November 8, The seeds and slow progress.


Remember the seeds that I had found on the beach? Here they are so pretty, they are about 1 1/2" in size, they feel solid and are as smooth as glass.  These seeds are a little roughed up probably because of the storm but they are still really special.  



Here is the progress of the November crochet stitch, its coming along fine, just slow because you have to change yarn colors every row, Yuck! But the color change really makes the stitch pop.
Did you notice the coffee in the cup? Is a new concoction I'm trying, coffee atole a Mexican drink. Atole is a creamy hot drink made with corn flour boiled in water (in this case coffee) and milk, I used almond mild as I am trying to stay away from cheese, I also use artificial sweetener. I tasted good, I had to use french press coffee, I haven't bought instant yet, I'm sure it will make a nice difference, you also sweeten it to taste. My good friend up north makes it for me when I visit her (Inez) mine will never taste as good as hers. It sure makes a nice satisfying breakfast drink that keeps you satisfied for hours. 



Today will be my first flea market day in Sanford shopping, can't wait to see what it is like this year.  The Volusia county fair is going on so the location will be in the parking lot instead of the whole fairgrounds but that's fine, less walking and more looking.
Off I go, maybe tomorrow I'll have flea market photos!

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
