16 October

the path through the wood

aka -the hundred acre wood



blackberry bushes are colouring out and will be dropping leaves by end of October



Michaelmas daisies are blooming along the edge of the path



the bittersweet berries haven't quite opened yet

and there is some type of reddish-orange berry interspersed



 brilliant dappled sunlight filters through



and everywhere, everywhere, moths are flitting

    I love hearing that asters are also called Michelmas daisies. For some reason, that name makes them all the more beautiful to me! What a beautiful time of year this is!

    What cozy autumn views! I admire your knowledge of the plants in your area - I know only a handful.

    Really beautiful autumn photos - I particularly loved the sun shining through the leaves of the bramble. It looks like you are having lovely weather - here it has turned cold and grey - fires will be lit tonight!

    Lovely ... I don't know if I could pick a favourite, but if I was pressed, I think I'd have to choose the last one ... I love the play of light and shadow.

    Wishing you a simply beautiful Friday ... and weekend!

    The early signs of seasonal change quicken attention and inspire the soul. Lovely sightings photographed here! Thank you for that.

    Lovely autumn pictures. I have those dainty little purple daisies in my planter and they are blooming like crazy! I'm not a big moth fan. Haven't seen hardly any this year here.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
