autumn retreat in pictures

henry, catching some late afternoon rays.
the "bracken" hat was finished.
the sky was just one night shy of the hunter's moon  last night.
i've grown to love our funky little kitchen...
...where we made applesauce with fruit from our very own, 
well tended trees.
progress was made on the "scrappy tote",
all 194 stitches for the cardigan were cast on,
and it's been growing ever since, slowly but surely.

we walked on the road,
ate local, organic food,
hosted some friends from both far away and near,
schemed with my cousin (more later!),
did reading for an upcoming board meeting,
bought end of season plants for 50% off,
went on field trips,
did yard work,
were stunned anew by the determination and resilience
of the great people of the state of vermont.
well, you get the picture...

props at bread and puppet circus

we are blessed to have our "bit of earth"
to melt into every once in a while.

  4. Gorgeous, evocative pictures as usual. Henry is, I must say, quite the model.

  5. Sounds lovely. Makes me a lil homesick! Very sad still that I'm missing fall, although it has been absolute warm sunny perfection here.
