a weekend

We took Elin on a walk in the woods.

It's so pretty in the field.

The fall colors this year are all goofed up by heat and drought.  Some have lost all their leaves while others are still green.   It's still pretty, but just not like last year when all the planets and stars aligned.

These days of early darkness create some gorgeous cloud situations.

Our little ghosties:  

This stairway landing was a lot of measuring and weird cuts, but it looks great. The goal is for imperfections to be not distracting--not that they don't exist, but that they don't distract.

Under the fridge (which was pronounced dead today by an appliance repairman) and under the stove, which slipped back into place so easily with those special slides put under the corners and a new, longer cord.

Good night, such a lovely weekend. 

Love, Val
