Rich and I are definitely feeling our age. After our rapid trip down to our granddaughter and back and then going straight into fair week and all of that work and those late nights, we took until nearly Thursday to start recover even a little bit. We took it more easily this weekend.

Last week, the winds of change came right on schedule. This week we are officially in fall. While I love autumn, it is usually so short here, and is a harbinger of the brutal winter, so it always makes me a little sad now. We are trying to get the most out of our garden, and spend some time preserving foods so we can still eat the fresh foods of our area during the winter and spring next year.

We had fantastic burgers last week, and I want to share what we did with them, in case you want to try something like that. Rich grilled the burgers, just plain beef with the Spice House's House Blend Turkey Seasoning on them, we toasted some ciabatta rolls, and spread them with homemade mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and a little ketchup. We layered gruyère cheese, sautéed onions, fresh arugula, avocado slices, and crisp bacon on the burgers, and ate them with cherry tomatoes from our garden and cornichons. We had planned on eating potato wedges with it, but were a little full of fried and oily foods, so we grilled fresh squash and peppers from our yard to eat with them, as well.

That was one of our successful meals last week. We tried a historic apple recipe that was Lenten for one of our breakfasts. Let's just say that there is a reason it was left in history. We will not be making it again. Besides that, I have realized that I simply cannot cook for fewer than eight people. So, we are planning a leftover day at least once a week, and if, by some miracle, we don't have enough, we will make sandwiches or some other quick and easy meal. I've set that for Thursdays, as it is a meat day on which I usually have something happening in the evening, which leaves me with more time that night.

We are so excited to have two of our granddaughters this coming weekend. We will fill them with good things and let them enjoy the outdoors as we can. They will come to church with us, and we can love on them for a couple nights. It is good. As for this weekend, our parish family is yet again coming along side us and giving me the rest I need from our rather busy few weeks by providing the meal Sunday. We are so grateful for them. In the meantime, we are still trying to eat down our freezer so we can fit that mutton, a steer, and our birds in there for winter and next year. I'm even planning a turkey dinner and some roast lamb over the next month or two, so we can make even more room. Rich wants to have a poultry day each week, to eat some of our birds in the freezer which were butchered last year, to make room for the new harvest. Shelftember will begin this week, and aside from milk and produce, I am trying to eat only what we already have here, to make room for preserved foods and the meat in our freezer.

Thank you for your prayers and support over these past few months. We are getting close to resolution and are praying for the best outcome.

With fair week last week, not a lot was done around here that didn't have to do with the fair. Besides it being a busy week for us normally, we had very few volunteers at our neighborhood booth, so it was basically our family and another family working the booth with a few other people coming in to help when they could. It was exhausting. I'm just recovering from it, actually.

The project bag would have been finished, except I found a dropped stitch more than 16 rounds down, and it was just too tight to drop down and put it back in place. So, I had to frog a little, and now I'm almost back to where I was before.

Though I haven't finished the coffee cozy for Rich, it is still in my project rotation. I'm hoping to have it finished by next weekend or the week after.

I think I read exactly one page in the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge, sadly. We were just running all the time. I have been listening to Hercule Poirot short stories that Rich plays at night, though.

What a week! Fair is over, and we can feel the winds of change, right on schedule, bringing winter to us. That is sad every time. I wish we had a real autumn here. Every year it has been harder and harder to get volunteers for our community club's booth, and this year was the worst, by far. It was basically us and one other family doing most of the work, with several other people who came to help, but times when we needed four or five people there, and only had two. It was pretty brutal. We aren't quite finished, as there is still clean up, but we are looking forward to a non-fair week.

We have two family birthdays this week, though only one in the house. We still haven't decided on the dessert, so when we have that set, I will update the menu.

Our little garden is still blessing us. Considering that we thought we wouldn't have a garden this year, with all the turmoil, I am so grateful for how well it is treating us. A lot of our meals are featuring produce from our garden. We do have a bunch of repeat meals this week, simply because of how fair schedules went.

We are heading into September, and we are still trying to eat down our freezers. I will do another Shelftember challenge. Our hope is that we can make room in the freezers for a mutton and a steer. We also want to butcher quite a few of our ducks, turkeys, and geese, which will set us up for the year with fresh, healthful meat for our family and church family.

Yet again, I have cause to thank God for our parish family. They have been so supportive and kind, and are helping with the meal this week. Some of the food we are bringing was from another church meal and was in our freezers, so we can just heat it and serve it tonight. This also clears room in our freezer, so I am grateful for that, too.

Last week, we were able to take a quick trip down and back to visit Dominic and Shawn for Winnie's first birthday. It was a whirlwind, but delightful. She is taking her first steps and her other grandmother gave her a new set of wheels, pink with light up wheels in the rear. We kind of had to do a stealth visit, because there wasn't time to see anyone else while we were there. Good thing we have a peaceful, quiet week this week! (Not at all).

