I was hoping my ankle wasn't "really" hurt when I fell on Monday, but...it's still pretty swollen. Luckily, it isn't really painful, I just have to be careful when I step up or down on something. Since I'm not the most graceful person around, I do find myself forgetting to be careful, and am very rudely reminded when I step wrong...

I took advantage of Indigenous People's Day yesterday - Alli's day program was open and the bank was closed, so Chris an I took Ripley up to Castle Lake for a short hike. We were hoping for some fall colors, but the leaves are just starting to change - even in the higher elevations, It was a beautiful day - the lake was so still that the reflections were amazing! I did take a tumble on the trail, so am hobbling a bit today. I twisted by right ankle in my fall, and am finding a few more areas today that I hit - like where my car keys were in my back pocket...ouch!

We had a jewelry/craft day yesterday here at the house. Polly showed us how to make wire wrap rings, I made a pair of "cold forged" earrings, and a fleece pumpkin.
Leona brought skull beads, so Polly made us all skull rings.
The fleece I picked up was a set designed to make a blanket , so included two colors of fleece.
I could only once one color though - Jessie took a nap on my orange fleece...

A first for me - my store-bought tomatoes started sprouting inside the tomato. At first glance, I was very, very scared....what is on my tomatoes!!! A better look showed they were sprouts (not bugs as I first through, thank goodness!) I had to look it up - it's called "vivipary" and if it wasn't headed into winter, I could grow new tomatoes.

Another set of blocks done for the Sparkler Society (aka block-a-month club) are done. Two more months left in the project, and I can hopefully get the quilt put together/finished by Christmas. I had forgotten I had this to do, and almost fell a month behind - not a good thing. The more complex blocks like this one take a bit of time to do.
