Passing showers

This may look terrible on a computer screen but fine on my phone, so apologies. Often the weather confines itself to the mountains where spectacular light and shade is forever playing.
Busy (ish) day. A frenzy of cooking in the morning - squash and lentil soup; apple,/pear/feijoas muffins and a pear and feijoa compot. Yes we have an awful lot of feijoas.
Lazy (ish) afternoon and I even managed a bit of reading in the sunshine. Just finishing Hilary Mantel's The Mirror & The Light. Astonishing, compelling work but he, Cromwell, is on the downward spiral.
Big walk with Esme and Joe. All the animals and birds seem very frisky with one thing to their minds. Is that normal in Autumn?
