Breakfast is always good.

Leaves fall in the spring here too so I had to rake for the first time in my life. They quickly filled my new compost bin and I still had three quarters of the yard to clear.

I was a little alarmed to rake up this giant spider!

In trying to befriend it I discovered it to be someone’s fake Halloween spider. Real spiders have eight eyes, not two evil ones.

I also raked clear a welcome mat I didn’t know we had. The excitement never ends…

Then it was off to the Laundromat where I read Cosmo and watched the Spanish lads fold their clothes.

Classic Laundromat décor.

In the afternoon I decided I would peruse a box of Lance’s mother’s recipe cards. Hmm, perhaps I could try and make them all.

I started with Apple Brown Betty.

There’s dessert taken care of.

After supper I made another entry in my Sketch-a Day book.

I stepped outside to wander in the garden before dark and found a beautiful flower growing randomly under a tree – a magnolia?

I admired the sunset

but hurried inside as soon as the creepy cats came out.
