The Leaves That Were

A lesson I learned this passing foliage season: grab it now as it will not be here tomorrow.  So this year I will concentrate on the pleasure of the fields of leaves instead:

I so enjoy walking in the leaves

I enjoy so much walking in the leaves

So nice, waling in all those leaves

Pretending not to play with them

They make this lovely cruncing noise

Or enjoy the lovely crunchy noise they make

The dry leaves swirl so nicely

Those dry leaves swirl so nicely

You better be careful on those leafy slopes

You better be careful on those leafy slopes

And some of them end up in lovely places

And some of the leaves end up in lovely places

And some of them end up in lovely places

I find the bare trees striking

A few red things decorating the yellow rug scenery

And we managed to find a few red things still decorating the yellow rug scenery


My Through The Loops Mystery Socks 2009

Last night I finished my Through the Loops Mystery socks 2009:

Lovely heel, don't you think?

Lovely heel, don't you think?

The weather was not very photo friendly but we did manage to capture the lovely heel detail.

I really enjoyed knitting these socks and I may knit this pattern again soon. If I will, I think I will add a few pattern repeats to the leg as I prefer my socks a bit longer.

I think I like side look of these socks!
