Like I said, it's really something special this year. What I really like is how long the season is here. The leaves really got (noticeably) underway on the first day of autumn, September 22. Here we are 3 1/2 weeks later and they're still not quite at peak yet. It's so nice after living in an area where the leaves changed, dried and fell all within a week or so.
If you're in the neighborhood this weekend, the annual Sheep & Wool Festival will be held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck. I will be spending my "extra" paycheck there on Sunday. Hoping for some cashmerino fiber to spin into something yummy. Scarf and hat season are on their way, perfect for my short attention span. Although work still continues on my king-sized afghan. I'm starting the third winter season on this ginormous granny square for our ginormous bed. That's a whole lotta granny square. If I had know what I was getting into, I may have reconsidered that plan. But now I'm too far in to stop, so I labor on. I've tried to tell The Tall Guy that it's not so unusual for a large project to take several years, but he just shakes his head at me.
Non-crafters. Can't live with 'em...
