It is a beautiful day out today. Feels like fall, but the temps will warm up again by the end of the week. This little taste makes me look forward to autumn.

Last night we mixed for more songs for our choir CD. We will mix 3 more tonight and hopefully record the master and then it's time to duplicate them.

I checked the garden this morning. Tomatoes are still green except for the 3 that I picked.

Yesterday Harold removed the skirting from the front porch. Then he power washed the porch. After that he removed the shutters from the front and sides of the house and power washed those. While he is on his fishing trip I will be staining the porch. Then I'm going to paint the shutters burgundy. I can't wait!

Yesterday I was working on stockings and cinnamon coasters. Today I will do the same.

Wednesday of the Twenty-second week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : Bl. Ingrid of Sweden, (+1282)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 4:38-44.

After he left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Messiah. At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, "To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent." And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
