'Tis Fall . . . Finally!

Lovely, lovely weather! Car thermometer said 55 degrees this morning. This is my kind of weather.

I haven't taken any fall pictures yet...am heading out today. So, I may add a photo here later.

This is a Baha'i Holy Day...it is commemorating the Birth of the Bab. Here is a very special quotation about this foretold event:

‎"I am, I am, I am the Promised One! I am the One Whose name you have for a thousand years invoked, at Whose mention you have risen, Whose advent you have longed to witness, and the hour of Whose Revelation you have prayed God to hasten. (Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 21) Happy Anniversary of the Birth of The Bab! Ya Ali'u'l-A'la!

I have been attempting to organize all of the art work and photos on my computer that I use when designing collages, etc. Without a doubt, the floral photos outnumber all of the others. Keeping them sorted by credit is almost impossible. It is taking a long time. But, I am amazed at the beauty of them. I'd better get busy designing again soon. Lots of imagery to use.

My scrapbooking hobby has slowed a bit. The classes I attend have taken a couple of days off. Since I prefer to work with a group of people, I haven't done much at home. Although, from now on the focus will be on making Christmas gifts.

Have spent lots of time talking to people on Yahoo IM lately. It is a great way to be in touch if travel isn't an option. I've touched bases with so many friends and new friends that my last few days have kept me in my recliner way too much! Gotta' get out and do my walking. And, have any of you gone to sleep with your laptop in bed with you? Well, it isn't the best partner, but for sure an interesting one!

Off to shopping for lots of stuff today. I'll save the rest for another day. Happy Holy Day to all of my Baha'i friends!
