Fall at Cedar Ridge

Fall is my favorite time of the year.

What was planned as a 8 day vacation in Michigan

turned into 4 days. DH back cannot take long trips

anymore.  One day there, 2 days to recoup enough.

One uncomfortable day back home. 

New restrictions.

Stay in Indiana. Find fishing lakes here.

Now we know our limitations.

Indiana is a great place and we have everything

we need here to enjoy life.

Expensive lesson.

I am still on vacation I will not cook or do anything

Until Monday. After all I haven't had a vacation

  for 4 years. 

Outside here at the RIdge

 The tree behind the Catalpa tree is ablaze again 

this year. I love the movement of the black branches

against the bright fall colors.

 Last look at the pond.

It doesn't look like this right now.

We are going to make it a circle of rocks

with water bubbling out of the top of the ricks.

We cannot keep the algae out of it and it is a mess.

SO a bubbler with boulders in the plan for next summer.

Love the view to the west from the deck.

It never fails to sooth me.

Something about living in the country is good

for the soul.

Quiet.

Just us and the birds and the squirrels.

The raccoons, deer, possoms, snakes, golphers

and the coyoties.

Tuesday's mornings golden glow.

Sunlight through the trees

The glow of Fall.

 Fall grasses highlighted  by the sun.

The sumac glows red against the woods.

The old wind mill spins in the gentle breeze.

Fall is a special time of the year.

Have a great day.

The back way to town.

                  The last two days I have been busy.
                   Wednesday I mixed 9 batches of glaze
                   2 of them doubles. Each batch is 2.5 gallons.
                   Than on Thursday I  double dipped
                   52 pots in the glazes for a green finish the
                   only thing left is to fire them and put in
                   the dried fall arrangements for the brunch
                   in October. Today I slept late than took a
                   nap. Tonight is the opening of my friends
                   show Harmony in Nature. Last night in
                   the middle of the night I placed an order
                   with Artfabrik for lots of thread so I can
                   finish my newest art quilt. Back to fabric.
                   A much softer friendly craft.

                       On the way to Rensselaer I took the back way.
                       Could not resist taking photos of the changing fields.
                       I just love the country life. Life is good
