there is something about a sunflower

...that I simply cannot resist. It is a little surprising because I don't remember being particularly drawn to them earlier in life, but now, I love them. And I love to photograph them.

I went with my mom to pick up their dogs from the groomer last week. Behind the store there is this wonderful little pathway, hidden from the surrounding city. Upon their release from what may as well be doggie prison, we walked "the girls" (as they are known) down the path. And I saw these. It was like some unseen force pulled me to them and required a few pictures before releasing its hold on me. This second one is my new desktop on the computer.

I do (however vaguely) remember that this is supposed to be a knitting (and at the very least, crafting) blog so I will try to get some of that up here soon. I have made a little lion and am working on a lamb. I am also knitting slippers as well as crocheting an afghan for my oldest daughter. I've decided to make one for each of them, starting with my little bird.

autumn pictures

These were taken in front of my parents' home, the house in which I grew up. When I leave their neighborhood each time, I sigh. What can I say? It still feels like it's my home too.

some things I like this time of year


colorful autumn leaves
pumpkins
apple cider and chili
glazed donuts
crisp air
leisurely bike rides
or walks
the world, settling down
to rest
