Starting to feel like Fall

A bit chilly this morning. In the past two weeks the leaves have turned and there is so much color! My favorite season. Last weekend my husband and I took a walk/hike in Champlin Glacier Park in RI. It was an easy hike and very peaceful. Took a few pictures along the way.

. It was a really pleasant way to spend the afternoon. The weekend before my sister in law and her family came to brunch. They were in the area for a wedding. I was given crazy patch squares that my husband's great aunt had made. My husband and his sister found them in their mom's house as they were cleaning and getting it ready to sell. I squared them and made them all the same size and assembled a baby quilt. My husband's nephew and his wife were also at the brunch and I presented them with the baby quilt for their daughter.

. It was pretty special and my sister in law recognized many of the fabrics from clothing that her great aunt and mother had worn. Book group met two weeks ago. We discussed The Biggest Bluff. Not sure how many of us actually finished the book (I didn't) but it did generate quite the discussion. We thought is would be fun to have a game night and actually learn to play Texas Hold 'Em. Currently we are reading Have You Seen Luis Velez? I am really enjoying the book and am about halfway through it.

Of course three books on hold came into the library this week and while I was in the library on the shelf was Stacy Abrams book which I just had to pick up.

Goes in the TBR pile by my bed. Trying a new bread recipe. Should be interesting. Baker wanted to creat a bread that you baked on a pizza stone, free form......

Fall Days

September flew by. My book club's annual gathering in Rhode Island was the weekend after Labor Day. Picture perfect weather. We had a wonderful lunch on the screened porch looking out at the water. After we went to the beach. Several of us swam, a few took a walk, and some just sat and enjoyed the sun. Perfect. Afer returning to the house, showers were taken and then we sat on the deck with some apps and drinks. And talked. Dinner was grilled salmon and everyone contributed to the meal. Lots of food and talk. We selected our books for the year and really arrived at a great diversity. Our October book is The Biggest Bluff (biography of sorts). Hoping we can meet in person this year and not do any Zoom meetings. No one was really happy about doing them but we made it work.

Had a great turnout-only missing two members!
