A PEEK OF AUTUMN IN MY WEEK

There is no season in all the year
so beautiful, so radiant with glory,
as the early autumn. There is no
time when the human soul drinks
in so fully the glory and beauty of
nature

The temperatures are still pushing
close to 90 degrees, but there has
been a shift in the humidity and
one morning I even saw 67 degrees.

The leaves are starting to fall, the
golden rod is starting to bloom,
and I know this because my allergies
are going crazy and I spend quite
a bit of time sneezing.

I don't think I will collect the
first pecan from my trees because
the squirrels have already eaten
most of them, along with all the
pine cones !?! Signs of a cold
winter coming?

I've made pear cake this week,
I used this recipe and substituted
pears for the apples, and there
has been a never empty egg plate,
that is one way to keep my guys
happy and use up some of the
eggs I have been collecting.

My sister send me this to read
because she knows how much
I love Whole Foods. Love it!

After almost completing the
back and even with the help
of a dear friend, I think I am going
to have to frog my Hiker's Waistcoat,
the pattern is just too confusing
for me and I am so frustrated
that I don't want to finish, I
am just over it.
I think my yarn would be
happier being this or maybe
this, I haven't quite decided
yet.

I hope you have a very pleasant
weekend, I have plans to walk 
on the beach and listen to the
waves crash on shore, it's been
a few weeks and my soul feels it.

Love,
Tracey
