Potpourri






It's Friday.
Time for a little this and that.
A little randomness.




*
A few coolish mornings here (high 60s) and that means I can get out and walk.
Yippee!
A few walks up to my village and some window shopping.

**

I noticed on my walks that the trees were talking/singing.
The breeze was wonderful and the sound in the leaves -- listen carefully.
Singing!

***

I've been working on Potholders for Christmas.
A Christmas Wreath



Christmas Wreaths

and Christmas Trees.
I have a few more to do.

Christmas Tree


****

Pumpkins are starting to show up at the grocery stores.
I'm starting to think about Pumpkin rolls, Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Soup.
Jack-O-Lanterns

*****
Plans for the weekend:
Football, decorating for Halloween/Autumn, more crochet, some reading
and, of course, playing with the kitties.


Wishing YOU well and much joy!

    You certainly have a good start on Christmas crocheting. I haven't even thought of Christmas yet and I always run out of time... Oh well.

  6. wow, you are ready for Christmas & talking about pumpkins - that is making me giggle.

    i was looking for a pumpkin at one store guess i need to look at another because they only had one size. i wanted something on the smaller size not huge. no wish to cute it up or anything that like, just decorating for fun. ( :

  11. Have a nice walk, Snap. I should do that too. I played golf Tuesday and it was really nice until about noon.

    I like your pot holders. Are a part of the wreath you are making?

    One other, Football. Did you go to the Bayou Bucket? I wish I had.

  14. Cute potholders! This is why I'm no good at decorating, I won't be thinking about Christmas until the middle of December, and then I'll be so busy with the stuff I have to do that I won't have time for fun stuff like pot holder (sigh). Enjoy your weekend!

  17. Snap,
    I like your fall themed header and Christmas Tree pot holders.

    Pumpkin Rolls and Jack-o-Lanterns have crossed my mind too.

    Enjoy your fun sounding weekend.

  18. I just KNEW you'd have potholders . . .Hurray!

    You speak of singing trees. I once lived in a forest. When wind breaths through the pines, i honestly think the sound is the Voice of God.

    Then, snow must be the Whisper . .

    Happy Fall to You!!!

    Have a fun weekend. And enjoy your playtime with kitties. :D

  23. Hi Snap, you are so creative with the knitting/crochet...I can't tell which is which because I'm completely naff at either. These little Christmas treaties look lovely. I miss the songs in the trees; mostly heard at the Thames in OXON where I live part of the year. It's true, wind in the willows is alive and well.

  31. I want your weekend. The trees here are screaming with 60 mile an hour winds, horrendous rain and power outages. Not what I had planned. No gardening this weekend :-0
