I haven't added a teacup to my collection for a long time. I have to be more choosy now because I'm running out of space.
This pretty cup and saucer were made in occupied Japan. When I saw it in the thrift store I knew it would come home with me.
It was very foggy when we set out on our walk this morning. It looks like the Coots are back to spend the winter on the lake. It's hard to see them but there were so many!
On the way back the fog had lifted enough so I could get a picture of a neighbour's Autumn Crocus.
Yesterday was this sweet girl's birthday. I was so overjoyed to become a granny... 32 years have gone by so quickly. She and her BF came for supper.
Her gift to herself was this adorable kitten which her cousin is holding.
Enough sitting around. I have yard work to do while the weather holds.
Whatever your day holds I hope it's all good.
