October Blossoms

I do have falling leaves on the grass, but no sign of Jack Frost! Average date for our first frost is October 5, but it looks like it will be later this year. There really are leaves, but they are small ones from my Linden tree. You are able to click on the picture and see things better.
The allysum smells so sweet when I come home late in the afternoons, as well as the second blooms on the phlox.
Water keeps these babies happy and they look better now than they did when it was 95-100 each day.
I ♥ my lavender pot of flowers!
My mom had some extras and gave me several packs of this color.
With school, watering the dry flowers and yard, trying to mow, going to see my dear momma, and to Denver to see my sweethearts, I don't have much time left to visit and write. Notice I didn't mention anything about cleaning (which is not a priority) or bell practice and reading a bit to relax before bed. Living life just keeps me busy. Relaxing today with Sarah and Alex, both here for the first time since July 25. The dough is rising for cinnamon rolls so must check on it and make some lunch! Take care and visit when you can!

Colorado Quilts for 9/11

This ten piece quilt is hanging in our state capitol building in Denver. The story is in the Denver Post and moved me to tears this morning.
Please take time to read about it and the quilters. You may click on the picture or here for the article.

Play Time

This past weekend I was able to stay in Denver and play at Sarah and Alex's. They were having another overnight guest that I didn't have to displace by sleeping in her bed as she has a portable crib. We were too busy to take pictures, though.
On Saturday we went to Aspen Grove for the Paris Street Market. Read more by clicking on the link.
Lots of pretty things, but my house is full and I need to make more trips to GW and not bring any thing home. Sarah did find a sweet china creamer, but I forgot to take a picture of it.
The flowers in front of the shops did catch my eye, though, and since they don't move as fast as Miss Cupcake, I did take a picture of the yellow flowers and the hibiscus.
There's an old potentilla bush that is going to be replaced by some of these next summer. Cooler weather is here this week so I might get it dug up. I need another 3 day weekend to just spend time at home in my yard.
