92 degrees one day, 65 the next! Cool and rainy today and yesterday! Was picking more peas in the rain. Usually the snow peas are well on the way to being all dried up by this time of year, but, the bouts of cool and damp days are keeping them going strong.

We must get to Adam's garden center soon and get supports for the tomatoes. It's been on the to-do list for awhile, but we avoid going there (evenly tho we like the place alot) as it's always so crowded! But, there's no other garden center nearby.

I've gone through 2 Gazette submission patterns so far, one to go, then the real work - putting together the issue! The yarn I ordered from Plymouth Yarns came in yesterday, so I've started the solid color kimono jacket sample. I have other designs plotted out using this shape and construction method - just need more hours in each day!

This morning hubby saw the wild turkeys coming through the lawns again. Early morning (before *I* get up!) seems to be the time the animals wander around, then again at dinnertime. Last time we saw the turkeys there were just 2 adult females (same size) and about 6 or 8 young, but he saw 4 females and a whole slew of young, well on their way to adulthood by now.

So, I dug out the photo of them from a couple years back, for your viewing pleasure!






While I was digging through the piles of photos, I came upon this one, which I've always loved. If you stood on the lawn where the turkeys were and looked to the rear of the property, you get a great view of the pond and rear lawn. There's a sharp bend in the road, and when you come around the bend, you get that view. As the trees are turning, it's about the middle of October, and the watermeal on the pond is *finally* dying back for the year, which you can see scattered along the rear of the pond.
