Another productive week! I spent as much of it as I could outside, getting the outdoors ready for us to spend the next 4 months indoors. This week I'll finish, I think. The tractor needs the mower deck off and the snow blade on. Could stand an oil change too, now that I think of it. I should do that on the zero-turn as well. It is going to be dry until the end of the week (knock wood!) and Wednesday/Thursday are supposed to be gorgeous weather, so that's the plan. I do need to call about a fuel oil delivery - they should have come at the end of October, but haven't yet. It's not an emergency, but if they've overlooked us, it could become one depending on how far out the next scheduled fill is.

I have a lot of Daniel's quilt done, and will have the whole top pieced, with borders by the end of the week. I want to be outside as much as I can while the weather holds, but I need to sew every day anyway. Until the order from Fabric.com arrives (it shipped Friday) I'll work on that, and sewing on the eyes of my monsters. This afternoon I'm gonna cut those Santa hats since it's dry and not horrifically cold. The other option is to do it in the house and vacuum IMMEDIATELY after. I'll have to do that when I sew them as it is. GAH!! I forgot crayon rolls! I bought a whole bunch of cheap crayons (and markers, and sharpies) in September at Back to School sales. The rolls are quick too, but thank goodness I though of them now and not 3 weeks from now! I can work on those while I wait for the fabric order.

St. Peter's held their annual Penny Fair yesterday. I'll head over in a while to check the list to see if I won anything. Always fun, and a super cheap way to spend an hour or so. Now though, coffee. I feel like the walking dead this morning. Can't say why, though...
