Not much more - a taste of fall

Rock walls and flowers
BlogPostWed2Sept09
A good bit cooler today – taste of fall. Another mostly rainy day – great excuse to wear my new Wellies! Off this morning to the Actons Hotel pool for Alana’s aquacise class. She really puts us through some tough routines! Then she and I had lunch at Fishy Fishy – delightful hot vegetarian meal with risotto, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. and topped with fried parsnip slices – sort of like our fried sweet potato chips we see occasionally but paper thin! Delicious!
Fun happenstance walking home when I ran into Rose, my yoga teacher, on the street. Second time that’s happened. Truly a small village. I’ll have another class from her tomorrow morning.
This evening dinner at a new restaurant with Alana and ten or so of her Rotary Club members prior to a talk at Carmelite Friary by the hero of Hotel Rwanda. I missed the movie last night partly because I decided it was perhaps not safe to be walking home after ten o’clock at night – but I’ve been assured by friends today that it is perfectly safe. So, I’ll feel okay about roaming around after dark now.
I’m off to the internet café.

  1. we are also having a taste of fall here. It's a beautiful, crisp morning and my spider lilies are starting to pop! I dug and separated a bunch of them last year, but I've forgotten where all I transplanted them to... I feel kind of like a stupid little squirrel! I followed my coffee cup all around the yard this morning looking for flower heads. They haven't opened up yet, so they are still pretty hard to spot. I know I have some in the middle of the grass in the front yard, but I haven't been able to find them... I hope I didn't chop their little heads off the last time I mowed the grass! well, gotta go! I don't want to miss any more of this fine morning. Love ya!
