One more week to Fall! Yes! It's starting to look like it more and more right now, pumpkins are coloring orange, red berries are appearing on several shrubs and some tall grasses are showing their pretty plumes.
The warm weather is just not quitting though!
We're still in the high 70's but at least the forecast is finally predicting two days of rain starting tomorrow, so I guess I can't complain too much!
Also, my morning glory that didn't do much all summer is finally putting out some flowers, so there's that:


Here's something else I 'did'. I made 'hutspot'!

It's a dutch dish, mashed potato and carrots with sausage and gravy, primarily eaten when it's cold since it's sort of that 'stick to the ribs' or 'comfort' kind of food, but you can eat it any time you fancy of course. It's a little odd to be able to eat it outside though ..
Merl' tried the sausage but is no fan .. oh, well, more for us!

I also made (look, another thing I did!) a Raspberry Crisp with the raspberries I've picked (and am still picking) from 'Doug's' yard. Crisps are so easy to make and this one came out very delicious, especially with some whipped cream.
I even managed to save two pieces for next weekend!

Since the weather was good, warm and no (almost) wind, James did some more work on the car. He decided to spray-paint the, rather scuffed up, bumpers.
(But not after a lot of sanding and masking of course ..)

It's hard to see but it came out very nice and after two layers of this primer, he added two layers of the 'real' paint and than two layers of a glossy finish.
Looking so much better!
The spots he painted last week are still not 'done' yet though. He's going to work on them some more with a rubbing compound, but they aren't looking too good and he might have to spray the whole hood after all .. oh well, we'll see ..
I didn't do much, as usual off-course, this week. I know, I know .. but somebody has to do it, or not?
My dental hygienist asked me this week: "what do you do?", and I said .. nothing! It threw her off a bit, I think. I mean, who doesn't do anything these days? They all work, work, work .. well, that's not fair off course, a lot just have to, I guess .. I'm lucky!
I did started spinning some of the wool that came with my 'new-to-me' spinning wheel I got this spring:

Outside spinning is so much fun, very relaxing, and nice and cool in the shade of the big oak behind the RV ..

OK, 'nough said! Something else I 'do'. I write a blog. I'm a writer! Ha!
That's something!
Here's something I didn't have a hand in at all, a beautiful sunset:
