Fabulous Fall Oak Leaves and Owl Picture
My brother took this picture one fall, he lives in British Columbia. I think it is just gorgeous!
Look at those perfectly colored oak leaves! And to capture an owl in the tree among those leaves is really something! Love it!
I did take alot of pictures at the Red Barn yesterday, so click on the link down below in the previous post to go to that site and you can view a slide show there. Tomorrow I'm hoping to go to some garage sales and they are having the first ever re-cycle event where people put out their re-cycleable household items to be picked up by anyone who comes by over the weekend and wants their old stuff!! You never know! Should be fun cruising around looking anyway! So have a good weekend, I'll be back!!

Ahh! Look what I found in blog land
I really can't wait to find a bit more time to be creative! If you look at the sidebar of my blog at my lists of places I visit, you've probably noticed that alot of them have a connection to altered art, digital art, collage art, free images, alot of beautiful blogs full of creativity. I have more and more to add, I just keep clicking on the links on the ones I'm visiting and always find more that I want to go back to when I have the time. My blog cruisin' time is usually when I am too pooped to do anything else, or just plain at loose ends!
Every now and then I come across one with a giveaway! Here's a lovely blog for free images and the blogger Carol Anne is having a great giveaway, which I entered by leaving a comment and now I'm putting it here on my blog, which gives me another entry for the giveaway! She has great links on her blog too for some great blogs and sites. Go to Carol Anne's Boutique for a more pictures of her great giveaway and you might want to save some of the lovely vintage images for your own use while you're there!
NEAT SIGNS!

Garage Sale Finds
2 Ukrainian embroidered pieces, the one on the right is a Rushnyk, the other I don't know what you'd call it. These were only 50 cents each and they're going right on ebay tomorrow!
I wish there had of been the sugar to this cute art deco creamer. The color is perfect for my kitchen. I'm using it for my milk in my coffee this morning. It's so cute! another 25 cents!
I think she charged me 50 cents for this gorgeous murano/chalet glass piece. I am not crazy about chalet glass with the long points, etc, but this I really like. It has the red and clear glass and a real nice design to it, which you can't really see from the picture.
Well, it is now 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning. I pulled on some clothes at 7:30 a.m. to run out to the garden to get some dill to go with the cucumbers that the husband is taking to the golf course for a lady friend golfer to pick up there. I then started taking pics for ebay listings and getting a few made up for tomorrow, I like to do that on Sunday mornings. I haven't even washed my face yet! I know you all do that too sometimes I'm sure! LOL!!
I now must hop in the shower then put on some spuds for the potato salad I want to make, also I have 2 apple pies to make.....husband peeled more apples for me (he knows I'll not get around to it). Gotta visit mom this afternoon, and Kiera will be over after her ringette. I'd better fly now!

Just came across this old picture
This would have been taken at 58 Sadler in St. Vital around 1953. That's Marilyn on the left, brother Jeff center, and me on the right. I don't look too happy!
Last Market Day For This Year
We are going to try and find out the name of this annual. It starts of green but the leaves gradually change to pinks and mauves and it's gorgeous! One of the plantings in the lovely flower beds on the grounds at Pine Ridge Hollow, across the way from where we have the farmers market.
Some lovely fall color in this bed.......they have changed over their setting for the outdoor weddings held here to this spot for now. Earlier they were in another area where there were midseason flowers in full bloom.
A wedding was going to happen in the afternoon.......note the rosepetals sprinkled along the aisle.
Don't you just love this planting of ornamental grass?

Last of the Golfing
It's all in the follow-through my dear! (So says Katherine Hepburn anyway!) A favorite of ours to say at times throughout the golf season. We had so much fun!
I look like a midget and I had a really lousy tee shot on this hole, a very long par 5 of course! Sh-t.......is another favorite saying throughout the season!
And therrrrrrrrre's Maggie!! She can hit a mile! ...and check her follow-through!
Here's a slideshow for you. We had a great evening, were treated to a lovely buffet dinner after the game and of course as usual, they drew for some great prizes. We'll hope the weather keeps up and maybe we can get together for a game next week, eh girls?

Apple Pie Sunday
Who knows when Kiera wrote this little note on a scrap of paper? Anyway, it showed up the other day and caught my husband's eye. It must have caught his eye again and since he's been out in the yard picking up the apples that are constantly falling or getting blown off the tree and piling them up in the kitchen, he must have decided that if he peels and chops them maybe they'll get into a piecrust!
So this morning, out came the frozen piecrust that tastes just like homemade......Tenderflake.... and here's the apple pie! Now all we need is Kiera! Will she be home in time for dinner from her camping over at Birds Hill Park?
She spent some time with Marilyn and I at the market yesterday......such a little salesperson she is, and giving us advise on display and pricing! It was fun, and we had a spot near the buskers so enjoyed the entertainment from them too. Forgot my camera though, and there were these three young boys singing and playing instruments plus some gals that were singing my kinda songs........ gotta run now!
