I found this handy site for Made in USA products and toys. Hopefully this will make coming holidays safer for the kids. And..finished the autumn scarf, altho I have tons of ends to weave in and I think a navy border in crochet will look nice. Pics when I get time here. I'm so loving yardwork in this beautiful weather that I don't want to come in and do anything else!
The big hedges under my front windows are on my list to remove and replace with hydrangeas in the Spring, however I can't take them out until the seasonal dreamweavers are done with their brief appearance. There's two that have anchored intricate webbing to the branches.
Tell me they're "just spiders"...but they're special little creatures to us, so we will wait a little while on the hedges.

I've been happily basking in the early autumn sunshine and doodling with yarn. Out of the recent purchases, I had 3 balls of RH soft just to see if it really was soft..it is! So I put the three colors together in the way they seemed to want to be..Tangerine, Paprika and a bit of Caron SS in Navy.

No idea why my burgundy chair appears purple or why that pic washed out.

But it's coming along and fun!

The end of summer..those special days when the season hangs between rich, bright autumn and the sweet smell of hay. Grasshoppers sing their vespers and wild muscadines drop to the ground laden with sunshine and sweetness. I feel the changing season whispering to the trees and it's the most poignant time of year, like dandilion wine and remembrance. And each year, the dreamweavers visit to draw magical designs and to record the year in silken symbols.
