embracing autumn


summer seems a distant memory now. we are all fully into autumn. this year for me it seems to be circling around produce. watching the plants in the garden and the greenhouse find that last bit of energy needed to ripen. spending saturdays at the farmer's market - selling my knitwear and handspun wool - but also getting excited each saturday morning to see what new produce there will be (this week was egglant from the greenhouse in little rapids and apples from craig strang's tree in meadows).
this morning is heavy rain and i have the little propane fire going in the livingroom and i'll be settling down to a morning of spinning and knitting. after all the frenzied activity of the summer - both in the garden and in myself - this quiet is ok.

A day spinning in front of a fire sounds so wonderful. I love fall and winter and how they enforce you to slow down a bit...
