are and write down ideas as I think of them or see them.
So many lists that keep me organised and are also fun. Are you a fan of a list?
Hope all is well with you, take care and stay safe.
See you soon.
