Autumn Sunshine and Leaves

Cleo and I are loving the fall weather.

*

Today I got 4 blog awards;

have a post on my picks almost ready to go;

it made my day!

The leaves are turning.

I am working on a cover letter.

I framed an icon today,

I must show you all some of my newest icons sometime,

I still have not taken a picture of the one of

St. Katherine...

Meanwhile,

Cleo and I were hanging out today at home

(Quelle suprise (translated What a surprise))

when Cleo discovered a Wasp inside a lamp shade.

I sprayed and then doused it with water

until it was bedraggled and then

lifted it via a piece of paper outside;

am hoping it recovers but never

comes back inside!

I was walking to church this noon and found a wasp following me,

but did a fast turn about action and thought it had gone.

Was it with me all along? I'll never know

but am thankful I was not stung by it!

This is a soup of my own making!

a can of tomatoes, 1 can kidney beans,

4 small potatoes

3 carrots

1 zucchini

a bunch of fresh then frozen basil

a two big handfuls of spinach

(about half a bag from the store)

a few green beans

2 garlic cloves

3 celery stocks

2 small onions

(all three fried in olive oil before adding

water and vegetable bullion cube)

It turned out pretty good!

I love eating soup with corn tortilla chips!

Well, back to my cover letter.

I hope to post my Thank You Etc post

yet today if possible...

just waiting on one detail...
