Autumnal Colors

There are still a few summer blooms in the garden, like pink geraniums, pink impatiens and two kinds of morning glories: blue and a ruffled pink. But there are now fall looking purple asters and a few different varieties of sunflowers. I picked a few to display in the house today.

I like the little hearts in the center of the sunflowers.

Do you see them in this detail? Sometimes they show up better, but this is what I happened to get a photo of.

Another view of the sunflower arrangement.

Uh Oh, is that more knitting? Yes, it's March Hare, a pretty bag knitted up the last couple of nights. Another item that needs finishing (and I have to find a handle/lining/buttons for it too). I have to do a major amount of blocking so I can get to some FO's! The trouble is, with new TV viewing (like the fantastic Inspector Lewis) I want to sit and watch while knitting something, not fussing over finishing details. Still, I should have some nice new finished things in October =)

Saffy got a new bed this week. It is a cushy mat with egg crate foam inside and fluffy fabric outside. She kicked away the towel so she could be directly on the soft fluff! She spun around with happiness at first.

Then settled down, but was still attentive in case there were more surprises. Eventually, she got arranged on her side and looked very comfortable.
