Fall

Fall has arrived.  Last Saturday it was in the upper 70's and Sunday it was in the 60's. I wore jeans and a sweater.  It may really be time to put away the Capri pants and flip flops.

The front garden still looks like summer.  But soon the leaves will turn and the flowers will need to be cut back.  Our summer really began in September and we had a lovely 3 week stretch.

The days in the Northwest become very short in the fall and winter.  It's dark still in the morning when I head to work.  When the time change occurs it will be dark when I head home from work.  In the winter it seems like the only time I see daylight is on the weekends.

This is not a complaint.  Well, it probably will be come February when we are tired of the cold and dark and rain.  But right now, instead of bounding out of bed to work in the garden on the weekend, I am still in my jammies, with a cup of coffee, my feet up on an ottoman with a lap quilt wrapped around me working on my blog.

Hello blog.  It seems like it's been awhile.  Perhaps now that it's dark and we will be spending more time indoors we will have a chance to catch up.  And spend time on projects. 

I can't wait.  See you soon!
