Autumn Greetings...

October seems to be flying by…perhaps the unseasonably warm temps we had were deceiving…
But the frosty temps the past few days have finally made me realize that October is nearly gone.
I’ve been in “production mode”…kitting up the final part of Brocade…the 2011 annual rug project…

I’m happy to say that the kits were finally mailed out today…Yeah!!! I have lots of ideas for the 2012 rug project…but nothing final yet…stay tuned!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend ~L

It’s been a beautiful Autumn day with temps well above normal...
and dry...I’ve been moving the sprinkler from garden to garden all day...

The ash tree near the back patio is suddenly a blaze and I could spend hours sitting beneath it...but not today...

With the Autumn Valley hook-in behind me there is much to catch up on...our neighbors gifted us with Fireside apples from their tree...so the apple sauce is simmering on the stove...cinnamon and clove scents the whole house...the canning jars are ready...what a treat this will be on a cold winters day!

I’m working on getting the final part of “Brocade”...the 2011 Rug Project together...I’m hoping to have the kits ready to mail by weeks end. I’ve got lots of ideas for the 2012 rug...nothing final...except maybe the border?!?!

I’ll leave you today with a couple pics of some wonderful sunflowers a friend gave me last week...I love how they look above the potting bench in the back of the house...thanks again Chris Ann!!!

Wishing you all a Good Autumn Eve...~L
