Walnut Oatmeal Patties

The morning air was cool. A welcome change from the long hot summer mornings we have been seeing for so many months. Leaves were falling from the old cotton wood tree and floating to the ground. The chickens were scratching at the ground and rustling the crispy leaves. It just felt like the start of fall today even though the calendar tells me it has a bit of time before officially arriving.
When I came in the house, it seemed a bit like fall too. I have replaced the summer colors with browns, gold's, burgundy, deep greens. The basket of wool now holds pumpkin color roving and other fall color wool. At times I will sit for an hour or more, spinning and thinking, maybe music playing in the background, but more often just the steady hum of the wheel is the sound filling my ears. Spinning gives me time to think about my life. A life filled with simplicity and lots of love. Today I will work on spinning yarn for knitting warm woolie socks to keep our toes toasty warm in the cold winter months. I love caring for my family, seeing to their creature comforts. I am reminded of this verse from Proverbs 31:13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
May my hands always be eager to do what is good and right !
