Oh My Goodness

Has it really been over 2 months since I last wrote a post?  Yup.

Fall is here!!  I just find myself doing the dance of joy every day.  Cool mornings and sunny, mild afternoons.  Doors open all day.  No need to keep them closed against the heat.  The same with the curtains.  All summer it's open them on the west side in the morning, then close for the afternoon.  Just the opposite of the east. Fall Fall Fall.  I love it.

This is glorious, but it's not at my house.

I saw this lovely plant at  a rest stop in Arkansas.

I want to get back to sewing and I have several projects to complete and I would like to make myself a couple of tops.  I'm going to the /San Francisco Opera in November so I'm thinking of making something new for that event. 

Well I'm ending this now.  Pretty frustrated because I cannot find the photos I was going to show. Off to make a birthday card for a very old friend.  Perhaps I'll be back sooner than later.

Truly Whatever

Hello.  Have I said how much I love Autumn?  I have?  It bears repeating. I Love Fall!

Under the maple tree at the medical building.

Oh, turning leaves are beautiful, yes?  But I also love the misty, rainy days that happen after a rainless spring and summer.

The view out the window while paying bills yesterday.  How easily distracted I am.

Earlier yesterday, the rain stopped and the little birds came out looking for goodies.  The new green grass is out and the old brown summer grass is fading away. I love my fall flag.

Now don't despair.  There is sewing.  It's only bags for the Co-op, but there are ten of them.

I had fallen behind my 3 each week so I made these up and now I should keep it up.  

Also now is the Christmas sewing.  I have 5 things to make as gifts and one I've cut out for me so should whip that one up right away. It's a fleece vest in a lime green from the same pattern as my

 my sister's vest. We'll see how it goes.

Please listen, it's beautiful.

Wandering to Fall

 I found this beautiful photo on the internet so long ago I don't even know where it is from except that it was taken in the Cotswalds, UK.

A poem of today and tomorrow.

 Summer morning cool and quiet no one up but me, sleepy eyes adjusting to dawn;

Sleepy eyes that awaken to a shadow of light creeping up the foothills sharing days;

Sharing days and mornings like this one with a silent creature , a spotted fawn;

A spotted fawn, a doe nearby to teach that it's okay to eat the roses that look that way;

That way are the roses but leave the daffodils and sage.  Ordinary tastes of  the garden;

Tastes of the garden for me are red like tomatoes and strawberries, cherry peppers small;

Small and round and spicy like an afternoon in the sun wandering its way to Fall.

Take a bit of a wander today.
