house to the barn.. barn to the house.. how is it my world is already getting smaller?
The studio has been a busy place lately. With less to do in the garden (did I really say that), or more accurately, less that I AM doing in the garden, beans excepted, Chris and I are spending more time working in the shop. I get a batch of yarn steaming and run to the house. A bit later, I'm running back to the shop to get the next run started and the finished one washed. I don't miss going further. There is much to see on this little walk, even more so now. The view changes everyday. One of my favorite spots each year, is a maple in the front yard, surrounded by ferns. They were green only a few days ago.
I have a new laptop that has one of the glaring hard finish monitors that they are using on all of them as protection against pointing, jabbnig fingers. Nothing looks sharp. The pictures looked crisp when I edited them. But now.. not so much. I'm walking a fine line with upload times and file sizes on dial up. Enough for now, Onerva calls.
That little feedjit thing is fun. I just saw one of my past posts showing a picture of a wooly bear. I haven't seen any this year. Have you?
I've seen 2 wooly bears and they were kinda puny in size and mostly brown. None since. My ferns have turned too. Love your view.

The colors of your world are beautiful from the ferns to the sunset to your studio. May you have many more days of color.

Your pics look nice and crisp to me.
Can't wait to see what you are dying up with all the fall influence around!

I've seen one wooly bear and he was mostly brown in the middle with black ends. Mild winter? Actually, I don't care if it's mild...but shorter than 9 months would be a nice change from last year!
Your pictures are sharp on my monitor. Love them!

I loved your photos, I did not know that ferns change colors and the Maple is so pretty. There are very few trees that change color in Southern California, the leaves usually just turn brown and drop. Temps yesterday were hovering just a little above 100 degrees - oh for the cooler air of a real Fall.

I have seen two wooly bears. One very small and brown. The other was normal size but tan.

I haven't, but my husband saw one while hiking in North Alabama - first bear we've seen in the state!

I saw a wooly bear yesterday. Long black, long brown, and then short black. What would the old farmers say about that?
