News, weekly blog posting from Della's Rug Hooking.

Last Week of October, October 24, 2021

The beautiful fall leaves in my neck of the woods have nearly all fallen off the maple trees.  You know what comes next, cooler temps and snow.  We've had a wonderful fall thus far so I can't complain.  Halloween will be almost over this time next week.  The above picture is of my granddaughter Sophie and the costume she will be wearing to trick and treat.  I think she looks like a fabulous astronaut and I am glad I got to see it in person this weekend while visiting.

Beautiful Autumn, October 17, 2021

All of the glorious colours surrounding us here in Northern Nova Scotia just makes a body feel wonderful!  I'll be sad to see all the leaves fall from the trees.  It is my favorite time of year I must admit.  The above picture I captured at a friends camp.

Rain, Rain, September 26, 2021

You know the saying, when it rains, it pours.  Today seemed to be exactly that.  When you thought it couldn't possibly rain any harder, it did. I was traveling home today from Halifax and I have never driven on the highway with so much water on it before.  It was crazy and I hope all those who had to travel on it, got safely home.
