The Kitschen TableClearly still trying to get the hang of blogging...not exactly a quick study. Today is a beautiful day here along the Erie Canal.The temp is mild and the sun has that thin feel of fall. Lots of flowers are going to seed. I am packaging as many as I can in clearly labeled envelopes to bring with me if we do move.Looking toward the future and the beauty and excitement spring will hold. The cleome self seeded like crazy this year. And my beloved Strawberry Fields Gomphrena that I was told would not reseed, did! This is now one of my favorite flowers. The red heads truly look like strawberries nestled among the leaves in the garden...and they dry beautifully. I will continue to collect and plant Nigella even tho they require constant dead heading...they are worth it. And my gorgeous nicotiana that are now 3 feet tall will come with me,too. And how could I ever forget my convulvlous...a morning glory look alike that has given me thousands of flowers for 6 years at the cost of 1 pack of seeds. Tonight is the grade school welcome back picnic. I am on dessert duty. Sorry....had to buy my stuff this year. A huge pile of mini chocolate chip cookies, chocolate donut holes surrounded by 300 Kisses... should be a hit...homemade or not.Kids don't seem to care.

Well, back to the trying- to -get- ready -for -a -move grind.

Peace...on this day...and always..
