November

When he entered the house whistling, Eileen groaned. He had fixed the thing, as he had said he would. She knew there was no escape now.

“Go on, into the light with you!” Tobias ordered, triumphantly waving the old camera at her.

“Sentimental nonsense,” Eileen muttered; but she hoisted herself out of her chair, and pulled on a coat and hat against the crisp November cold.

Once outside, watching her husband fidget with the camera, she could not stop a faint smile of amusement from curling her mouth. Very well, then. But she refused to look at the stupid birdie.

What she said!

Both drabble and painting are lovely. I like Eileen's hat! And the blues of it & her dress against the wall. And that you can see the chimney of the mill in the window...

Thanks :D! The drabble is the first thing I've written in ages. I didn't expect it to happen, but there you go ;). Pictures always do help me *g*.
