This & That, Sunday at dusk

Heather, those boys look adorable in their pumpkin sweaters. The 6 month old looks much older than that...a big boy. I'm glad you moved back to Thunder Bay; imagine missing all that.

Our weather...well, we've hit, in the past two days, something resembling Indian Summer here. That means, it's warm enough to remove the dead plants and weeds in the garden and prepare everything for the winter ahead. Do I have the time and energy to partake of this gift from Mother Nature...no. The thought of what I must do to get the gardens ready for winter is purely daunting. No mold, Doris. But heavy frosts and everything is looking bedraggled.

Sara, grown kids have a way of surviving and if they don't, you'll hear from them asking to help them back home C.O.D. It's a generational shake of the head wondering where their brains are but somehow they manage to grow up and get on with life...most of them...not all.

Cooper Cooper is here again..his parents have gone on a Mediterranean cruise until early November. I've looked after Cooper since he was a pup when his parents travel each year; he's going to be seven next week and has calmed down considerably. He's an Aussie. The word 'come' hasn't been in his doggy vocabulary until just recently.

Have a speaking engagement next week for the Brampton Quilters Guild, south of here towards Toronto and the night before, my favorite author, Louise Penny, a Canadian mystery writer, is coming to our town for a reading. I'll be having supper with her at an Inn nearby. This will be exciting for me; likely one more meal out for her and the grind of doing the book circuit promoting her new book "The Brutal Telling", her fifth. She is an excellent writer and I'm looking forward to meeting her. In-between days, I'm teaching two days of colour theory here at home. If I keep my head on straight and not get muddled up, I'll have a good week. If I get muddled, I'll panic. I have to use a power-point programe with the guild and some new fangled machinery to show my pictures. Oh for the days of slide film and slide projectors and no pixel problems.
