We're much further along with Autumn colours here in Alberta. Lovely time of year!

We went in search of fall this weekend....the feeling in the air is here but the colors have not changed. But then again in the desert....it is very subtle. So that's why we headed to the mountains.
I just can't say it enough...you live where gorgeous meets wow.

I think it will be unfair you to get still more of anything :-)

Yes, a little more summer, please. Iowa has been unseasonably cold for half of September which, ordinarily, is the most beautiful month of the year in Iowa.

More summer here too please! I'm ready for cooler temps but not so much for window scraping and shoveling.... Nice bounty of squash!

Yes more please these are lovely shots. Very serene. Looks like we are getting a bit more summer here Europe. It was sunny in Milan, is sunny now in London and will be sunny in Paris were I will be going this weekend. Xxxx

Hello Mermaid ~ Love your love of natural dyes and all the artful arrangements you play with. Makes me smile. And I'm impressed with what you can grow in BC.

We must do tall fences here in Montana as well...pesky deer and raccoons. Nothing keeps out the raccoons...just pick before they get at it!

Check out my latest post at Miracle Sisters of my grape harvest. The juice was rather sour but we managed to harvest before the raccoon family moved in this year.

Those grapes stain like nothing else. Unfortunately the color turns to dirty grey-not the most attractive dye...although for a wool scarf it may be nice. What do you think?
