Getting Ready for Autumn

Although autumn still seems quite a way off in our area, I've decided it's time for a change, indoors at least. Here is the silver water pitcher and tray I got at the garage sale last week with a few autumn flowers (1/2 price at Hobby Lobby- yay!). The tray isn't actually dusty the way it looks in the picture. I don't know why it looks like that.























Here's a picture of the needlepointed cross Chloe is working on~

* I would've waited until it was finished, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to borrow a camera again...

Autumn arrived here 3 days ago. The mornings have been in the 30s and 40s.

I really like the needle point cross Chloe is working on.
Fr. Brian keeps hinting at the women of the church making needle point kneelers like we found in England. Maybe we should start the monthly hand work meeting you suggested and make those.

And I like the silver water pitcher and tray.

Crazy for the Computer Chloe is currently building her own 'website' using Front Page. So far, everything she has built has been done on her own including design, building the tables and cells, personalizing their properties, inserting hyperlinks, etc. She builds her own graphics using Paint Shop Pro. Also, all content has been written by her with no editing or suggestions from Mom. Check it out here ! Highlights from Today's Nature Walk: 1. Chloe spotted what she thinks is a Dowitcher (bird with long beak) 2. Ben splatted in the river about six times, so returned home soaked but happy 3. Only other animals sighted: brown grasshopper, small water snail, water striders, crows 4. Noticed developing buds on tips of branches

We finally got our winter snow! We had perfect winter weather today. It was on the warm side for snow (somewhere between 34 & 36 degrees) and the beautiful flakes were numerous. By the way, Chloe knitted the scarf she is wearing. *The bald eagle returned today. This is quite a record considering we usually only see him about twice a month. He still seems to be scavenging on Matthew Island. We're considering canoeing out and putting fish (or something) on the bank everyday to ensure that we see him on the Backyard Bird Count (Feb 17-20) www.birdsource.com/