One of the things we did while we were down there, was to pick blackberries and plums from our dear friends' yard. I am trying not to just eat all the blackberries myself, but perhaps I will make a little crisp or something for us tomorrow. I'm hoping we will get a chance for a longer trip down, both to see the kids again, but also to see other friends and family.

Speaking of tomorrow, fair week officially begins tomorrow. We are all taking our turns on shifts at the fair booth, so it's a bit of a revolving door here all week. A few people t home, a few people at fair, then trading places. Because of our trip, we missed the last window to put in most fair entries. However, we will be entering some baked goods and plants and herbs, though.

Jerome's birthday is this week, but with fair, I'm not sure how that will go. Then, next week, we have two birthdays, between Mariam and Shawn. That is now four birthdays in August! With our daughters in law and granddaughters, we now have one birthday in January, two in March, one in May, two in June, two in July, four in August, two in October, and one in December. Birthday season now runs the whole year.

Thank God for our parish family. I knew we would be exhausted from our road trip, and so they took care of the meal at church for us. It was so delicious, and all we did was bring some corn to boil and some butter. This is another exhausting week for us, and I have a freezer meal ready for church next week, but we are still going to be pretty bone weary when that comes. The smoke has lifted a little, so we can breathe a little more easily, but we are a little more stuffed up back home than we were while visiting the kids.

This is an almost FO. In fact, it is so close, it might be finished by the end of the day today. It was not only supposed to be finished, but I had planned to have the pattern written and at the editor's already, but I think we are about two weeks from that. Alas. However, I am happy with it. It is a fun, little project and I have designed it to be two different sizes. Watch this space for information on the pattern.

We are in the last few days of the Around the World Stitch Along, and because of the turmoil in our lives, I haven't finished knitting my first project, let alone a second. It is a delightful project, and one I still want to complete, so you will see it here. I think it will be perfect for Rich at work.

Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge is nearly finished! I should finish it today or tomorrow, and next week will have a bit of a review for you!

In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you did not abandon the world, O Theotokos. As mother of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our souls from death by your intercessions.

Shudder, O ye heavens! and, O earth, give ear unto these words:
God descended once before for our sake; He descends again today for His Mother.

The feast isn't until Saturday. However, the Dormition (or Assumption, in the West - this is the same feast, but the title emphasizes a different aspect) is the fourth highest feast in the Church year, following the Paschal feast, Pentecost, and the feast of the Nativity. Church teaching is that all the apostles but Thomas were gathered mystically around the Blessed Mother as she died, and were there for her burial. Thomas, arriving three days later, was taken to her tomb, only to find that it was empty. This Church teaching of the assumption of her body into heaven is not just a pious tradition, but holds some deep spiritual and physical truths for us. It is a sign and reminder to us that not only Christ resurrected bodily, but that we all will rise. Also, we know now, as they didn't then, that all women bear the DNA of each and every child borne to them in their bodies forever. So, by raising His mother, our Lord made sure that His resurrection was complete on this earth. If this had not happened, then He would not be completely risen. What a wonder and miracle! Science, archaelogy, history, always vindicate the Church and her teachings.

Inevitably, when people deny honor to the Theotokos, it is really a dishonor to the Lord. Even denying her the title Theotokos ends up declaring that Christ was either not God in her womb, or that He is not God incarnate. It is often not intentional, but I think a good question to ask oneself when putting her "in her place" is what does this mean about Christ and His divinity? If it ends up dishonoring Him, calling His divinity into question, or lessening Him, it isn't a good thing. Likewise, so many people say that there is too much honor given her, without actually considering whether or not they honor her enough or even at all. What is just the right amount of honor? Surely it isn't debasing the woman who bore and raised our Lord? Jesus was born a Jew and fulfilled the law. He loved and honored His mother, and as we could not have had Him without her, why would we want that, instead of following His example?

The Archangel Gabriel in the Gospel of Luke hails her and says that God calls her blessed. Her cousin Elizabeth's unborn son, Saint John the Forerunner, leaps at the sound of Mary's voice, and by this does Elizabeth know and proclaim that Mary is the Mother of her Lord. Mary replies by saying that ALL generations will call her blessed. It is in the Scriptures that we are to bless her, that God Himself magnifies her, so why should we not do the same? How can we do less?

