Real Fall is a good month and a half away, but yesterday the air was cool, so let’s allow ourselves the Fall Preview.
Socks! I finished the pair. The toes are quite messed up, and I think they really would fit Eva better, but I love em.
Pickles! The pickles came out tasting like pickles. We made real canned pickles and refrigerator pickles. I like the refrigerator ones better, but I also added extra unnecessary salt the canned ones. You know, for good measure. It’s a bit much
Pulling up carrots! Our garden carrots never really took off, possibly because we never thinned them and due to a gardening miscommunication, radishes were planted directly on top of the carrots. Elie pulled up what we had. It’s not bad though—two quarts of baby carrots. Ridiculous.
“Harvesting” the corn! A squirrel planed squirrel corn in our yard and we let it grow. Isn’t it creepy-looking?
Cat fest! Wearing a cat shirt and reading a cat book with a real cat on your lap.

I am loving that catapalooza; a cat shirt, book, and lap cat would have been my childhood idea of a really super afternoon.
I love this blog… I finished my first pair of socks the other day – you have odd toes, I have holey heels.
As for cat-on-lap syndrome, I find he prefers to be beside me while I read, and ON me while I do anything that requires moving my hands – typing on the computer, knitting, handsewing…. you know, generally halting progress, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
That ear of corn sure isn’t a Jersey ear!!
