A VISIT TO THE GRAMPIANS

JENNY AND I drove to Don's at Lake Lonsdale for an overnighter - good time with Don and a walk to the lake, it's fuller than i've ever seen it. everything is looking green and lush, i've brought home bunches of leaves from Don's place and the dyeing i've done is sitting in the iron and copper pots right now, so i'll be heading out to unwrap them soon.



MOUNT DRYDEN in the rain



I brought home this painting of helen's and it's now on
the bedroom wall, a perfect match for the green walls

A WALK down to see the swimmers, i've missed swimming but this gastric thing persists and i'm waiting for the hospital to give me an appointment for gastroscopy and colonoscopy. it's been a nine days since i was in there.






OCTOBER 8 finally i got back in the water yesterday, great to see everyone again.  dear Karen gave me a big brown paper bag full of onion skins,  she works in a supermarket so that will be a great source, i also want to try dried avocado skins. 


The parrots are still arriving at the nesting box on the front porch, 
scuffling around in there so i'm very hopeful that they'll actually hatch some young.  fingers crossed



The blackbirds are also nesting, up high in the liquidambar