Last week, Rich and I were able to go to East Wenatchee's Havana Nights for dancing. The smoke had cleared enough that it was safe to be outdoors. We had been in Wenatchee earlier in the week when you couldn't even see the hills across the river, or the river itself. This week holds a wonderful day for us, as well, with Winnie's birthday. We are so excited for her first birthday! We also have an opportunity to have a visit with some of our kids' godparents, and are looking forward to that, as well. As next week is going to be a busy week with fair, I am really hoping we get a chance to rest up in preparation for it this week.

Speaking of needing rest, please continue to pray for our family. Our life is really catching up with us, and we are just bone weary, exhausted all the time. We are forgetting important things and missing things that need to be done. It's wearing on us more and more. Please pray for our whole area. There are at least 40 fires burning all around us. The smoke is pretty bad, though not the worst we've ever seen here. Pray for the families and business who have been displaced, and for the firefighters.

The coffee cozy has been put in a brief time out. I don't have the bandwidth to focus on the stitch pattern somehow. I think I will pull it out again for my sit and stitch. However, I've picked up Keese again, and though I didn't follow my own instructions and had to correct an error, it is pretty close to finished now. The goal is to have it written for two bag sizes and use the reverse colors on the larger size.

I really thought I would be finished with the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge by now, but instead I read Recognizing the Stranger, and finished that. Except for where she kind of has to insert her other political views (which are not surprising to me, but means that a lot of the people who really could use her perspective will have an easy way to dismiss her argument), I really thought the lecture was quite good and framed this argument in a way I had not heard/read before.

Technically, the Dormition fast has already begun. During the Dormition fast, I join with others to dedicate our prayers toward the end of abortion - not only in law, but also in practice - that nobody would ever feel the need to resort to this. We are all under so much pressure, and all coping as best as we can, and right now, I think our fast is surving it and deepening our prayers. So, please forgive me for the poor example in our menus.

Our gleaning club and garden are keeping us in beautiful, fresh produce, and we are enjoying that. We haven't had the time for a lot of preserving, but we have watermelon, peaches, apples, plums and pluots, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, salad greens, herbs, onions, fresh peas, arugula, all sorts of lovely things to eat. The winds have been coming, and with it some cold, which makes us concerned for how early winter will come, and what kind of winter we'll have, but also because of its impact on fires and our fire season. Please pray for our area, as there are so many fires, with homes lost, and lots of destruction and smoke. It is hard for the farmers and their animals as well as families.

This week holds the feast of the Transfiguration, which is also the anniversary of the loss of our sweet grandson. As hard as that memory is, I do love that it is always going to be tied with our Lord's revelation and display of how this world and the next is not strictly separated. I love the Transfiguration! We have the Trinity demonstrated in the voice of the Father and the uncreated light of the Spirit which overshadows the mountain, we have the communion of saints demonstrated and modeled (Jesus calls on not only Elijah, who never died, but Moses, in the presence of two of the Apostles - who know exactly who they are - and shows them that they can be called on in this world) to us, and we have a Theophany, a demonstration of the divinity of Christ. Saint Peter's statement about building tablernacles is not only an impetuous statement of someone not knowing what to say. It shows that Saint Peter connects what he witnesses with the Feast of Tabernacles, which is the feast of the coming Kingdom. He sees this as a sign of the Kingdom appearing on earth. On this feast, the Jewish people build booths to serve as symbols of God's dwelling among the just in the Kingdom. Moses represents the law and all who have died, and Elijah, the prophets and all who are alive in Christ, as Elijah never experienced death. Both of these men are immediately recognizeable by Saints Peter, James and John. They know them, because the saints are available to us on earth. They can hear Jesus talking to them, and Jesus gives them an example of communicating with the saints. This is one of the major feasts of the Church year, and it is a poverty to neglect or ignore it. Glory to God in His saints!

We've had a lot of losses in our circle lately. Just in the past ten days we have had two memorials for men who left their wives as widows. One, who was 82, and one who was 33, leaving a young wife (one of our older children's friends) and a year old son. Lord have mercy on them. Please pray for these men and for their families. They do not have a lot of people who will pray for their dead.

Our sweet neighbors flagged us down the evening after their father's memorial, when we were coming home from our other errands, to bring us leftovers from the memorial and that is providing the meal for our church tonight. The folks from church will bring accompaniments to go with the smoked turkey, baked potatoes, and so on, and the meal I had planned for today will be put out on another Sunday this month, which gives me more relief. I had absolutely no cooking to do today, and got to truly rest, after a lovely brunch that Rich made for us. Our parish family is still taking their desire to lift as many burdens as they can from us quite seriously. We have people providing meals, cooking on Sundays for church, driving me to events I need to attend in other towns when I'm not up for the longer drives, offering us places to stay when we need a respite, giving our kids a fun place to go so they don't have to sit in the sorrow we are enduring. We cannot thank them enough. Please pray for us, but also for them, that they would be blessed and relieved as they have done for us.
