Saturday I went to my favorite orchard with the intention
of picking apples, but it was so crowded I bought some in the
farm shop and made for the pumpkin patch further down the road.
The three beautiful Clydesdales pulled a wagon
full of hay and visitors around 'None Such Farm.'
I loved the jingling of their harness and the thunder
of their hooves as they trotted along side the fields.
Three pumpkins found their way home with me.
(one orange, one white and the variegated one shown)
Soon I'll be carving their faces and roasting the seeds.
The grey wrap is my latest weaving project.
(Again, I'm found out in the park dressing trees!)
A young man and his dog couldn't help but stare
as I smiled and wished them a good day.
It's back to work tomorrow....but I've had a wonderful week
spent outdoors and surrounded by yarn.
