Did September even happen? Time is slipping by so fast, and it seems like I wake up each morning surprised by how quickly the day/week/month has gone by.
Regardless, we have entered my favorite month because it is filled with pumpkins, cranberry flavored everything, leaves changing, cool breezes (but NOT cold!), golden twilight hour sunsets and the anniversary of my marriage to Scotty B.
We've already purchased our first gallon of locally-made apple cider of the season, though until this week it's been too warm out to really enjoy drinking it. My brain is still in "nectarines on ice cream" mode. A few nights ago we had acorn squash stuffed with apples and raisins for dinner - it was like eating apple pie for a meal. I am not a fan of squash at all, but the lady that helms the CSA program at our grocery store told me how to fix them, and we conveniently got acorn squash AND apples in our CSA bag last week, so we made it and now I'm looking forward to doing it again.
Next Tuesday Scott and I will celebrate 7 years of marriage. Well, I'll celebrate, he'll probably congratulate himself on having the strength to stick with me this long, as I am not easy to be married to. At least, I assume I'm not, from the rolling of eyes and furrowing of brows I get on a daily basis. =) Scott is a wonderful, amazing person, and I am so happy to be married to my best friend.
Now that we've all thrown up in our mouths a little, I'm off to eat my baked potato while watching Pushing Daisies, and then follow it up with a handful of pumpkin spice Hershey's Kisses, which are heaven. And I suppose I will knit, because it's that time of year where my hands start craving the yarn and needles. And because I have an auction that I must donate two scarves to - one of which is finished, and the other is about 1/3 of the way through. I gotta knit as fast and as hard-core as I can before I get burnt out for the season, which will probably be next week.
