I went for a sunrise walk. And I brought my phone.
Some very late sunflowers.
The schoolhouse and the sheep.
The rising sun behind our compound.
I was gifted some more cucumbers, so of course I made more pickles.
Commence pickling.
October is a mayordoma month for me, so I finally changed the (fake) flowers on the altar from the spring-y ones I put there after Easter to something a bit more seasonally appropriate.
I'm not really a fan of these colors, but at least St. Joseph's robe doesn't clash with them.
Neither does St. Therese's.
And then, of course, I had to make something complementary for the front of the altar.
Autumn arrangement featuring yellow apricot leaves, yellow clover, sunflowers, and orange calendula.
I didn't use the very pink cosmos for that, as they don't really match that color scheme, but I do have a lot of them for the table.
Candlelight and flowers before school for a gentle start to the day.
I found this thing curled up on the floor of the sacristy at church.
It was still barely alive, so I swept it up and put it outside. Even insects dying in a church are entitled to mercy.
Poppy was invited to a classmate's birthday party. This girl doesn't live in our district but chooses to come to our school. Her mother works there, too, and they have to drive over an hour to get to school. Which meant we had to drive an hour to get to her house. About 18 miles of that were on dirt roads.
I bet this is fun in the winter.
They live in a very beautiful spot, though, with a little spring that's been channeled and runs right behind their house.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
