Last Day

Tomorrow is the first day of fall, so it's time to say good-bye to summer. As always, I will miss you.

I love summer because it was always the only time of true freedom for me as a young kid. School closed for months. I could spend all day away from the house, riding my bike around town, reading for hours at the library, or playing at the park with my friends. I didn't have to deal with my family much at all; I wasn't required to do anything but come home before dark.

I haven't felt the change in the air yet, but that will come soon. So will sweater weather and all the pre-holiday reminders that Thanksgiving and Christmas are on the way. Things will be quiet again this year, with just me and my guy celebrating. We'll still have fun.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
