The Summer is gone....

The days have flown by since we first arrived, summer into fall into winter into spring into summer and now the autumn again. And through it all I have felt immersed in a whirlwind of activity with deadlines around every corner. But the light shines at the end of the tunnel for us now and we plan on being finished with the garage by the end of the week and then there is little do save the usual year end things. Raking leaves, raking leaves, and then there is raking leaves. The garden patch which we had started in the summer was left to languish and the weeds started in again and I hope to finish turning that over and pull them out yet before the snow flies but we shall see. The fall has been beautiful, clear blue skies, little rain, warm days and with the inevitable cold that lies ahead, I am reluctant to spend these precious hours inside at some sewing that I have waiting, so outside I go, just one more day.

Holly and Sean were here for two weeks that seemed far too short, and now they are gone once again. We had such a good time and in my next post I will post some pictures and talk more about our visit. Just to let them know, we miss their faces and the pitty pat of their little feet.

My marigolds froze last night, the miniature roses still look lovely (they like the coolness I suppose) and the leaves are almost off the trees and it is getting cold enough outside at night that the dogs are quick to do their business and come back in to the warmth of the wood stove. But now I will leave you. My bread must be popped in the oven and the pot of soup stirred so that the hungry pit upstairs can be fed some supper. Til next time my loves....
