Saturday after library computer time and lunch returned to the house to empty the van from CR and do some "pick and put" in the garage. Got the SE corner done, swept and two tables set up before I ran out of steam. Potato soup with chedderwurst for supper (Leofwyna says etable)... I say yumtious!!! Got second boil done on the cinnamon pickles.

Wednesday we pulled the trailer into the garage for the winter.  That evening was, of course, moot followed by supper with the gang at Culvars.  At home again I finished stitching down the new binding on the TOSB comforter.  Thursday I cooked up the pumpkin and made two batches of banana bread.   I brought the rest of the canning jars and the Gold Key totes into the house.  Outside the cold is bitter these days and I'm reluctant to go out.

Monday was sunny and somewhat warmer so Leofwyna and I got out and organized the garage for winter.  Now there's room for the camper to go under cover when we get back from Kris Kinder next week.  

Friday I put some time in on the computer at the library.  After lunch I stopped in at the central Goodwill and found a set of plastic drawers.  At the cutting table in the evening I'm still dealing with slicing the washed cutters into strips.  Leofwyna had also brought home a set of plastic drawers for me to sort into so I started reorganizing as things had been getting somewhat cramped.  This will take awhile but will make it much easier to access pieces when I'm building new tops.

Saturday I went to crown tournament in Council Bluffs alone.  Both Leofwyna and Morgana were under the weather and stayed home.  It was a beautiful day and the 31 contestant field moved briskly along taking merely 3.5 hours to reach a conclusion.  Ashir and Ashland are now the prince and princess.  Court lasted long and accomplished much but a keenly anticipated accolade was not included at this time.  At least Leofwyna didn't miss it thereby.  I left before feast, stopping at PlaToo for my supper before continuing home.

Sunday we both went up to Omaha for Annalise and Gavin's afternoon wedding.  It was another glorious day and the lovely ceremony was held in a beautiful yard at UNO's Alumni building.  Afterwards there was time for a stop at one Thrift World where Leofwyna bought bagsfull of stuff.  We got back to Lincoln in time for me to grab a burger on the way to gaming at Theron's where a 'stony' troop of bullies were ignored, then a little later 8 trogs and two trolls were destroyed.  The wagon is yet to be repaired but it has been unloaded. 

Sunday after lunch I spent part of the afternoon on the computer at the library.  I mowed the verges, watered and picked tomatoes, then Leofwyna and I did a little condensing in the garage before I cleaned up to go to game night where I killed at least three kobalds.  Back at home I continued putting together the vintage wedding ring eyes.  It was late when Leofwyna and I cleared the laundry room for tomorrow's laborers.

Tuesday after computer time at the library and lunch I headed back home to work on the pile of boards.  I got the nails and brass removed and piled then under the 'table' temporarily.  On the run to FoodNet I got two lemons, one potato, one onion, a box of couscous, half a dozen eggs, and a loaf of Italian bread.  I ran a couple bags of cutter rolls through the laundry.  After leftovers for supper I finished cutting the red strips and ironed the print cutters. 

Saturday was the local celebration for Sash's life.  There was a lovely display of his work and photos and a good turnout for it.   Shelly stayed until Sunday afternoon, then we worked in the backyard late clearing branches and reducing the logs to pile up.  We'll deal with the logs in November; we want to put together the pollinator boxes with them.  I got the beans shelled, bagged and put in the freezer.  Monday I cleared the tomato plants from the garden and mowed the entire yard since there was a possibility of rain Tuesday night.  Tuesday we finished in the garage and pulled in the camper for the winter.  I did laundry and packed up for the trip.  Wednesday Leofwyna stayed home preparing for the next three weeks while I went on over to moot.  There's no philosophy this month or next but we did have a finance committee meeting to deal with WWM details and Yule Court site.  Thursday I canned the last of the tomatoes and cleaned out the refridgerater.  All week at the sewing table I was doing nine-patches and there's still more to do to empty that box.  There should be enough of them for a couple tops.

Friday I loafed; I needed it.  Leofwyna and Shelly had tickets for ballet in Omaha.  Saturday while Leofwyna went to the pre-cook I mowed.  Shelly headed home in the evening.  Sunday I did laundry.  Sunday and Monday Leofwyna worked in the garage removing some cupboards... turned out they were nastier than we'd realized.  Monday I harvested the shell beans at the community garden and came to the decision that I'll keep my gardening at home next year.  As I was finishing up I ran across a praying mantis.  It was four inches long and the wings were the exact same color as the dried beans I was picking.  At the sewing table I'm still working 1.25" strips.
