Gray skies

 The lovely fall skies are disappearing  on us to be replaced with gloomy gray. But the weather is mild and it's nice to get out for a walk with Puss, the cat.

My red maple holds on to it's leaves a bit later than other trees.

Some coyote tracks in the mud by the new garage.

I see a small deer track in the same area...made at different times, I suppose.

I'm working on a quilt project for a sort of game with my quilting group.

The challenge is to make a quilt based on artwork.  

It can be any size but I decided to go ahead and make mine big enough to use in the recliner.

I'm sewing and laying out blocks for now. I think I'm going to add a few more shades of color.

You can see my inspiration artwork taped to the wall. It's Van Gogh's "Mulberry Tree".

As usual, I made soup. I used veggies I had on hand including some frozen sweet potato fries.

Leftover chicken and broth from the freezer.

Pretty good. 

A big batch. Some to eat now and some to put in the freezer.
