Catching Flies




This old glass fly catcher has been sitting around at the lake house
 with a piece of faux ivy trailing out of it 
for probably eight or ten years. 
I am pretty sure that I found it at Brimfield one year
 while shopping the markets with my girlfriend Paula.


I rinsed the dust off her this morning
 and plucked a pretty pink cone flower to adorn her.


 

Isn't she pretty?
:)

A sign on the bulletin board in the market yesterday announced:

Hot showers at the Fire House
Bring your own towel

Luckily though...our electricity was restored last evening!
...earlier than expected...thank goodness!
It felt so good to have a hot shower before bed last night.
It's the little things!

Summer Fades...













Saturday was a beautiful day up here in the mountains...
but that was just one nice day in a whole week of overcast, drizzly, windy and cold days...

The forecast is for more rain and cold temperatures...
...so it looks like we will be heading south in a few days to warmer climates...
...even if that just means downstate a few hours!

Summer fades...
...but hopefully autumn will appear with bright sunny days to make the beautiful colors of the foliage sparkle and shine.
When that happens we will be back to see these mountains in all their colorful glory!

I hope the week ahead brings good things and fun times with family and friends.
