beech trees in my backyard



new yarn
my bun
I don't post enough pictures of my bunny; she's the sweetest little friend and can lift your spirits when you're feeling down. Right now there's a kitty sleeping on top of my desk and a bunny sleeping under my chair. : )

Thursdays are one of my busiest days. My son volunteers at the New England Aquarium, so I drive him into Boston. Then I run errands all over. Today, I had to drop my vacuum cleaner off to be repaired. I hope it doesn't take too long to be fixed; I miss it already.

The beech tree out back is gold and gorgeous. My yard is filling up with all kinds of bright falling leaves: maple, beech, oak, birch. It's beautiful; it truly is. In a couple of weeks it will be time to rake them up, and Luke will have a happy afternoon "jumping in" the piles.

The new yarn I bought at the fair is Artisan Yarns' "Cree-Ah's Breath" from Hampden Hills Alpacas. The color is "Sonoran Desert". It's a beautiful colorway full of gold, orange, gray and blue. (It has a much golder look than in the photo above, and the blue isn't as vibrant and has more gray-green in it). I'm thinking of making a very simple shawl with it.♥

  1. Beautiful yarn and scenery. Your rabbit looks large - is she?

    1. Thank you! : )

      She's an English lop, which is one of the large breeds--9-11 lbs.

    1. Edna is too rambunctious for the bunny at this point, but Elvis and the cats and bunny all get along magnificently. The yarn is 100% baby alpaca and absolutely luscious!

  3. Sometimes it's kind of fun to have a set "busy" day -- get it all done at once. I hear you on the vacuum cleaner. We recently went a week and a half without the dryer. I was so happy to be folding fluffy warm clothes again. Beautiful yarn. Have you started your shawl yet?
