Well I've been busy to say the least. I've neglected this blog, my laundry, my weed problem in the garden and my crafting. That being said I have traveled quite a bit this summer, spent time with friends and family whom I miss very much. I even managed to make it home to Chicago to see my 97 yr old hoot of a grandma who recently underwent a major surgery, and for a while there had us pretty scared, but seems to be recovering physically at least. I was so glad to be able to spend time with her and the rest of my family. I did knit while I was at home and will have photos to share next week. However, that feeling of panic returned to me when I came back from Chicago and realized all the veggies and fruit that awaited me. So I have been chained to the kitchen, processing pound after pound of peaches, pears, apples, carrots, tomatoes...you get the idea...... I both love and despise this time of year, but such is life. Fall seems to be literally falling on me and I can't seem to find time to breathe and enjoy this fabulous Indian Summer we are hosting. This weekend B and I will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary in New Mexico. It was actually the 1st of Oct. but we decided to treat ourselves to a miny vay-cay down to Las Cruces to see 2 of our great friends get married, and visit with a friend from my days in Texas. I can't wait. It is a much needed break of hiking, warm weather, friends, joy and wine! And then I will be back. Hoping that no one has forgotten me in my absence. I;ll have photos of gourd work, jewelry and knitting but for now I leave you with a sunflower unfurling in my garden from last month. Here's hoping I can unfurl from this business and stretch my petals towards the sun soon!
Cheers!
SJ
