Three pleasures

Today was meant to be a housework day. We are taking part in Salisbury's Arts Trail at the beginning of October and there is so much that I should be doing. Instead I have done the minimum of chores and spent this sunny day enjoying myself.
About two weeks ago I bought myself a bunch of yellow Chrysanthemums. They are not my favorite flower and had looked rather harsh and stiff in their large vase. So I chopped them down, changed their pot and added Sage from the garden. Lemons and figs seemed to complete the picture.



The sunshine tempted me out on one of my favourite walks, across the local fields. Today I  became engrossed in picking up interesting shaped pieces of flint. The result is a little childish but such fun!



The bright berries and leaves of Autumn are just beginning to glow. I love making seasonal wreaths for my door and I'm really happy with this one.




It has been a worthwhile day
But I still have an untidy bedroom....

One day at a time



I decided to follow my day with photographs-

the vital morning mug of tea


it's a bright start to the day




Ablutions




breakfast


unavoidable chore





watering



dealing with
emails and phone calls eats into the morning




time for a little something






This is the work  I enjoy





A quick lunch, then




I'm off


to the Dairy House Antiques


and my bookcase


where I happily add  to and re-arrange my books


the weather is still lovely


so I enjoy my journey back


there's the Spire, nearly home


spag bol for supper



too soon it's time...


for bed
Night night....
