Yesterday's mail brought an excellent package....a package that contained hand-knit pink socks from Cookie. Superb timing, friend. They fit purrfectly. (That's Black Dot in the background.) I love the color and the cables. You can find out more about these socks over here. Thank you, Cookie!
We are starting to see signs of fall. This week, our honey locust started to color to yellow and dropped a few leaves. I startled a turkey walking down to my vegetable garden Friday. There have been a few cool nights but the last few days have been humid so the A/C has been on.
Another sign of fall: hay mulch, grass seed, and the sprinklers. All the digging has been dug and now is time to see if we can have a lawn again. The painting was completed this morning. Next up is flooring for the addition, some more plumbing (as you may be able to see from our patio *art*) and electrical work, and a bunch of trim and wood working.
I'd call it patio furniture. A girl needs a place to sit and knit, after all. :-D

Nice socks!
We don't have wild turkeys here but the squirrels have been out in numbers and we've had a few rodents made their way indoors but the cat has managed to redirect them so far.

Maybe next time I'll get the note into the package before I tape it shut. /sigh
I am so glad you like the socks. I love that pattern and love how it shows up in your photos. May I use one for my gallery? Please?
Good luck with the lawn and the plumbers! When does the pole go in? :D

Such a wonderful surprise in the mail! We don't have turkeys either, but the squirrels eat all our walnuts and hazelnuts and leave us the shells to rake up.

What a perfect mail day! Handknit socks and they are gorgeous. Yeah Cookie! That renovation seems to be going so quickly. Signs of fall are happening in drips & drabs in NJ too. I love the fall.
