Ah yes, - tomorrow we will be half way through September!
It's been a lovely month
and the garden has responded nicely;;;
the asters blooming
and the last of the barn flowers reaching heavenward
oh dear, it is such a jungle!
The lawn just loves the mild autumn weather
and of course, I should be outside while September is so kind
(next week the forecast is for rain, at least until Friday)
But no, - I have been inside at the loom
and now the four shaft Le Clerc is sitting naked
in the loom room, - the towels that clothed her
unrolled from the beam, washed, pressed and looking
forward to being hemmed as they hang on the
hallway railing....lovely fall collours to brighten
the house.
I am spending my weaving time in my bedroom,
where the big Glimakra lives.
finishing off a lovely black runner with a little
white overshot and a fantastic fringe (which is
what attracted me to the draft in the first place).
I will post a picture when it is finished.
Sunday tomorrow, and I plan to get up and make scones
to feed any and all family who might come to visit!!!
And any that are left
I will enjoy next week,
with tea, - while the rain comes down!!
My bones and the weatherman
are quite adamant
that this is going to happen.
I missed seeing the Harvest Moon last night
despite waking up numerous times
during the night, but
the clouds had rolled in.
But here is Leon Redbone
and his wonderful Harvest Moon,
and that will bring me pleasure..
You too, I hope...

I am fascinated as always by your weaving projects. The autumn colors in the towels are so robust--something to carry one into the quieter shades of winter.
Gardening here during continued heat and drought is mostly marking time; watering in an attempt to encourage transplants and keep a few blooms on the shrub roses.
Wild asters don't grow here although we have goldenrod in abundance and I would have thought they had similar needs.
If I could only twitch my nose and blink to find myself sitting beside you and the big Glimakra, I could delight in watching as you work your magic in creating your beautiful works of art. Wow!
The red towels are so beautiful!
