What I've been doing

There's a taste of fall in the air, do you feel it too? Not that it's cold out...but the leaves are giving a hint of change, the days are a bit shorter, the goldenrod is blooming, and the monarchs are out in full force. Aah! I knew it would begin one of these days!

I've been working on my stitchery from way back here. Don't laugh at how long it's taken me, okay? Just don't. But the point is it's almost DONE! I promised myself I wouldn't show it anymore until it's completed, but I can't help myself. See? I'm sewing the binding on. And you didn't believe me.

I'm in love with that red floral fabric. It's from Hobby Lobby, one of their exclusive prints. The quality seems excellent.

Ok, so that's it til it's really done. Just wanted to show that I am in fact making some progress.

Random thought: One of the things that's been great about this summer is all the birds coming to our feeders. Dave planted a bunch of hummingbird-friendly plants and we see them everyday now. We also get a lot of goldfinches, like this cutie-pie...

And these sparrows having a nosh...

So back to autumn approaching. What are you looking forward to? For me, it's cool weather, leaves turning, apple and pumpkin picking, cozy sweaters and low humidity. Oh, and candles! I've already gotten a head start on that...

The one on the left is my all-time favorite scent. It smells exactly like Yankee Candle's Home Sweet HOme. So whichever one is on sale, I buy. The one on the right is Glade's Country Spice. The candle snob in me was surprised at how yummy it smells.
