Halloween Witch on Barn
I wonder when these people will hang up their Halloween witch? I have to drive by once the leaves start to turn and check. It's pretty wonderful, isn't it? I took this photo last year.

1934 DeSoto Airflow Automobile
Cars are not my thing. I only ask that they start when I turn the key and get me where I'm going. I do however like this 1934 DeSoto for some reason. I like the shape and everything about it. Found on Pixdaus. It would look very cool parked in front of my cottage.

I would dearly love a big bowl of this Butternut Squash + White Bean Stew for lunch. The recipe was the winner of this month's Sweet Paul Recipe Contest. Yum.

Decorative Purple Kale for Fall
I'll have to buy some decorative kale next week for several planters in the front that now contain geraniums with no flowers. I like kale much better than mums in the fall because the plants last a lot longer. The mums get zapped with the first killing frost but the kale just keeps on going and growing because it's a cold weather crop.
My Antique Silver Hedgehog Pincushion
While we are on the subject of hedgehogs, I decided to take two more photos of my little antique fellow since he sun was shining so brightly on my marble kitchen counter.
He's a solid silver hallmarked pincushion in the shape of a hedgehog. The marks indicate that it was made in Birmingham England in 1903. I got it on an an antique house call years ago and it's one of my favorite things. I had to provide all the quills; the straight pins aren't antique. The stuffing is some kind of coarse animal hair (probably horse). He's pretty wonderful, isn't he?

Narcissistic Hedgehog

Happy Times Alone In The Garden
I scanned this image from one of my books "A Garden Blessing " and added the text myself. It's perfect, isn't it? I love the sunlight and shadows in the garden and on the side of the house.

My Peaceable Kingdom
I just had a delicious dinner and the deer and turkeys are dining together on the lower forty. There are 4 turkeys but you can only see 3 clearly because they are at the bottom of a hill and one is pecking away at the acorns. Both of the bucks have antlers. How exciting. Click to enlarge photos.
