From my neighbor. She got them at the Farmer’s Market today. I’d given some knitting help. What a gorgeous autumn bouquet. I put the flowers in my vintage hammered aluminum pitcher.
Thank you Cathy

Solar Lanterns on the Front Porch
Listening for Birds on the Front Porch Tuesday Morning
No wonder I enjoy knitting on the front porch in the early morning. The temps are cooler now. I don’t keep a feeder so I don’t see all the birds but this morning there were quite a few new species that were heard by the free Merlin App out of Cornell Lab of Ornithology
These are screen shots of the birds heard in recording their songs. Usually there are crows and mourning doves but not this morning. The blue jays are the loudest.
When you travel, change locations it’s fun to record the different birds and compare lists. this is what I do in my retirement.

Bob is our 17 year old feral cat. He doesn’t have a tail. Granddaughter Anna named him.
He’s really Steve’s cat as he has fed and watered him all this time. I’ve pitched in on occasion but Steve had dedicated himself to his care.
It’s a long story but we were able to catch, fix and release two young cats years ago. Our 90 year old neighbor had cats who were fertile and she moved to an assisted living home but the cats remained next door.
This is a from 2017. Bob lets Steve pick him up sometimes. Here they are the front porch
My sister photographed Bob’s Christmas house last year

The top and bottom photos are easy. There’s one in each photo.
Taken with the phone. They are fast but such a delight to see as I sat on my front porch this morning.
Porch Knitting Inspiration
My granddaughter took a photo of me and two good knitting friends as we sat on my front porch, knitting.
One friend Terry was knitting socks with the Woolens and Nosh Yarn colorway actually named Porch Knitting.
Our friend Randi was knitting a Hawthorne Tank by Caitlin Hunter.
I was knitting Christmas Socks with Must Stash Yarn that Terry had given me.
I shared the photo of the three of us with our Knitting Buddies Zoom group.
And the photo inspired one of our members to paint us -Porch Knitting.
It was Joanne’s first time using acrylics and she was visiting her sister Mary who was tutoring her on using the new paints. Joanne usually paints with watercolors.
Here’s her first acrylic painting-
