It is time for my twice yearly gripe about time change. Yes, it is time to turn the clocks back one hour. My complaint is the same as usual: Just pick one—> Regular time or Daylight Savings time. Either is fine with me but pick one and stay with it! The time change is not as bad now that I am retired but how I remember it was not so easy to deal with when I was working rotating shifts. I understand that the Senate has passed legislation to make Daylight Savings Time permanent but it seems to be hung up in the House. Arrgghh!!
The butterfly count is going down. We still have some Monarchs and Queens, a few Gulf Fritillaries, and lots of Sachems. We have a cold front coming Friday and I anticipate the end of the butterflies for this year. It was so beautiful this year with hundreds of butterflies on the blue mist right by the brick pathway so that you could watch them close up.
I am putting the borders on my Blue & Brown quilt. I thought I would finish it today but it just didn’t happen. Tomorrow. I found a couple of French General patterns that I really like. I plan to order them tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the midterm Election Day. JMM and I voted by mail weeks ago. Very convenient. I do my best to concentrate only on those things that are in my control. Voting is really the only thing I can control so once I’ve voted, I avoid the constant news barrage leading up to the election. I will find out what the outcome was the next day or the next. I doubt very much if anything changes here in Republican Texas but in any case, JMM and I will be just fine whatever happens. Then after Election Day on Tuesday, the campaign for 2024 begins Wednesday....blah!!
My first Tovala food delivery comes tomorrow. The oven came last week and TSMR came over Sunday and figured out the wifi set up and got it all ready to cook when the food arrives. I am really looking forward to this. I’m getting 4 meals a week. The menu selections look wonderful and I am happy that I will be getting one vegetarian meal a week.

The time change is annoying, it messes up my sleeping.
I dropped off my ballot, now I hope all goes well.
I have seen the Tovala oven and food commercials, it looks interesting.
Take care, enjoy your day!
I'll be looking up Tovala as soon as I post this!! Love knowing about all your wonderful butterflies. I would like DST all year and hope it passes eventually somehow. (Although I know there are more important things to hope for in our legislature. But the time thing actually does affect me personally!) Hope all is well -- I'm back to the blog and back to Florida. Happy Holiday Season.
