We have yet to experience a frost - most unusual...everything is still intensely green and lush...
We have waited all summer for morning glory blooms...finally after seeing nothing but tall vines, they have decided to start their display - all at the top!
But that’s ok...the blossoms remind me of a summer’s blue sky with puffy white clouds...
Still sparks of color in the front garden...
...which is undergoing a workover - reducing the size, moving the stone border in closer and reseeding the exposed area to return it to lawn. Mr. Outback and I are both in our mid-70’s and it is time to lighten the workload and enjoy more deck time...tidying up will hopefully be easier...
The vegetable raised beds are getting cleared out and the house is fragrant with our own tomatoes, garlic and basil in pans roasting in the oven...
Apples are picked, frozen for winter pies and many buckets shared with our neighbors as well as visiting deer.
All this means precious little time in the sewing room but September’s Cheddarback (BOM from Sentimental Stitches) blocks are done.
I am so ready for a bit of “down time” - we are off for a little adventure to chase the Fall colors...
Back later...

Isn't fall a wonderful and satisfying time.
ReplyDeleteSo many goodies. I can see that there is a lot of work involved and can understand your wanting to cut back a bit. You'll be enjoying those goodies for quite a while though. As always, your blocks are beautiful. I dream of having a whole quilt of tree of life blocks. Too bad I am not fond of doing hst though. Maybe someday. Enjoy your Fall trip.
ReplyDeleteI want to spend a fall day at your house--looks and sounds so inviting. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure. We have chased color in New England 3 times now. Sometimes it was beautiful, but once it was very disappointing--hardly any color yet. When you book in advance you just don't know what the season will be like that year. Hope you find brilliant hues!
ReplyDeleteYour yard looks so nice and it's a great idea to increase the grassy areas. Love your Cheddarback blocks especially the pine tree :)
