Quiet Sunday...

With the man of the house away for most of the day, I spent a quiet day indoors.

I put towels out as it was really windy but I knew rain was on the way...
~

 It started raining around noon, on and off, so I cross stitched for a while...

This pattern is Dear Jane, taken from an old Civil War quilt dating back to 1863.

I'm half way through it now.  I started this back in 2010 and just pulled it out to have another go at it...

Our autumn has been mild and I'm still getting roses from the garden...

~

I gave the tables out under the pergola a wipe down and de-cobwebbed the windows then swept the pavers. Still a bit of tidying up to do but its better than it was...

~

Bonnie is still under the weather.  Gus (who says he hates the cat) decided she needed some fillet steak to cheer her up! 

~

This morning I tackled another sourdough loaf.  It rose really well.

I cut it at lunch time and its a bit holier so I'm on the right track!
