Two Weeks Scratched - All Caught Up

Scratched my way to the end of September.

A visit to the Doctor and a day of French Knots.

Four hours drive to Pictou Lodge

where seagulls and cormorants covered sandy beaches and shoreline rocks

despite the rain and wind.

The wind and the rain grew in strength

sending all birds inland.

Finally the sun came out as we played with needle weaving

and stitched marks.

I drove home to my little house in the trees.

Monday we drove up the valley for an eye check-up

and a field of vision test.

October arrived

the leafy month.

Beneath a cool October sun

we dug and weeded the vegetable patch

and finally got out garlic planted and bedded down with straw.

Actually the oak trees haven`t started turning yet.

For Sunday I started off with black thread

because of drawing class

and ended up with a bit of a mess!
