The smallest bedroom in my grandmother's old, white, clapboard house held a large bureau with a mirror that hung behind it on the wall. That was where my gran kept a box of her jewellery. This was the bedroom that the kids would sleep in while visiting; sometimes three in a double bed. I loved to look through the old jewellery box and would quickly hold a piece up to my ear or along my neck to see what it looked like on. It was a mystery to me why my less than flamboyant gran would even own such glitter. I never once saw a piece on her, ever. Perhaps much of it was her mother's who may have liked to wear such things. I would try to picture her wearing it with her lips painted red.

There was a window next to the dresser that looked out the front of the house and down to the road. That was where the old well is that you see in many of my photos now. It was painted white back then, too.
My fall feeder is fixed and in order once again.
I love the memories that flow through my mind as I go about the day here. Some as vivid as if it was yesterday.
Chickadee stopped by for tea. :)
My newest feeder.
Someone please stop me.
Today it is hot and humid. So much so that I cleaned out the birdbath and filled it with cold water for the birds, watered everything twice and then went to the local market to buy some pumpkins. Just having them around makes me happy and excited for fall to arrive. The colours of fall are so beautiful. The old maple above the bench will be a brilliant orange and red before long. The property will be ablaze with red, orange and gold when the maple leaves turn their colours. It's quite the sight to see. I only hope I can capture it for you with my old, worn out camera. Perhaps it's time to go shopping and put this Canon Power Shot pocket camera to rest.
Today at the old pump.
The retired-guy being, well, retired.
"Happy Labour Day" to everyone.
hugs, Deb
