Ontario Irresistible Products

Yesterday we went apple picking:

Hmmm,,, so yummy!

Hmmm,,, so yummy!

And after filling the bag and having as many apples as we can possibly need, I realised those beauties:

Just irresistible, I just couldn't leave this one on the tree

So irresistible, I just couldn't leave this one on the tree


Is this the perfect one?

Is this the perfect one?

are as irresistible as some other Ontario product we all know and love:

Oh Koigu how much I love thee!

Oh Koigu how much I love thee!

So now I have an apple stash almost as big as my yarn stash!

Please send any good apple recipe you think is worthy of these beauties, thank you.

And if you want to see what those apples made me do, you can find more photos on my flickr page.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Seasons

The fall is here and I am so happy:

Beautiful turning leaves all around our morning walking route

Will you believe it is the first time in my life I live in a place with real seasons?

Nature at work!

Nature at work - Isn't it one talented dyer? :)

No wonder it makes me so happy.

I finished my Maplewing yesterday morning, now I need to block it and for that I need wires and I forgot mine in Arizona (shame on me!)
Does anyone know where I can find blocking wires in Toronto?

I am now working on finishing my shawl that jazz as I think I will need it quite soon around here, YAY.

Anyone knows what these are?

Who Knows These Berries

So, this morning we took the camera and headed to the berries spot on our ravine walkway and now I need your help.

Jocelyn? anyone?  do you know these berries?

Lovely little berries on the bush

At first we had this:

At first we didn't fine many ripe ones

At first we didn't find many ripe ones

But as we went along the walkway and paid close attention to both sides, we found:

What do you think of our plate?

and also this:

Berales are all over the ravine these days

Berales* are all over the ravine these days


We ended up with this:

Quite a few berries and on such lovely plates!

Quite a few berries and on such lovely plates!

There are quite a few red ones still on the bushes out there. The question of course is who will get to them first when they are all ripe and ready to eat. Please cross your fingers for us when you are not knitting!

And the no photos knitting continues, I am almost at the toes of the first sock of the second pair! they sure go fast with a heavier yarn.

* Berale – a nickname of a snail in Hebrew, based on a children book.
