Counting my blessings and hooking too

Today I am counting my blessings.

1. Hurricane Earl changed course at the last minute and we had an un-eventful day.  However the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia was not so lucky.  They received the storm instead of the Bay of Fundy side.  Tons of downed trees, property damage and approx 200,000 homes without power.  

2.  All my family and friends - safe and sound.

3. The temperature has dropped from 32 degrees to a comfortable 19 degrees this evening.  Oh happy day!!!

4. I have had several new followers in the past few weeks and have been getting lots of comments.  I especially want to thank all my blog buddies who expressed concern for us as the storm approached.  I really do appreciate all the comments from followers and occasional visitors.  Its just nice to know I'm not talking to myself!   LOL

There are many more blessings but this is not a novel!

Since today was a normal day, I decided to defer the bunny project and work towards finishing hooking the 2nd pillow.  A little more progress
As anxious as I am to get going on that adorable little bunny (a Deanne Fitzpatrick pattern) I don't need another half finished project hanging around.   If I am lucky I might have the hooking done by the end of the weekend.

Thanks again for visiting!

  3. Kim honey I was so relieved when I saw where the storm was and thought it had missed you.
    I was praying that you and your family would be kept safe. These storms are just toooo scary.
    Girl are you serious 19 degrees already...surely I did not read that right.lol
    It is still in the 90's here....very hot of course not in the 100's ...I am so glad of that.
    Hope your having a wonderful weekend.
    Oh I was wondering Kim have you ever crochet a rag rug from material. Someone had a post about it and I can not think for the life of me who it was. lol
    Love

  7. I am so glad everything worked out okay, I thought about you all day and when I read that there were 200,000 people without power, I prayed you were not one of them. So glad at the last minute it Earl changed his mind. I am also very glad the temperatures dropped too. Your pillow looks wonderful.
    Have a great day.
