This morning I returned to the bed along the side of the garden, very rooty there but I have ignored it long enough! Probably worked on it for about an hour and a half, not a lot to show for it.
This afternoon I walked into Dunkeld. A lass called Katie is leaving Corbenic this week and when she looked at my sketches months ago she was so excited that I was a ‘real artist’. I wrote a card for her and put one of my sketches in a bag with it. She was so delighted that it made my day! I took some photos, it was a very cold but bright day.
The next two photos are of the bridge, haven’t been able to see much of it close up but now most of the leaves have dropped it has made a difference.
Still some colour.
The last two I liked as the water is golden!
This evening when Tina was on her way home from an appointment she hit a deer that jumped out just in front of her. The deer didn’t make it and Tina has quite a lot of damage to the she seems okay although obviously it shook her up.
I have been doing some knitting, slowly, but have now go to the bigger needles.
Portrait artist of the year was good, no more knitting tonight!
I wouldn’t say you don’t have a lot to show for your gardening. The bed looks a lot better than it did, and you can certainly see where you’ve been. Not bad for an hour and a half.
ReplyDeleteThat was really nice give the lass a sketch. I’m sure she’ll treasure that. It’s a very personal gift.
The photos all look really nice again today. The light is very nice. I have to agree that’s it’s a bit strange to be able to see the bridge as well as that. It makes a big difference. You still have some great autumnal colours to play with. I particularly like the pic looking up into the trees. Great colours and lighting.
I’d be very happy to go out and get such a good set of pics.
Poor Tina. That’s terrible, but it’s not easy to avoid an animal determined to run in front of you like that. Do you have to report hitting a deer? I know in England you have to report hitting a dog, but not a cat. I suppose that’s a throwback to dogs being licensed and not cats.
Hopefully the car will get repaired quickly via the insurance.
The knitting is coming on ok. It looks a bit more like a hat now 😂
Hope you sleep well.
I had forgotten what a challenge that bed under the hedge is, never going to clear it of roots but regular hoeing has kept the part a did a while ago quite good.
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon light was very good and I was pleased with the photos today.
Yes, I think Katie will treasure the sketch, she was saying she would frame it.
Luckily Tina is feeling okay. I am not sure if she has to report it, but she will check that.
Settling down to the knitting now, I think I got rid of the other hats I had knitted, which is a shame as I liked them!
