I read the roof across the street and knew we’d had a hard frost. My houseplants had been safely inside for days, so I could just enjoy the brisk air.
I had not read the street with its evidence that Logan and his nephews, Sufi and Pico, had left their marks. In the past, I envied Linda’s posts on street art in her area. There were drawings of professional quality (see here). I’m so happy we have some art of our own now.
Even though I feel the dog should be holding onto her fur, she has been shedding everywhere lately. I picked up one little tuft and knew right where it belonged. I had seen photos of model trains in John’s magazines, and Kacey’s fur was perfect as steam engine smoke on a table lamp.

Great street art! And what wonderful use of the errant dog hair. Clever.

We hope to supply the entire mountainside bird population with dog fur for building nests next spring.

We just had our first frost although it was spotty. Petunias were not happy!

My chives survived. We had plenty on our baked potatoes today.

I’ve never thought of using dog hair to decorate before but when we had our (long-haired) Trooper people suggested that I could spin his hair into yarn and crochet with it.

Spinning, despite the name, would be a long, slow process, wouldn’t it?

It’s something I never mastered. I think it could be quick for someone who knows how.

Oh, Anne, I love that you used Kacey’s shed hair to make smoke on the train lamp. I think John smiled, just like I did.

Yes, John would have been amused.

Kacey’s fur sure looks like smoke on that train. I only saw chalk art once this year since I’ve been driving to the Park instead of walking to benefit the car. I miss seeing it.

Our chalk art was the first I’ve seen here.

That’s an excellent use of tuft, Anne. Haha. Very clever. Markus also points to the roof of the neighbors opposite us when informing me regarding frost. Glad your plants are inside now!

Hi Anne, I’ve been ‘reading’ the weather here too as it changes the look of things around my home. Only a slight touch of frost so far, and like you, I’ve had the houseplants in time. Enjoy the Autumn. I love your posts…they are homey, and they give me a sense of comfort. There are still good people in this world, and I consider you one of them. God bless you. PS Love that steam. 🙂
