(Okay, so who knows if pumpkins really grow in Hell. I just had to include that somewhere in the title.)
It's fall here in this city and the weather has turned, along with the leaves. It's true that I hate the cold weather, but I'd forgotten just how nice the season can be. The air gets a little chilly - enough to pull out the heavier sweaters and long pants. But, it's not winter jacket weather yet. Fall also marks the approach of my all-time favorite holiday. Halloween!!!
One of my top favorite things about Autumn is pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin carving, pumpkin scented candles, and the ever-so-irresistable Starbucks pumpkin spice latte. I have a powerful urge to run to the store and find ingredients to bake something pumpkiney with. Maybe something with raisins and molasses. Mmmm. Cloves, nutmeg...
Autumn is also time to break out the knitting needles. I'm most of the way through an orange, yellow and brown scarf for the bf. Mom put in her request and I'm making her a dragon scarf next. The kit just came in the mail over the weekend and I was purusing the instructions over dinner tonight. I can't really figure out how all the pieces join up, but I'm sure I'll get it once I start working. After that, I've got a hat for the bf that I need to make. Forget all the Xmas gifts I need to start on. Sometimes I wish I could just quit my job and make things all day long. As independent as I am, and as much as I champion the women's rights cause, I can't help but think it would be nice to have a guy pay all the bills while I stay home and do my thing.
Oh shit....I forgot to pick up my damn meds again! Looks like I'll have to cut this short.
