2017 HARVEST MOON SHINES BRIGHT IN A CLEAR SKY

Daughter came in this morning with both g-daughter's. D-in-love was late getting to work because she had to change some bus routes because of an accident just up the road from us at 6:20 this morning. She was just coming out of her house when daughter came by so she picked up g-daughter RL.
Son-in-love's sister is still sick and his mom is with her so IR is here to go to market with us again today.
We got both girls settled in and I did chores and got ready for market. Sadly d-in-love called and said a young 18 year old man lost his life in the accident on Gilliam Road when he lost control of his pick up truck and rolled it without a seat belt on.
I dropped g-daughter RL off at school on the way to market and hubbie met me there. G-daughter IR was sleeping so we got all set up before she woke up to have her first bottle.
She is becoming a regular little market favorite with all the attention she gets and loves to be carried around market by some of the other vendors.
We always take her little rocking bed that she sleeps in at home and she sleeps peacefully out here.
I had a pretty good sales day for which I am very thankful. Market was really cool today in comparison to the hot days of last month and I was wishing I had worn long sleeves or brought a jacket today. This is now our normal market customer greeting committee !!
IR was very good today and her smile put smiles on many faces as shoppers passed by our table.
After market I went by the bank  and then made baking supply and grocery stops at Aldi and Walmart.
Hubbie went by the dump to drop our trash for the week and met me at Aldi. There was no going to sleep for g-daughter IR today so she got to shop with us.
All the different sites and the fact that the shopping cart was constantly moving kept her a very happy girl.
Hubbie went to Sam's Club while we went into Walmart to pick up a few things and we both met up with daughter here at home about 3:45.
We got unloaded and got things put away while daughter fed IR and then they went home and hubbie and I crashed to try to stay awake and watch the news.
Mother Nature appears to be going to take another windy rainy swipe at our area with the newly named tropical storm, Nate who is predicted to become a hurricane before heading directly toward us.


After chores I took a short walk . I have a new walking partner since Annie passed away but Pumpkin tends to want to lead instead of follow and turns my walks into obstacle courses when I try not to trip over or step on him.
There was a lemony colored sunset this evening to welcome the 2017 Harvest full moon.
Usually October's full moon is known as the Hunter's moon but this year it is known as the Harvest Moon because it is the closest full moon to the Autumn equinox.  Thankful for the clear sky tonight so that this beauty can be clearly seen as it lights  up the night.

Thankful for all the blessings of this day and for the love of my precious Savior Jesus Christ as I pray for the family and friends of the young man who lost his life in the accident this morning.
God Bless and Good Night
