Yesterday I had an appointment during my lunch hour. As I was driving back home I saw a tree with that fall blaze orange at the top. The leaves are starting to change! I'd have taken a photo, but I was driving and did not feel like pulling over and walking back to where I saw the tree.
Earlier in the week I was walking around the back yard and acorns were dropping from the oak trees. It feels too early for this.
Then one day, in the early a.m., it felt like a fall morning. Except for the humidity.
August, when mother natures really shows she's off her meds. Or something.
It's been a quiet week, for the most part (keeping the trend going!) I have been mildly productive, however.
Monday I finished my first summer sock.
Tuesday I finished the last White Christmas 2022 ornament. No photo of it. That one is being saved for my next flosstube.
Speaking of flosstube, my newest video is here. If you want to see the video, with full show notes, the blog post is here. I can't believe I haven't mentioned something I did to the blog yet. On the right side of the blog I have figured out how to embed the videos of my most recent flosstube and garden chat videos. You can see a tiny version of the videos if you don't want to go all the way over to Youtube. Ha! I felt so clever when I figured it out. What I can't figure out is how to get the garden chat video to be the same size as the flosstube video.
I spotted something today and I thought it was pretty neat.
This whole summer we've been trying to befriend the crows. I toss a little bit of corn in a bowl in the back yard almost every morning.
I call it paying the toll before I go out in to the back 20 each morning to swap out SD cards. I don't know how much the crows actually get before the squirrels find the corn, or the chickens realize there's food somewhere.
Today I was out on the trail, looking down to make sure I don't trip, and I spotted something that had no business being there.
A dime! How stinking cool!
I kinda recall earlier in the summer my hubby coming back into the house one morning with something he found near by the bowl, but we weren't sure if it was a gift from the crows or if it was just a coincidence. The dime couldn't have fallen out of my pocket yesterday because I had no pants pockets and the jacket I wore had nothing but the SD card in it because I had just washed the jacket.
It was a beautiful morning, but for the humidity. I was trying to capture the colors in the sky. No dice.
It must have been open since last night, at least. It looks like the chickens got in there and snacked on my brassicas. Those brats!
I did harvest some tomatoes and cucumbers. Oh and a few peppers. We've been enjoying salads with fresh toppings.
Before I settled in for the evening I *finally* picked out colors for my "Daily Reminder" cross stitch by Brenda Gervais.
The colors are certainly bright!
