Going to  a "Spooky Stitchin" tonight with the old

stitching group so I made this as a hostess gift.  My first try at ornament
type finishing. Can really appreciate all the beautiful finishes I see
and the work it takes to do them

I wish I'd had my camera when I went on my walk this morning>
We live in an old subdivision with no outlet  and there are 3 miles of
beautiful roads to walk --heavily wooded.  Today's companions
were 3 separate groups of deer -- one was made up almost

entirely of "young bucks" proudly sprouting their antlers. Besides
these was the red fox -- looks like a youngster.  He will walk ahead of me
a little ways the turn around as if to say "still coming?" then as I 

move toward him, he'll trot on a little further until finally scampering

off to another adventure in the woods.  How beautiful this, my
favorite time of year.
