20 degrees this morning!! Yep. Friday night the local tv stations ran a banner across the bottom of the screen warning of the hard frost, saying this would end the growing season for the year. Ya think?! Yeah....we in the north country take our freezing seriously.
So I guess it's time to cut down the perennials, empty the planters and put the yard ornaments and lights away. Good bye, Summer. Can't say I'm sorry to see you go.
Anywho, it's been the regular doings around here. Baking a lot more, spinning somewhat and knitting. Though it's been a chore to force myself to get at the last 2. Don't know why. Maybe other things on the brain.
I have got to get pictures posted. Got plans to put a lot of knitted goods up for sale on Etsy. Though I'm not thoroughly convinced. I did open a "shop" 4 years ago. Sold for one season. Now I've been reading comments on the forum; actually, I've been keeping tabs on this site for all these years. Don't like the fact that there are so many problems encountered by the sellers. And it takes so long for them to get resolved. But then a new crop of problems pop up. And it seems Administration moves at a snail's pace. I don't know. Lots of problems, lots of complaints. Something I seriously do not want to encounter.
So, I'm considering other options. But time is flying by. And I sell only for the Christmas season. We'll see.
I did order a sewer's dress mannequin last week. It should be here sometime this week. It sure will help display the sweaters, shawls and vest I want to sell. It'll definitely be better than trying to get good pictures laying these things out on the floor or the bed. Never works well.
Today is lasagna for supper with cheese cake for dessert. Both of these are very time consuming. I gotta get at it.
Hope you all are getting ready to hanker down. "Got yarn??"
crafting on: bunty mitts and wee hats

Brrrrrrrr. I am not ready! I am enjoying our 40 degree nights and 65 degree days. I want to do a complete cleaning before the holidays but the canning is still keeping me tied to the stove. Oh well when it does snow I can clean and will have lots of food to eat. Lets hope it works out that way! Stay warm and have a great weekend!
maybe you should be knitting up a huge wool throw to snuggle into...
Isn't there an autumn in MN?
Lol!! Yeh, you're right, Rani....maybe a knitted sleeping bag??
Arlene,here in MN, it's not uncommon to skip a season, no matter which one. This year just maybe no Autumn! hehehehe.
I'll have a slice of both the lasagna and cheesecake please!!!
and 20 degrees huh? I wont see that kind of weather here for another 4 months at best. And then it will only be for a couple of days. I dont like it that cold but it would be a nice change from the heat we are having here.

Happy, happy Birthday yesterday, Oct 1st.
