Fall Challenge

[hana]

Here's the Fall challenge. A bit early, my company's retreat is this weekend so I'm busy finishing up some event planning and getting some stuff done before the end of the fiscal year.

October finish it project
November finish it project

Spider quilt

Pull up winter blankets

Guess the server issues ate my earlier post

October finish it project 25% done
November finish it project not yet
December finish it project not yet
work on 2026 goals no
fall trip packing and at the what did I forget stage
Spider quilt 25% done
Sort summer clothing not yet
Pull up winter blankets too warm

Leaving on the fall trip soon and the weather says it will be unusually warm in the Midwest for out trip, though part of it will be colder than usual. We're packing for all four seasons at this point. October's project is a pair of socks, between the trip and volunteering at the community haunted house, I figure a small project I can work on during down time is best.

I had posted my list during the server issues, so will re-post it now. I'm keeping it modest because I expect Mom to become more high maintenance and it's a busy time for the rose garden restoration.

• Closet cleanout
• Seasonal stuff: hoses, hammock, container plants, fountain, storm door panels, etc.
• Complete "Five Wishes" document
• Prepare for Holiday Stroll on 12/6 where we will have a table selling pottery
• Experiment with watercolor paint set
• Get radiator covers for parlor and front porch (I think we're going to buy metal ones like the one we scored for the bedroom).

Hana, I love your reference to the "what did I forget stage" of packing. That is definitely a thing, isn't it? I usually do a pre-packing list of "things I'm afraid I might forget."
