Balancing the Chill and Enjoying the Colors.


Hello and happy fall!
The leaves are the warmest colors and driving amongst them on these winding upstate roads feels like being in a novel...which is great for inspiring creativity!... more writing, play Scribbly, my guitar, sculpting and making soup and other random things I am excited to wake up to.






Soups, baking veggies and breads, mulling ciders.... the coziness of it all a good balance to keep the chill at bay. One of my new projects is providing that while giving my furries a place to warm spot crash... I quilted old sweaters onto a flannel sheet... the warmest blanket ever :o) !

Yippeeeeeee, I am now scouring thrift stores and friends 'to donate piles' for discarded wool sweaters.... what a great project to work on while listening to my favorite radio shows. Okay, off to walk Sadie-istic and draw the trees as they shed there colors to crunch under wandering feets.

Chasing away the chill


Hello there!
Its chilly this morn, the last Fog and Thistle CSA share was last Tuesday and being curled with my dog in flannel pjs under wool blankets was not too warm last night...
Oh yeah,and it's dark by 6:30... eek winter is almost here. The yummy part is chasing away the chill with root vegtable soups and baked stuffs.
Why am I surprised each year when the chill hits? It is NY after all. -C
