Just a post today about my morning walk. I have been enjoying them alone. My walking friend is off on another holiday. I must admit that I probably wouldn't have been good company this week. The colours at Asylum Lake are beginning to fade. It's still been quite beautiful, but the leaves are starting to fall and soon everything will be grey and dull. Poor husband had cleared the back garden of leaves last weekend but more have fallen so he had to do them again. You couldn't see the grass for all the leaves that had fallen! He just ends up putting them at the very back of the garden.
It's been rather quiet in the mornings. I'm not sure if it's because (once again) the sunrise is getting quite late or because it has been rather chilly. Either way, I quite like it. There is less interruption to just sitting in my usual spot and listening to the sounds of nature.
Fallen leaves along the trail
I spent the rest of the day trying to get the house picked up a little bit. It's driving me a little crazy. I really need to do some major sorting but for now I am sticking everything in the craft room. Probably not a good idea in the long run, but for now I just want a clear space where I am. I really haven't felt like crafting at all.
Today MIL slept the whole time we were there. I'm not sure she can hear us, but husband and I told her about some of the good times we remembered and the holidays he enjoyed as a child and special times. I'm hoping she can hear us and knows that we are there and love her.
The picture with all the fallen leaves is so pretty! I think it's fine to put the extra items in the crafts room for now, Sharon, as you deal with all the other things during this difficult time. Just take it one day at a time.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad they bring you joy
DeleteIt's definitely starting to get chilly here too. I'm looking forward to decorating for Christmas in a couple of weeks. It'll cheer me up no end
ReplyDeleteI hate the grey days of winter.
I'm not too fond of winter, but I've been trying to look for something that brings me joy
DeleteYou need solitude with so much going on in your life.

DeleteI used to dread driving along the grey country lanes through the dismal winter months until I saw David Hockneys outrageously colourful paintings, on an ipad, I think, of winter hedges. When I looked at my own hedges I saw that there were flashes of acid green orange, yellow etc... it's not as grey as I thought out there. (Downside was not paying enough attention to the road, but luckily most of the back lanes were relatively quiet!)
ReplyDeleteGlad MIL is able to fade gently, like the falling leaves.
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much.
