It's a beautiful fall morning. I got out on the road early today because a radio turned itself on at 6:16 this morning. Hmmmmmm
Anyway, I needed to be up because tonight is our bonfire to celebrate our CD. They are due to arrive at the church office today!!!

At the moment I have a pot of maple cream fudge boiling on the stove. Lately I have had issues with it not hardening like it should. I also haven't been using my special fudge pot. So today I have my fudge pot and a candy thermometer.

Yesterday I did some inventory for our craft shows. Made a lot of room sprays. Next week I'll pour more candles and tarts.

Friday of the Twenty-eighth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Hedwig, Religious (1174-1243), St. Gerard Majella, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin (1647-1690)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12:1-7.

Meanwhile, so many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. He began to speak, first to his disciples, "Beware of the leaven--that is, the hypocrisy--of the Pharisees. There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
