It's almost October - amazing how fast this year has flown past. I've set up my next Bullet Journal set of pages, transferring in notes about appointments. I still don't have a lot, but I do see my hairdresser every other month now, and a few places where there is a comfort level with or without masks. Friends resumed "First Friday" at their house this month and the next one is Friday. Those invited are vaccinated (this week we'll probably be outdoors - and that reminds me, I told her I'd dig up a salvia variety I have here that is kind of unusual. Last month she sent me home with an agave to replace the ones lost in our February freeze.) Dorothy's concert attendance reminds me that there are a few precious occasions to meet and talk with people, though I'm still keeping notes about where and when I'm going out for my own informal contact tracing effort.

I have planks for a new fence panel in the garage and need to go ahead and work on the next section. That won't happen until I make a decision about the gate, so that goes to the top of my "to do" list for October. I need to resume some of the mask making (a few to list on eBay) and that means finishing the work on the sewing machine. Finishing work on the fence will clear space on the floor of my garage, and fixing the machine will let me finish a lot of masks that were started when the timing went pear-shaped.

It's also getting to the season when the dogs need their beds out on the floor - several newer ones that the puppy started to tear up were put in the front room out of reach. I mended them but now I need to work on the covers for those (made from pieces from the sofa cover thing that I don't plan to deploy any more). Another sewing project.
