Well the holidays are coming - Solstice and Christmas. It has been busy, busy around here!! I have almost finished my baking, and the house is full of different types of fudge, pecan bars (almost gone somehow, must be magick!), buckeyes, banana nut bread, marshmallow pops, cookies and peppermint bark. The denim pocket quilt is almost complete for my mother in law, and I'll be making the kids pajamas tonight. The boy's are of a lime green material with red stripes, the girls are of a coordinating red material with lime polkadots. They'll look like Thing1 and Thing2, but hey, they're still young enough to think it's neat!
While at the store I found something that I had to bring home. It is a small 1'-2' tree, and a commonly used herb of rosemary. Looks like a little pine tree and is making the house smell just wonderful!!
It's a busy weekend planned. Saturday is filled with family get togethers and I'm supposed to have everything done by that night as my husband has informed me it is "Mother's Night". Sunday the kids have thier Irish dance classes (complete with "holiday party") and then later that evening is a HUGE Solstice Celebration at the local UU church. I'm very excited, and is my mate. Tomorrow when we meet for the weekly bonfire he plans on asking what one wears to such a thing. Hopefully nothing too particular - various illnesses and injuries over the two years have added a few pounds and let my wardrobe rather limited! Sunday or Monday I'll be doing my initiation ritual, which I need to do some study for. Then Monday night we'll have a semi-traditional meal of roast pork. Then it's wrapping and cleaning like a madwoman before my mom gets here on Thursday! Wow! By the following week, I can relax as my busy season will be over.
We went to the local library yesterday. I was able to get a few books on my areas of study for the next year, while adding in another area. (No type A here at all!) I've left the books in the car; the temptation is too great otherwise!
Back to work. Can't wait to see how the celebration goes on Sunday!
From the wind in the trees,
