Summer has passed with the last bottle of elderflower
champagne drunk and condensation appearing on the inside of the single pane
sash windows the morning chill of autumn is upon us, my favourite time of year.
The heather is a deeper purple on the hillside, the bracken turned bronze and
the swedes are sweet and full. Supermarket shopping is less frequent and
spending reduced with potatoes to lift and plenty of green kale. Having chased
the last persistent bunny from the property I now discover I have another
visitor. The mink are back which may explain why the rabbit no longer calls.
I’ve set two traps in the hopes of catching a fur hat for the winter. In the
studio lighting of the fire has become the morning routine and it has been a
productive time with long term stitching projects completed and painting in
full swing. There has also been time for the frivolous thinking and the using
up of scrap tweed on the kitchen chair. Remember just like the tweed coat
hangers you saw it here first.
Summer is passing here also. Lots of rain put a damper on the county fair this year. That is certainly an interesting use of tweed, I like it. It's cozy looking! Hope you catch the mink, it will surely make a fine winter hat. I enjoyed your post.
