He is blowing away the vestiges of summer. The promise of another spring is about to be put to rest in the chilly earth, to sleep away the winter's bluster and bite.
The little creatures are slowing down, preparing to rest until the green time returns.
The golden afternoon sun turns the fall colors into blazing beauty. This Cateye Pouch in fall hues is about to be sent off as a surprise gift.
Fabrics are all thrifted or from my scrap collection.
Soup is a simple comfort for September suppers.
