In a yellow wood

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~





Our Autumn colours in New England are not as vibrant as they normally are.

The people who figure that stuff out tell us it is because of all the rain we had during the summer.

I suppose we reap what we sow and all that. 

They tell us we won't have as many reds this year and from what I have seen thus far

they are correct...not so much red but lots of beautiful yellow.

It does make what red we are seeing really stand out.

    Aren't those the prettiest pictures? I love them both. We get a lot of golds here too, but then it seems to change to the oranges. We get some reds, but not a lot. A little child's hand and Autumn leaves, what a wonderful photo.

    The yellow is just as beautiful, and your little circle of leaves should somehow be saved!

    I think all the colors of the leaves are pretty.
    We have had a very colorful Fall here in western MD.

    We had a very rainy June and July here in NY yet because our evenings haven't been cool enough to really pop the red color, we are also seeing mostly yellows and oranges. My pear tree is JUST starting to get some red leaves and our maples are JUST now turning yellow/orange. We stil lhaven't had a real frost here alhtough that might change overnight!!

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
