After the excitement of last night, we had a very slow, simple, gentle day. I slept a lot during daylight, having slept little at night.

Tim gardened, a little. Moving around compost to make room for the leaves, soon to come.

I read, in bed. For myself, Edible Brooklyn, and a stack of The New Yorker, delivered by Tim's mom.
And to Anna. Do you know Shirley Hughes? The Alfie stories? Dogger? So good. I feel that even Anna is moving on from them a bit, but I'm not over them yet.

I baked some more bread, to bring across the street at dinnertime.
I moved some laundry around, not really accomplishing all that much.
Perfect.

Finally, I walked outside with my camera, on the way to pay last nights' sitter. Even with boots and socks on, I was still chilled right through by the time I made it over the creek and across the park.

I looked up and took these pictures. I looked down and took some more. Then, I dropped my lens cap through the sewer grate.

I needed to get outside, look around, get chilled. Make a mistake. Take some pictures.

I'm ready to move into the new week. I hope you are ready, too. For whatever awaits us all, around the next bend.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

Dang sewer grate. It was worth it though, for the moments of being out for that walk and capturing some fleeting visions of Autumn, don't you think?

Love Shirley Hughes! My English friend Caroline gave me a few for Jack and we both adore them. So sweet and simple and gentle.

I bought a little lens cap keeper thingy after I lost mine in a grassy field.

Sounds as if you had a busy weekend! I love Mondays...so quiet! I'm able to catch my breath and plan for the week.

oh, I had to start buying some extra lens caps to keep on hand because I have a horrible habit of stuffing a cap in my pocket and then it disappears. beautiful shots - love the hawk (?) flying overhead.
