Winter Approacheth
We are in that strange time of year that is between seasons ... the calendar says Autumn but the weather certainly feels like winter! All the gorgeous fall colors we enjoyed this season are completely fallen off the trees now, and the temps have plummeted. We have even had some light dusting of early snow this week, which puts one in the holiday spirit. Mike and I have broken out the flannel sheets, the electric blanket, and the heavy coats. It's also hard to choose: autumn or Christmas stitching?
I have been super busy getting started with my new job, that I haven't had much time for posting here. I sent off two sets of fair squares today, so I'll have those to show soon. In the last month I also finished up the stitching on a 2007 JCS Christmas ornie, put a little progress into Where My Heart Blooms, and worked some on the large piece for Autumn Song by BBD.
Let's see, I was also tagged some time ago by both Jennifer and Tanya to share 6 Random Things About myself. I am going to be a delinquent tagger and not pass it on to 6 others, but feel free to snag this if you want!
1. My hometown is considered part of the "Dairy Capital" of Texas.
2. My father is a large animal vet.
3. I speak Spanish.
4. I am the only daughter of an only daughter, and my first name, Ruth, has been passed on for 4 generations of women.
5. I also read Greek and Hebrew.
6. I hate pickles.

The snow the other day was just gorgeous - big fluffy flakes coating the trees and the ground, but I suspect you got less of it that we did, as we got less than some of the more western suburbs.
Wow being able to read Greek and Hebrew is a special talent!
We broke out our flannels already too.
I received my chart, I am sorry for not emailing you to let you know. I just thought about it.
Take Care!
glad you are enjoying the change in seasons :)

HUGS!
I hope all is going well with your new job.
Hope all is well with your new job. Your stitching looks lovely as usual.
I'm the only daughter of an only daughter too and my maternal grandmom's name was Ruth. I have a similar name to her middle name of Caroline (her mom's name, mine is Carol). My youngest brother gave his daughter the middle name of Caroline. : )
Language is not my forte-that's awesome you can read such complex ones.
It is really cold over here in England. Where I live we had snow this morning and also just over a week ago. I so rarely get snow it's lovely to see it.
Hugs,
