June is gone, so is July, August and September.

Well, Autumn is here and a summer of swimming and enjoying a beautiful season of warm days and

sunshine has me ready for the lovely colors and cold, wet weather that are here in October.

Almost November and I am excited to take the train for an autumn color tour of Washington and Oregon. Visiting my niece, Jessica and her fiancé, Kenyon this week. I will take along lots of holiday projects as I am needle felting a bunch of ornaments for gifts this Christmas.

Enjoying the fires by Lake Washington during these cold days and baking up spanakopita and homemade breads. Also putting my garden to bed and seeing lots of hungry yard birds. Huzzah! Life is good.

 

Ray is the best dog owner in the world and Pika is a very lucky girl!

 

 

I appear to be on vacation!

See you in September, thanks for following

and have a great summer!

Thanks,

Elsa
