Fall is in the air! Here at our mountain cabin it's getting down to 32 or lower each night. And September is rapidly churning toward October! The hummingbirds have gone south already - smart birds. And the squirrels are busy as can be gathering pine nuts for the long, cold days ahead.

But the gift that follows those intense nights is the heat of the day. 75 degrees with cloudless, smokeless blue skies. It's the perfect recipe for a hike to a mountain lake, or to relax on the deck, visit with good friends, and hand stitch a binding to a favorite quilt. Heavenly!

Slow stitching in a serene setting. With friends and family. Just doesn't get much better!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning photos Barb. Thank you for saying that about hummingbirds; when we lived in Alberta, just above you, ours were gone in mid August. Now down here they are still here and making pigs of themselves at my feeder which is fine as that’s what it’s for. Glad the smoke is gone.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post from you to begin my day! The scenery is stunning - what a spot to sit with a yummy drink and memories.
