one after another, until I came to my senses

Here are  things that have occupied my time this week.  Not in alphabetical, numerical, or any other kind of order.   Without shame or apology.   You'll see later why I added that. 

Marigolds inspected.  Mail-in ballot completed and deposited in mail box.  Garland over the table fixed exactly to my liking. 

Made the last wilted greens with tart cherries and sweet onions of the season.  After each leaf of rainbow chard was held up to the light and viewed like a stained glass window.

Wondered why decorative grasses always play second fiddle to the fall leaves.   Ate vanilla wafers with whipped cream, right out of the box, one after another, until I came to my senses.

Beautiful photos, as usual. I never tire of your Farmer's Market pics. Chard was one of my Gran's favorite greens, always had some in the garden.

I'm knee deep into my latest obsession: knitting podcasts on You Tube, yes, videos of knitters doing their thing. It's like a knit & natter but they do all the talking and show and tell. It sure beats watching some of the junk that's on TV, especially with all the political ads that make me want to tear my hair out. So ugly.

Re: wafers and cream. It is the horrendous stuff from either side about the election - makes us need comfort food. Kudos on coming to your senses instead of waiting until, with a start, you realized that you had eaten them all.
