Animal print outfit and rain, rain, beautiful rain

On Thursday and Friday mornings I have a yoga class that I love. My teachers are very challenging. Today was a challenge as we worked on opening our hip area. The instructor said that this will help as we grow older to keep us from getting all stooped over. I definitely don't want to be stooped over a walker and shuffling along. My Mother walks so slowly and with difficulty. I want to do everything I can to make myself stronger as I age. When you are younger, you take physical health for granted and old age is so far in the future that it is not thought about.


Today's outfit is a simple one, but it looks nice enough for running a few errands.  My bit of good news for today is that the coat that I purchased at the Salvation Army came back from the cleaners in perfect shape. The bad news is that it cost almost as much to have it cleaned as it did to purchase it. It is still a fairly inexpensive coat that is beautiful.

I went to an estate sale today and purchased 3 old patterns. 2 were for poncho/capes and one for aprons. I also got a couple of books on sewing. I hope to do a bit of sewing this winter and the patterns looked to be easy ones. I also got a whole bag of ties for $2. I now have to figure out some things to do with them. I have some ideas, so sometime in the future you may see the results.

The really great news is that we finally got a little bit of rain. It was so nice to see rain again as it has been so very dry here. I know Texas and Oklahoma also need rain badly.  It's been a long, hot, dry summer. I am certainly looking forward to fall this year.  Ah! I just heard some thunder. Hopefully that means more rain and not a bad storm. I hope you all have a great weekend.
