I DID IT---

got this shawl finished and off the needles--
will block it tomorrow--
and let me tell you--
it was a simple pattern--
so simple in fact--
that------
I kept messing it up--
I think at the half way point on--
I knitted--then unknitted--
knitted--unknitted--again and again!!!!
and I want to know 'Why'--was I so determined to get this one done!!!!???????

Did a walk today with the big boy camera--
and here is some of the results--

one house down the street has like a English cottage garden in the front lawn--
( and no lawn!!!)

I actually got to meet the lady who lives here--
her name is Debbie--and she told me these red roses came from her Mother's garden--
went she passed away--
we had a nice chat--
and she said she is married to a guy from England!!! how cool!!!
here is some more from her garden today--

more roses--like this color too--

this was the only one left blooming--but it was sooo large--
and then I spotted this--

I believe this morning glory is a wild kind--she said they came up on their own--
but is this not just beautiful?????
and then later on the way home I found this one along another fence--

and this morning in my own garden --I found this one--

Oh happy day---

Miss Gracie and Di say---Happy Fall, you allllllll!!!!!
