My back is getting better. I don’t recommend having a coughing fit with a sore back, but other than that, it’s slowly getting stronger. I was talking to Don yesterday and looked over at my chair, with a pillow and heating pad added to the mix, and I said that it looked like an old lady lived here. Just add some BioFreeze and Vicks to the table and the picture would be complete. I’m grateful for that heating pad, but I’ll be glad when I can give it a rest.
Two girls were dressed yesterday.
Wren – who was looking for a place to read on the porch. She needed some privacy.
(I’ve never seen that girl smile.)
And Lucy. She’s giving me ‘the look.’
That girl is a handful.
I crocheted another hat, which you’ll see at some point. Now, I’m contemplating crocheting a tiny hat for Wren/Lily, my smaller BJD dolls. It may be an exercise in frustration; we’ll have to see.
Hey, it’s all keeping me sane.
I read for a chunk of time this morning. Very satisfying. Today, Don is going to tackle mowing. Much as I want to mow – I really missed it during the drought – pushing a lawnmower is not advisable at this point in my back recovery. So, I’ll do some laundry, dust, clean the kitchen, and crochet. I don’t have to coach again until Wednesday.
We’re having very cool mornings, with a warm up later on in the day. Fall is here.
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.

Nora Mills says
Hated to do it but had to turn on the heat for about half an hour this morning. I’m happy to see the girls wearing sweaters. You two keep well
Claudia says
You must have been cold! It wasn’t that cold here.
Thanks so much, Nora.
Stay safe.

kathy in iowa says
glad your back is improving … and that you’ll still take it easy. does don like to mow the lawn as much as you do?
also glad that you could spend a longer time/ had more focus for reading.
the girls and their outfits are cute … i would like a sweater like lucy’s. i am confident you will be able to make hats in smaller sizes.
enjoying cooler mornings here, but a week of high 80s to low 90s is predicted for us. i’m not pushing for winter, but am ready for sweater weather.
hope you all have a nice day and stay safe. happy saturday!
kathy
Claudia says
Yes, he loves to mow.
Stay safe, Kathy.
Barrie says
Wren and Lucy are looking very cute today… always good to see them reading!
Glad your back is better…I know what you mean about coughing fits with a bad back…no fun!
Just went for a short walk and it had a bit of a fall feel…much better than all that heat from before! Even expecting some needed rain later on.
Claudia says
Much more fall-like here lately. I’m enjoying the cool mornings.
Stay safe, Barrie.
Elaine in Toronto says
Just love seeing pictures of your girls. And thanks for inspiring me to adopt one. I was wondering if there are little boy Blythe dolls? Take gentle care. Hugs, Elaine
Claudia says
There are. I’ve seen them here and there, but that’s all done by the customizer.
Stay safe, Elaine.
Cheryl says
Maybe crochet some sweaters for the girls?
Claudia says
Probably not! Too tiny and sleeves.
Stay safe, Cheryl.
Kay+Nickel says
Love that blue color. Feel better soon.
Claudia says
Thanks, Kay.
Stay safe.
Christine says
I am really enjoying the fashion show being put on by the dolls. I am envying their outfits though. They are much better dressed than I am.
Claudia says
Oh, lord, they’re so far beyond my daily jeans and t-shirt!
Thanks, Christine.
Stay safe.
jeanie says
I’m catching up again, so I hope it’s MUCH improved by now. I know what you mean about the “old lady” picture! My heating pad is a constant companion and you may well find other “aids” on the coffee table. All depends what day you ask!
Claudia says
Sigh.
I guess that’s the way it is these days!
Stay safe, Jeanie.
