We went out for a quick pre-coffee walk this morning. It was beautiful--not hot and not cold. Just chilly enough to wear a sweater. There was a breeze. Clouds blocked the sun. I was drinking in the peace and calm and enjoying the autumnal landscape.
Even though the clouds blocked the sun, Errigal was still in view.
This is pretty much the color of the sweater I'm wearing today.

I hope that this day brings you whatever it is that you want/need. I'm going to refill my coffee mug. 😃

What a fabulous looking walk Shari. I love deserted buildings and what is left of them, but it is always sad too. And I bet that's a lovely sweater you wore. Did you knit it. We're having a late summer like day today and I spent several hours cleaning up some garden spaces this morning. That makes me happy as much as taking a walk. I hope you have a lovely rest of your weekend.
You have your own pointy hill (looks like a mountain to me!). What a beautiful walk and early. Autumn walks are beautiful and this was no exception. What a lovely area you have to call home.
I don't know what happened to that cottage--it was still intact 3 years ago! Yes, I did make the sweater I'm wearing, using yarn a friend brought me from the Boston Goodwill several years ago. It was a huge cone of thin yarn, which I used double and crocheted with it that way. I then made a could pair of fingerless gloves and some sock cuffs with some of the leftovers. And I still have more! I'm on a new-to-me refurbished computer and haven't yet moved my old photos over, but I'll see if I have one.
It is such a lovely place, Jeanie--I am so grateful! having lived on the west coast where there are really big mountains, I was always amused at what they called a mountain when we returned to New England. It's the same here. But that's just me. :-)
What a wonderful post.
Like you I enjoy the 'Ber' months.
Your words "peace and calm and enjoying the autumnal landscape" are my favourite kind of day.
Wishing you (and Bill) a happy and peaceful weekend.
My very good wishes.
All the best Jan
It really does look tranquil, Shari. I would be thrilled to make this walk, and I would make sure I had a matching sweater. We would be quite a sight!
I hope you have many peaceful days during the -ber months, Jan! They always fly by so quickly and I'm trying to enjoy each moment :-) Have a lovely day!
I'll have your sweater ready, David! We'll be sure to coordinate with the landscape :-)
I will be in England this time next week, for just five days with no time to spare, otherwise I would seriously think of a lightening visit.
So close and yet so far! Hopefully one day you'll be able to come for a visit 🤞 Have a great trip!
I love this post! A few of my favorite things are coffee, weather that's not not hot or cold, peace, calm and enjoying the autumn colors. Sadly, Florida is not an autum color state. I only know of one tree in my area that chaanges colors and that's at the local Publix.
We don't get much color here either, Vicki. I love it when I see it but usually we have strong winds that blow the leaves off the trees before they change. :-(
