Friday, October 24, 2008Progress! Part of my morning's work. Randy likes these for lunch or snacks so I don't try to make them Fair shape, I just cube and be done with it. But pears are kind of boring looking this way so I tossed in a maraschino cherry to liven them up some. Got some laundry done, too, but it's not all that photogenic!  posted @ 12:58 PM PST [link] My next job...  Got three lugs of apples picked off the Rome Beauty. Managed to give half this lug to a friend, but the tree is still loaded with fruit. And the last of the pears are ready to can as well. And the laundry hamper is full again, and the looms shop is jammed up with orders, and I have to finish the doll for the retreat, and I got an email reminding me that the gallery needs paintings for the November show, Randy's gone to town to get the stuff for the woodshed since our winter's heating fuel is still sitting in a big pile out in the open...  But! It's a beautiful time of year. The colors are gorgeous again! What a fantastic job Mother Nature does for us! I am always awe struck. Each fall seems more magnificent than memory has the last one. Here in the yard it's a golden world accented with the red of the roses and the woodbine. I hope you get a chance to go out and admire the world where you are.  posted @ 09:52 AM PST [link] Monday, October 20, 2008Color I just love autnmn!  posted @ 02:55 PM PST [link] Sunday, October 19, 2008OCTOBER I don't know this guys name but I thought him quite attractive. He likes my little mums very well. I got these flowers many years ago from a neighbor but they bloom faithfully every year to brighten up this Indian Summer we're having. The predicted rain has faded away. Well, that's fine as we don't have the wood shed up yet. The weather is warm day times and coolish at night, but we haven't had to build a fire for several days now. The bear visited the old pear a few days ago, broke a couple branches out of it but did no major damage. However, the dogs have been pretty excitable ever since. And it's been a major squirrel year! The white oaks have a bumper crop this fall and the grey squirrel population is up as well. I counted 7 of them in view at once yesterday! It's been rather noisy as well, with the all barking and chattering and quarreling. Then the Jays have to have their word, too! There goes "The Serenity Of The Trinity Alps"! The cats ignore them all!
