But first, we visited with our family before the weather changed. We visited my brother, sitting on his deck. Deer came to the yard and birds visited the feeder as we talked.
He designed and built a shed that is like a small cabin with a porch swing facing the canal that goes to Cass Lake.

And we visited our son and his girlfriend outdoors, with masks, watching the grandpuppies play in the yard. We only spent a few moments indoors to see Gus, the new kitten.

The weather quickly changed, the leaves came down, and it finally feels like November.

Luckily, I have plenty to keep me busy. My TBR galley shelf is filled up and I have dozens of incomplete quilt projects to finish and fabric to 'use up'.
Bellevue Literary Press sent me the ARC of Norman Lock's new book in his American Novels series, Tooth of the Covenant which is about Nathaniel Hawthorne. I have enjoyed four other novels in the series and some day hope to read the others.
- John Keats, a biography by Suzie Grogan
- Jane Austen’s Best Friend: The Life and INfluence of Martha Lloyd by Zoe Wheddon
- The Life She Wished to Live: A Biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of the Yearling by Ann McCutchan
- Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature by Angus Fletcher
- The Bookseller of Florence: The Story of the Manuscripts that Illuminated the Renaissance by Ross King
- The Last Green Valley by Mark Sullivan interested me because it is about Germans in the Ukraine under Soviet rule who had to escape during WWII
- The Fortunate Ones by Ed Tarkington
- The Invisible Women by Erika Robuck
- Girl Explorers by Jayne Zanglein
- Brood by Jackie Polzin
- Lady Bird Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight by Julia Sweig
- Astrid Sees All by Natalie Standiford
- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
- The Souvenir Museum by Elizabeth McCracken
I used a vintage embroidered linens, crotchet, trims, buttons, and a quilt top.
Every day I take a walk around the neighborhood. I was surprised by this squirrel going in and out of a hole in the tree.
