Labor Day

Fall is here.  

The high temp reached 67° today, after being in the 90°s last week.

We had our third annual Labor Day "If Mama ain't going' anywhere for the holiday weekend, we're ALL gonna go for a run" 5K.

I had some good-natured resistance on the part of the seventeen year old, but we all made a go of it.

I'm quite slow, as I'm rehabbing a torn meniscus, so I ran the opposite direction of the loop.  That way I managed to get a picture of the two of them headed my direction.

School starts tomorrow.

Let the fall truly begin.

Back on the Horse

Well, that was a dandy break, wasn't it?  Summer just galloped away...

I'll just climb back on this horse and ride 'er into the fall.

Cooler temps today (it's been in the 90s for a solid week) made me feel like playing with fiber again.

I had these shawls to block.

Well, Color Affection turned out to be 80 inches wide.  Where the heck do you block something of that size?

On the clothes line, of course. It worked surprisingly well. 

(Please ignore the towels.)

Boulder 3S shawl

I started this one while taking an intensive weekend seminar in Boulder Colorado this summer.  It was great mindless knitting.

Corrina Shawl

Part of a summer knitalong, finished while we were on vacation in Colorado in July.

Finished object photos to come this week.

Happy Fall to everyone in the Midwest!

Three shawls

in need of blocking

It is way more fun to knit than it is to block...

Dilly Beans

Seven pints of delicious garlic jalapeño dilly beans.  

Tomato season!

Our first homegrown tomato of the year has ripened!

From the Wall of Tomato.

Yeah, it's a grape tomato.

And there's only one so far.

We let Paul eat it all by himself, rather than splitting it amongst the three of us.

Cuz that's how we roll.
