weekend winding down

Saturday was the nicest day we've had in ages.
Cool and breezy.


After morning chores and doing the recycling, Piper and I went for a walk by the pond.


It was overcast, but very pleasant.



And after a while, the sun appeared!




The air was crystal clear. So much to see and admire.


I had carried my sketching chair into the woods, hoping to paint outdoors for a change if the mosquitoes weren't too bad.


And they weren't! The really vicious late-summer mosquitoes are still here, but they weren't out in huge numbers. So I chose a nice spot to set up my chair and sketch for a while at the edge of the wetland.

But every time I reached for my sketchbook, this happened:



No sketching allowed!
Fair enough, Piper.

It was such a perfect afternoon.
The very faintest beginning of Autumn in the air.
We had a great time, and I let Piper decide when it was time to head home.

That was Saturday.

This was Sunday:


I think Piper's weekend was a success!

I hope yours was, too :)
