It's a very smoky Sunday with air quality very bad due to all the wildfires. The full moon last night (the Harvest Moon) was deep orange in colour as is the sun today all because of the smoke.
Except for a mishap when I slipped on the stairs and fell it was a good week. I'm so thankful that I didn't break any bones!! The mishap happened because I was wearing slippery socks and hurrying down the varnished wood stairs. And talking on the phone at the same time. Yes, very foolish of me.
I 'm still nibbling away at all the little tasks that have been neglected during the heat of summer. This week I dusted my miniature shoe and purse collection. I counted and there are 21 shoes, 11 tiny purses, 2 mannequins and 10 pins ( brooches).

Middle and youngest sons did some pickling in my kitchen. I'm designated keeper of jars, pickling salt,
I'm hoping for cooler weather in the week ahead. Some rain would be very welcome. I would not be surprised to find that we've set a new record for least rain in July and August------- 7mm in August and 5 mm in July. I have no idea how that translates into inches but its a very very small amount.
Thanks for coming by, I hope your day is a good one.

I hope you feel well after slipping! It sounds bad with the wildfires, I hope you get some rain soon. I love all your collections, so nice to see.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm also glad you didn't break any bones! No more sloppy socks on stairs :)
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of brooches - you seldom see people wearing them any more yet they are so pretty.
I have a collection of pottery baby shoes, just an extension of my McCoy and Shawnee pottery.
ReplyDeleteWe are beginning to think about putting away some yard furniture and decorations. But first we need to get to the Whidbey garden and tear into it. It's a desiccated mess.
I am so glad that you are okay from falling. Bless your heart. I worry about falling myself. You have quite a wonderful selection there GM of sweet things. I love it. I have a few pairs of shoes too. Your pickling looks good. I have been wanting some pickled okra! Hope your week is wonderful. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny shoe-collection! :)))
ReplyDeleteBut first: What a good luck, that you did not have a bad accident by falling downstairs! Your guardian-angel made a very good work!! Sometime it happens, that we hurry - - -
And then: O the forest is burning!! We had a similar problem in August in the north- and the west parts of Germany. The climate is changing - - Our globe need the trees!!!!!
Congratulation for good sons!! We say: "The apple does not fall far away from the tree" !! :))
Many greetings and have a good week!
Your Dori from the Bavarian Forest
Busy time!! And a lot accomplished. Hope the fall wasn't serious.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your tiny purses and shoes....wow your pickling looks great....and sooooo sorry you had a fall. So glad you didn't break anything. Sorry about all your area smoke too.....sure hope that clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry to hear about your fall. Hope you're not too sore!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your fall but glad no bones were broken. This is one reason we would like to have a home with no stairs. Maybe someday. Your tiny purses, shoes and brooches are so pretty. I have a lot of pins and brooches but rarely wear them. They are gifts or belonged to my Mom.
ReplyDeleteTake care and no more slipping.
Blessings,
Betsy
I would buy you socks with sandpaper soles if I thought it would help ❣️
ReplyDeleteOh those smoky days and breathing that is so not good. Take care. Falls also are no fun. My hip was giving me lots of issues causing falls till a steroid shot last week. No pain and no falls either. Wishing you the best with no falls.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty collection! Sorry to hear about your fall...it is so easy to do:(
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did not break any bones...let me tell you that is not fun. Those pickled beans looks delicious...
ReplyDeleteI already fell in my stairs twice hopefully you did not break anything! We also have new fires in the south west it is so hot there. Here is becomes cooler and we are having rain.
ReplyDeleteI love your miniature collections! Wish I could wiggle my nose and see it in person! Like Samantha is Bewitched!
ReplyDeleteI love that little saying at the end. By mid-September, the weather has begun to break, and there really is a feeling of autumn cheer! I'm so sorry about the smoke and wildfires. I hope you get rain soon and the fires die out. I've also re-used canning lids before (for home items) and have found that they seal fine. Always a gamble, but I do try! And NO MORE falling down stairs!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you didn't break any bones. Falls scare me! Your tiny collection is amazing. The little shoes and purses are beautiful! What amazing sons you have! The pickles look delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I guess I missed this! I am so sorry your fell but so glad you didn’t break anything. Yes, socks and slippery stairs aren’t a good combo! Take care!
