It's Here! It's Here!

Fall is here!
I'm super excite for fall...
For one thing, it's hands down my favorite season...
Changing leaves
Shorter Days
Cuddling up in hand knit hats, cowls, sweaters, socks, mitts, etc.
Pumpkins! Oh Pumpkins! How I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E pumpkins
Football games
end of racing season...

the fall is a beautiful time of year...The days can still be warm and delightful, but there is a snap in the air and a change of smell that heightens the senses. It's a time where we can layer instead of bundle up...
Tank tops under sweaters, under cowls, under hats, and hand-knit socks that keep the snap from freezing your toes...

It's gusts of wind and leaves flying thru the air...

It's fall.
It makes me miss Minnesota.
The times that Megan and I would drive to Two Harbors and look at the leaves.
Walking down the driveway at home with my Mom...
The smell of burning leaves.
The new freshness in the air that's carried on the wind...
Did I mention pumpkins...

As I write this I picture my mom, walking thru her tomato plants and picking the ripe fruit. She makes  pretty big haul. On past visits I've done it with her and I love it. I wish I was there right now... I love the smell of tomato vines and I love eating a tomato sandwich made with her tomatoes...

It's time for my early weekend mornings, knitting and drinking coffee and hanging with the dogs....
It's harassing D on a daily basis to go to the pumpkin patch and try to convince him that I need 20 pumpkins, not just 4.

It's also our nine year anniversary.
This year we are doing something simply fabulous for our anniversary.
It includes friends, who also have anniversaries in October.
Wanna know why we all have anniversaries in October?
It's the end of racing season and we all married race car drivers...

Today I donned on the socks I finished over the summer...I'm doing a Floating Home tour with my friend and we have to take off our shoes...i dislike walking thru strangers homes without my shoes on but I really dislike doing it in my bare feet.

I'm just waiting for D so we can go have pancakes for breakfast...

Happy Sunday ya'll!

Love your post! Fall is here as well. You've inspired me to write about autumn today as well! But I need to wait until the sun goes down. :)

Wish you were here to go to the apple orchards and pumpkin patches with us! Or better yet I WOULD love to visit your pumpkin patch you visit out in WA. Looks like you have a fun time every time you go!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
