week end...

Fresh from the onion skin dye pot, ready to be hung up to dry.

>> happy to be finishing off a long week, watching the dusk slowly slip in and feeling the air cool off, just a little.

>> feeling full, after riding our bikes into town for dinner, sitting on the deck of the local mexican restaurant and drinking pineapple/lime margaritas in the late afternoon sun.

>> pulling gorgeous yellow-oranges out of the onion skin dye jar to dry overnight.

>> thinking that freshly dyed fabric might could become more chanterelles before sunday night.

>> planning to get up before dawn tomorrow to go fishing on the river as the sun comes up. i suspect the others will be fishing and i'll be 'shooting' instead in that early morning light.

>> feeling settled in our decision to move into a little house in october, an opportunity that came out of nowhere but has all sorts of possibilities our current basement suite does not - a whole house, quick access to the beach, a basement workshop, a sewing room, room for a garden, perhaps room for a dog...

>> wondering what else the weekend might have in store. wishing you a good one.

They are beautiful colours! I've never dyed anything so am very impressed. Getting closer to the beach would be fabulous. I can imagine the pictures you'll take.

Absolutely beautiful colors. They look so Autumnal--perfect for the transition from Summer to the next season. And congrats on the house decision! So many new possibilities.
