We have had some hot days lately but autumn is in the air ~ cooler in the morning and
darker~so hard to get out of bed this morning when it was still pitch black outside. The plants in the garden are dwindling. Today I picked some more tomatoes for canning...maybe tomorrow.
I cut the pumpkins and placed them on some straw between the sunflowers and the strawberry plants.
Also harvested the gourds ~
the ornaments of the garden~ not a lot of them, but enough for a little bit of autumn decorating. I gave them a good showering off and left them on the chair to dry.
Still working on some dishcloths and experimenting with different stitches, colors, and edgings. For those of you who asked, I will let you know when I add some to the
shop.
Hope your day was good as well!

Those are the most beautiful fall pictures! I would love to someday be able to grow food and not just flowers.
ReplyDeleteI also love your dishclothes. Have you ever crocheted any? My daughter and I just bought a pattern. She can knit, but I can't. We can both crochet so we thought it would be fun to do together. Yours are lovely. Also, thank you for sharing which thread you use.
Lovely photos! Beautiful fall colors!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful sights and sounds of Autumn.. I just love the dish clothes, and the gourds are beautiful... I am so looking forward to a wonderful fall season...
