With the rain and the wind, it would seem autumn is truly here to stay…
Small (and big) birds gather at the feeders…along with Red Squirrels who perform all sorts of acrobatics while they hang on the peanut cages, munching away. Unfortunately, the squirrels very shy and run before we can take their photo even though we see them hanging there for up to half an hour... One day...
But inside the shop, flowers brighten things up…
Friends drop by for a chat…
Lots of ice cream waits for a warm weekend…
Splashes of colour all around…
The new coffee corner is working it’s magic…mmm, what an aroma.
My first granny squares ever…really good ways to use up some of the giant bag of yarn I thrifted back in July! These little things are addictive! I love being able to combine crazy colours but am only getting adventurous now after the first nineteen squares. Put-down, pick-up projects are useful with the rhythm of my days when painting or sewing would involve too much of everything – equipment, time, concentration. They stop me getting jittery and irritable because I’m not keeping busy. Even reading (which I love) doesn’t help because there’s nothing (tangible) to show for it at the end of the day. Many a book has been abandoned lately because the intricacies of plot or train of thought are taking too much time to keep track of…sigh…when did that happen? I still believe a wonderful book is as good as a holiday.
Time to put out the freshly baked scones and start the day. For the moment the sun is trying to peek out and the rain has stopped…
Have a wonderful weekend...
