Last bits of Summer and the view from here. I’ve been holed up finishing work for a deadline and am finally coming up for air. But in between, there’s been some collage making (above), pumpkin harvesting (middle) and picking the last of the flowers (below) and a fortuitous used book discovery at Book and Bar (also below). Please tell me I’m not the only person that buys duplicates of their favorite books because they can’t see them sit unloved?

Aside from all that, there’s been lots of swimming and ice cream this summer. There’s been watching of Miss Scarlet and the Duke. I made apple hand pies from this recipe. And this Tiny Desk Concert is all kinds of wonderful (full disclosure, Left Handed Kisses is probably in my top 50 songs ever ever ever).

So back to the drafting table. Then out of doors. Because there’s a handful of days before Autumn is here, proper, and I intend to squeeze every last ounce out of Summer.
