I'm Nesting

Now that the clocks have been turned back so it's getting dark at 5 PM and with the fact that it's a cool 36 degrees out, I've been in kind of a nesting mood today. I've been checking out some homesteading/gardening blogs and finding new comfort food recipes. And thoughts of giving my spinningwheel a dusting off and picking up the knitting needles once again have crossed my brain.  I always get this way when the air gets colder. However the temperature is supposed to reach into the sixties on Sunday so my nesting mindset may be delayed a bit longer. Let's hope so.

The following pictures I took on my neighborhood walk a couple of weeks ago when the leaves had turned and were still on the trees...not so now.

The end of an adjacent road. I never noticed that house up the hill on the right hand side of the picture before.

Looking down the road in front of our home.

Yes, I've Been Procrastinating.

Wow, it's been almost a month since my last post. It's not that I don't have anything to post just that I've been lax about it. There you have it, I've let everything else distract me. Okay, I've just been lazy. Now that I've confessed let's get back to my post.

Whew! That nasty Noreaster just missed us. No snow here, Not one flake! I'm thankful and I do sympathize with those affected. I read there was 31 inches in one locality. My friend in Virginia told me yesterday that they got six inches but that it was already melting. the weather here will be in the fifties this week. Perfect for putting the garden to bed for the winter.

I went to a local orchard to pick apples about three weeks ago. The apples were awesome this year. On the way home I made sure take pictures of the fall colors.

In my next post I will be sharing lots of photos of my visit to a local quilt show.
