Here we are - the last Sunday in September 2014 - how did that arrive so quickly? I was up bright and early at 6.30 this morning - yes, I know, it's Sunday, but I really prefer to get up early if I can, get on with a few jobs around the house before anyone else is about (quicker that way) then I can sit with a coffee, catch up on blogging, and do a bit of crafting - which, for me at the moment involves crochet, here is a sneak peek of my latest project:
I love the colour of the yarn, but it is a bit of a beast to work with as it often splits. But, the colour is so wonderful I will persevere!!
Out in the garden, hanging the washing, I couldn't help but stand and stare in wonder at the increasing autumn colour all around...
This year, I have tried to have a few plants around the front door, here is my autumn display:
Mums, I just adore these colours...
Cyclamen, so pretty...
Glimpse of my miniature Japanese Maple, just starting to change colour...
and pansies in my hanging basket, they almost look as if they have little faces...
Just as I was about to go back indoors I spotted this little fellow (look away now if you don't like spiders!!)
He wasn't there last night, so must have been very busy spinning such a perfect web.
Back inside again, I made a cuppa and had a bit of a think about what to make for dessert tonight. Then, I remembered I had bought this:
Pumpkin Pie it is then! I love Pumpkin Pie, so spicy and sweet. To off-set this treat I am going to make a hearty vegetable stew in the slow-cooker, potatoes, sweet potatoes, swede, carrots, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and lots of herbs and spices. So the whole house will be smelling quite delicious later on I hope!
And because my jobs will be out of the way early, hopefully I will have time to go out for walk later on.
Have a lovely Sunday, Helenxx
