I'm listening to 'Golden Autumn 2' solo piano recordings, 2001
by Fariborz Lachini
Lovely!
This is a picture I took of the aspens turning gold with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop.
This was taken from the 2007 season.
My thoughts turn to changing seasons, the colors of fall, and autumn activities.

Here is a blog from one of my favorite bloggers -
turkeyfeathers
You can get to her blog from the addy to the right of my blog.
Here is one with beautiful pumpkins:
OH MY GOSH IS THE INTERNET SLOW TODAY!!!
I'm trying something new -
I write what I want to say in a Word doc,
and then I copy and paste to the blog. It speeds things up a little.
so slow...it's slower than toothpaste on a frigid morning
outside in the shack...
On to more important things….

Back to school fashions!!

Of course, I have to include Liana's fantastic paper doll costumes:

Isn't Liana just fabulous?

Okay, I'm giving up on doing a pretty blog. It takes too long to try and change the font, or the size or the color!
This is what I feel like when the internet/blog/whatever is so slow:

I'm thinking fall dances....proms....homecomings....
Isn't imagination a wonderful thing!
Here is an embroidery pattern to get started on.
You could put this on the corner of place mats,

That's the only credit I have for this pattern. Is it perhaps from turkeyfeathers?
If you know, let me know so I can give proper credit.
Well, I have several things to get caught up on; I have been down almost a week with a severe flare-up of fibromyalgia.

Another great listen!
