full steam ahead in october!

home grown

a fine dose of sheep herding pups

ready for the root cellar

some of the last of our garden's gifts

These full and busy days are what I crave. The autumn shift in air and light. The bounty from the gardens. A quilt show deadline. A parade of house guests (my brother and sister-in-law and a big project...an old college buddy...and a friend and vendor at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival). An application to a juried market (!). Newish volunteer work that is helping to weave me into the local community (via the hospital chaplaincy program).

The foliage here in Vermont is happening!

I'm living in an alternate universe right now.
On purpose.
For self preservation.
How about you, dear readers? Are you avoiding the news?
