Today was an easy day. I did some errands and had bloodwork done. Bill and I went up Richard Russell Parkway and looked at leaves for about 30 minutes or so. They are so beautiful this year! Vivid yellows and reds that just glow with the sunshine. The sky was so blue that it made the leaves stand out even more. We even picked some. They are part yellow with red spots, and yellow with green spots, and red with yellow veins. It is a bouquet of leaves…now to figure out what to do with them. Then I had a massage and a nap. After dinner, while Peter was at soccer practice I went to Curves to work out. I was the only one there. It was a very productive day.
I have a couple of little red spots on my arm that look like bruises but not really…kind of like red birthmarks. It isn’t from the needle today because it is in a different part of my arm and I didn’t notice them until tonight. One of the things they say to watch for is red places because when platelets are low, bleeding is common. I am going to call tomorrow to see if I need to be concerned. At this point they don’t appear to be getting bigger and I feel fine…sooo we will see. I am thinking maybe the tape from the bloodwork caused it when I pulled it off??? I will call tomorrow.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not (Emerson)
The beautiful is a phenomenon which is never apparant of itself, but is reflected in a thousand different works of the creator (Goethe)
Every man is two men,one is awakein the darkness,the other asleep in the light.(Gibran)
You are our hope, Lord, our anchor in a raging sea. Selah !

You can make “stained glass” with the leaves and a few other items — crayon shavings, bits of colored tissue paper, and waxed paper. Arrange your stuff between two sheets of waxed paper and press it with a warm iron. When it cools you can hang it up and enjoy it. It probably would be a good idea to put some sort of rag or clean paper between the iron and the waxed paper. It has been a long time since I have done this. I learned about it at a Crayola workshop for classroom teachers back when I was teaching third grade, which is before you were born!
