The above blossom was at the community garden, it's new every week seems like

very inviting isn't it?

it's beginning to look a lot like Autumn.....

another bunny

and....another bunny, sniffing a flower
Startled these two, and they headed for safety, which squirrels will do even if they don't get along, but they accept each other temporarily

one of my roses

Love visiting this fellow, his person has 4 mini schnauzers

I like the clouds here, they put on a mighty show each day

finally finished this quilt not in time for last Saturday's post however

a little lime green is a good thing. See the piping along the binding?

I was going to enter it in Joy's table scraps challenge prompt "hot flash"

I wanted this fabric but I have so much

I saw this funny this week

(second from bottom on right)

I also saw this funny... on the blog can we have a new witch ours melted

conversation starter this week is

did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" I remember getting one main pair of shoes I wore daily. My clothes were usually kind of large because I'd "grow into them" same with shoes.

when I was 5 I got pink ballet shoes for dance lessons, gosh I loved those. I played for years in my dyed emerald green flat slippers I wore in my sister Kitty's wedding squeezing my feet in them.

at halloween I had these elastic high heel plastic shoes one year.... I felt glamorous

I remember one year I got penny loafers that I inserted an actual penny in

I remember the man who always measured my feet, and brought out uncomfortable shoes for that year.

Oh and we always had to have new Keds for PE ( I HATED PE) and mark our names on them. I remember clothing a bit big, and stiff and chosen FOR me through elementary and nearly junior high.

I chose the penny loafers, (finally)

sometimes I got a new pair of church shoes if my foot had grown. Usually black patent leather with a buckle.
