Ordinary Days

A long overdue catch up...

Autumn has arrived, the days are still warm and sunny but the nights and early mornings are getting cool.  I seem to find plenty to keep my busy, and with less daylight hours I am slipping into hibernation mode.  Here's a few catch up photos from the last couple of weeks...

Marnie and I had a day trip to Stanley recently.  It was so nice to get to walk on 'my' beach again... 

au revoir mon ami jusqu’à la prochaine visite

In the Garden

There is still some colour...

I've picked all the apples off my tree, cooked most for the freezer, but kept some for eating fresh...

Marnie and Denver came over yesterday and helped with some garden work.  We mowed, weeded and cut back some of the larger trees...

In the Craft Basket

My friend Vicki gave me two big balls of Caron Cake that she did not want, so I'm knitting some scarves for charity in a broken rib pattern...

Finally finished knitting all 28 squares for this charity blanket and am now sewing them together...

Almost finished this blanket, just a few more rounds...

Still reading the first of the Mitford series books, but almost finished...

and onto the second Jerry Bridges book

In the Kitchen

Made Irish soda bread...

and enjoyed it warm from the oven with butter and delicious Tasmanian honey

And baked a pineapple boiled fruit cake...

This is my usual breakfast each morning: the blackberries continue to produce, although the few strawberries I had growing are now finished...

cooked quinoa and buckwheat, stewed apples, banana, blackberries/strawberries, chia seeds, ground linseed, and a dollop of yoghurt.  Yum!!

At the River

Always different...

early one misty morning

on a clear day

fog :)

this morning

 I think that'll do you!  And remember...
