I uploaded photos from my camera this morning and noticed a theme.
From the top: an impromptu lunch of slaw tartare with red cabbage from the farm, safety pins to keep my favorite jeans modest enough to wear out of the house, and the very pink beginnings of the second bobbin of the Winter Storage colorway [...]

It was a quiet Friday, spent trying to catch up with the week: lots of list-making and stock-taking, but also a longer walk to the reservoir with Boh to clear my head and stretch his (okay, our) legs.
It was a proper eve of Halloween — the sky was grey, the wind, howling, and the familiar [...]

220 yards of squishy 2-ply worsted weight yarn, from 4 oz. of Southern Cross Fibres polwarth in the Boogie Wonderland colorway. I’m low on natural light this morning, so the colors in these photos are a little bit off. The actual color of this skein is somewhere in between the olive and forest green in [...]

(Not cattle. More like leaves, branches, half-thoughts, glimpses of moments past.)
This is one of my favorite paths to wander along, as those of you who’ve been reading for the summer, even the last year, are well aware.
The wind in the beech trees, the water pouring over the spillway, even the distinctive vibration from the trucks [...]

Two skeins of handspun Crown Mountain Farms brown bfl! This second skein (on the left) is 166 yards of 3-ply. I decided to use the bobbins from the first skein, and two of them still had a bit of yarn leftover from the first round of plying, so I divided these three ounces to account [...]

You know, the opposite of work. (Both are occurring this weekend, but the not-work is more fun to photograph.)
Boh likes to “hide” behind or underneath the blanket on my bed. He also likes to chew on it, or pretend to chew on it, as a way of getting my attention.
I see you.
Slow-roasted tomatoes and raspberry [...]

(Note the pile of knitting projects in this particular corner.)
I never get tired of taking pictures of this dog while he sleeps, which is a good thing: he seems to be napping 90% of the time.
I started working on the first ply of the second skein of my Crown Mountain Farms brown bfl. This is [...]

My sense of humor is returning, which makes me hopeful that I’ll be back to my usual (healthy) self today. A few weekends ago, I was having a conversation with my officemate about The Offspring. (He LOVED them, and even seemed a bit nostalgic for the days when they were on the radio all the [...]
