I was gardening yesterday and came across dozens and dozens of chubby, happy spiders – not so nice for the rest of the insect population, but the spiders are having a bumper year!<br />How could I not visit you Anita? Your blog fills my heart with joy, as does your friendship.

Everyone is out on their bikes, shopping and sailing their boats. We just got back from a lovely time out at the antique stores, and of course, I thought of you. There were many sweet children's books from America and they brought back so many great memories.<br /><br />It was great to see your comment just now! Thank you for your faithful readership my friend; I enjoy being a little off the beaten path! Enjoy your new week as we enter into the world of October!
