91 and Preparing for Winter

 
 Squirrel is missing part of his tail!  I didn't do that; the have a heart does not harm the critters.

 Lawns are still green and the air is calm yet leaves are changing color and falling.

 I'm knitting sweaters for the dolls; they get chilly too!

 Doc is splitting wood for the fireplace.

 Much of the edible garden is gone.

 Portulaca blooms love our sun and are prolific.

Here's the famous squirrel candle holder!

It's a high of 91 degrees, 7% humidity, and we are preparing for the coming winter.  It will be here soon!  I transplanted crowded daylilies from the edible garden in back to the front garden by the mailbox.  The bunnies think I did it just for them!! They are nibbling!  Doc is busy doing his part so we can have a roaring fire on the day of our first cold snap.  We love this climate and today are enjoying one of the final days of summer 2015.

Great Finds at Restore

 
Two weekends in a row, we raked out!!!  Our finds include denim and corduroy for me to recycle into doll clothing (those buttons off this denim shirt are perfect for this doll cardigan!), winter coat for me, winter hat for him, a wheelbarrow, candle wax to remake into winter candles, an office chair (NEW! with rollers!) and even a glass "squirrel" candle holder!  Thanks to Hawk, my trapping squirrels is over but Doc still likes to reward my efforts! Our backyard is so tranquil now.

Knitting At the Dentist

I love my hat! I love my teeth!!  Xrays showed healthy root canals (redone in 2012 from 27 years ago!), and everything else is perfect.

Rain and Rest

The little bit of rain dropped our temps from 81 to 64 degrees!  Doc is resting with elevated foot; I am madly sewing to replace 3 items purchased by a London buyer.  Etsy rocks!

Happy Labor Day

  
 
 
 The pink flowers are now volunteering in my front yard!

Not 21 Anymore!

 
He needs the crutches; I was being careless!
