Daylight Savings Ends Tonight
Fall is coming late this year, but Daylight Savings Time is ending this weekend anyway. For most of us in the USA, tonight we “Fall Back” and turn our clocks back an hour. You can get an extra hour of sleep, or you can start waking up an hour ‘earlier’ (but not really) as a result. During the pandemic I have gotten in the habit of staying up late to get my work done after everyone is asleep, but I am going to try to get up earlier with the time change.
We have yet to see our first measurable snowfall, and the trees have not dropped all their leaves yet, so Fall is running a couple weeks late here in Colorado this year. Or you might say….Summer is lasting a little longer. We broke a high temp record today with 80 degrees!
Today I went to the Dia de los Muertos festival at the Denver Botanical Gardens. We got really lucky with a parking spot, and then walked into the event building just as the contestants were arriving for the costume contest. Oh what fun! We sat in the front row and took photos. Some of the costumes were breathtaking. I’ll share them on my photo page later tonight.
Just in case you missed the Wednesday newsletter…
I am doing ONE MORE POLAR BEAR TRIP next year and the deadline to grab a guaranteed spot in my group is Thursday, November 18. Details on this page.
If you are a season pass holder for the Visions Art Museum lecture series, please be sure to put my presentation (next Saturday) on your calendar. I’ll be reviewing about 200 quilt images from online and in-person quilt festivals, from the last year. This will be a virtual presentation so you can join from anywhere in the world. If you have a season pass, you can watch the recorded lectures anytime.
…sharing your love of fabric,
Luana and Paul
