Fall is here
This is one of my favorite months. I love the crisp days we get before the rains set in. Today was a no-excuses yardwork day, with beautiful sunshine after a morning that flirted with frost. I raked. I weeded. I clipped. I gathered in the last of the tomatoes for sauce. Mr. G borrowed the neighbors’ mower to puree my rakings, and then I mulched the plant beds. Fresh mulch is, apparently, for dogs to lie in.
I realize Lark has made infrequent appearances on the blog. Look what a leggy teenager she’s grown into:
I also photographed and mailed some new knits, but I’m going to wait until they’ve reached their recipients to show them here. Let’s just say I have a score to tally in the great annual knitting celebration that ends in -toberfest. And more.

I am so, so happy about the arrival of autumn! I love your photos in this post…I am not much of a dog person (I know, I know), but what a gorgeous dog she is!

your dogs reminds me of my friend’s rescue dog from greece. just as special.
oh and your jamieson’s is lovely.
if you are in for owls send me your address and i will send you a very special owl postcard that i am sure you will like. especially as a person who teaches.funny how we westerners regard the owl as something wise in the most positive way where as it is regarded scary in other parts of the world.
happy knitting.

Looking forward to the photos of your gifted knits!

Lark looks so happy and content with her face to the sun. Doesn’t it bring you joy when you see your pets feel that way? I love to watch my Rosie all stretched out in front of the fire.
