Unintentional Missing In Action
I honestly don’t know where the time has gone these last few months. It seems like so long ago we were on the beaches of Connecticut but just the other day a dear friend was getting married in Connecticut and another a few weeks later in Kansas. September flew by but with lovely mild weather and now we’re enjoying the amazing colors of fall. We recently made a trip to the local cider mill, going through the corn maze and enjoying fresh cider. Mmm.
A few weeks ago there was the threat of frost so we madly picked every tomato on the vines. The milder weather in September definitely made up for the lack of tomatoes in August. We filled two large bags full of tomatoes and peppers. Then it didn’t freeze. Fortunately, the tomatoes have continued to grow and we’re still ripening tomatoes on the window sill. We’ve been more blessed with tomatoes than we ever thought we would be considering what a hot and dry summer we had.
In addition to tomatoes, the flowers in the gardens have continued to bloom with red, pink and orange flowers. It’s so lovely to come home to red gerbera daisies still blooming in the front and a swath of pink and orange in the back. Many of the orange cosmos that continue to bloom are self-seeded plants from two plants I planted in May.
Lately, I’ve been hoping that the reading of knitting blogs and the cooler weather will inspire me to knit but I haven’t had the knitting itch yet. Meanwhile, Bryan’s mittens from last winter just lack thumbs. He’s been kindly reminding me that he’ll need them when it gets cold.
Kundalini yoga has become my favorite form of relaxation and I’ve found myself doing it when I’m exhausted after work. I’ve noticed such a difference in my energy levels since I started the yoga practice-five, six and sometimes seven days a week.
I hope you’re all having a lovely fall and taking in all of the beautiful changes happening around us. I don’t remember the last time I so loved fall.
