Today's daily stitch.

Actually I think there are 2 days stitch here. Yesterday I did the chain stitch around the curved vine and today I did the dark blue knots along the central feather stitch line. Loving doing it.

Wandering today

We drove over to Pt Willunga for morning tea this morning, called into an open inspection, interesting, not sure when if ever I have been to an open inspection. P's daughter was the agent, walked back and passed this lovely house that was once in John's family, not sure if it still is but I remember going there when we were first married. We drove home over Springmount, dirt roads and lots of trees. When we got home I thought I would go to find curled eucalyptus leaves, none to be found but this lovely old pony stallion I bred has come home from being in Victoria for a while, Nice to have him over the fence from the house. I also saw the three yearling fillies a bit far away but when they did decide to come were so in my face I couldnt get a photo, I think there are only two in this photo. I am having problems with my eyes and so not seeing terribly well. Any way it is quite nice and cool and it was lovely to manage a walk in the paddocks without falling over!

Very low tide this morning

We were a bit earlier this morning and there was a very low tide just on the turn, quite cool early too as again we had this very low cloud. The little hooded plover were out and about, only two in my photo but we saw three. We have been lucky with the weather. John had hoped to go fishing today but the captain didnt like the sound of the wind forcast. So instead we tidied the house and he did some spraying outside. I did some embroidery and felt tired, not a good nights sleep hadnt helped my energy levels,

Down the garden path

Sedum Autumn Joy, perennial aster (I think) and my smoke bush which seems to be flowering when it shouldnt be. The sun is out and it has got hot again, I am having a day of not seeing terribly well, bother.

Last 2 days of daily stitch.

Not sure how easy these are to see, some red leaves on a vine and some green star flowers filling in around the orange flowers. I really must add up my days to make it easier to remember. Quite warm and humid again.

Cliff walk

We walked the cliffs near Petrel's Cove this morning, cool and windy, I had to wear a jacket and very low cloud, not a sea mist and not fog but not good visibility either. These small yellow daisies are flowering. It was a nice walk and this afternoon I had a wander arund some of the foals, we are starting to wean so things are getting busy. Humid this afternoon. Looking forward to a proper autumn but I dont suppose that will happen for a while yet.

Hot, an early beach walk and a drive.

We walked early as it promised to be hot, there was a lovely cool breeze off the sea, then after we came home I drove over to Yankalilla to deliver an embroidery to a friend for an exhibition the Embroiderers Guild is holding. Love the shadows on the back road. I have made more zuccini stock and a potato salad for dinner, we will be having the last of the fish tonight that John caught on Sunday. Apart from that I have more or less hunkered down under a fan to wait out this burst of heat.
