Autumn

Fall has arrived and not just by the calendar.  The mornings are chilly, the leaves are starting to change colour and twist and turn in the slightest of breeze , the birds are twittering as they prepare to leave  for places  south, the rains begin to splash on the roofs and windows ,and spilling out of the eaves.  It is the season of  pumpkins and squashes, bonfires and the smell of fruit falling from the trees.

The colours of autumn.

But I am tired like the season and need to rest more.
It doesn't take a lot to tire me out . Today we went out for a while, just up to Metrotown, walked a bit, had some icecream and left.
Oh no I forgot that I had to buy a new phone. My old phone had just had it, I have owned it for at least a decade and it is hopelessly out of  style as well as being useless as of yesterday. It would not work which is what made me decide it was Time. We went to Telus and chose the one I  wanted. I rarely use a cell phone but still need to have one in case I have to call Ray when I am out.  What a time that was . I have to take a lesson next week on how to use it ,can you believe this?   And this one is the cheapest I could buy. I would hate to have an IPhone, that would really be an issue. I would need a whole semester to get that figured out LOL.
So we came home and on the way stopped in Safeway to pick up the vitamins.
Then I went to bed after I had talked to Rick on the phone. He seemed to be happy. And that makes me happy.

Indian Star looks very easy with the four patch in the centre and the triangles and squares make up the rest.

Nice greens in this one. I love the swirly fabric in the background. It is my favourite in all its colours.

 What a heartwarming picture. The dog and the man after a hard day of rescue.

The soldier with the puppies. I wonder what happens to those little dogs in the war zone. Are they abandoned?  Or is mom somewhere around watching.

 A lovely yellow string quilt. Does it give you ideas for your own string quilt?

Another of my hobbies , knitting socks. I made this pair a long time ago. Then I found self striping yarns.

And machine embroidery, in this case a fall flower, the Sunflower.

Tonight is over.

Have a great evening folks.

Good night.
