Ordinary Days~

Ah, these last few months seem to have gone by ridiculously fast.  After our first cold blast of autumn the weather warmed up a bit again, and we have had a lovely bit of Indian Summer here ~ warm and windy, and only a spattering of rain.  The vines up the north side of our house are turning dark red and purple-ish colors like the trees lining the streets of our little town.

Our days have been filled with the usual things: school, cooking, baking, cleaning, playing music, writing songs, singing, reading new books (and old books), walking to piano lessons in the falling leaves, and all that sort of thing.  I hope to post more soon, but here are a few pictures from the last several weeks. ~

picking up the fiddle a bit more lately ~

moving books about,

We moved this bookshelf into the livingroom, and it looks scrumptious there...

The Wind in the Willows ~ what a perfect title, and what a perfect book...

The leaves are turning fast,

Hmmm... something very sticky and caramel-y that I made recently...
