knitting a life

This weekend it has started to feel like fall around here; there have been a series of rainy days and the air is cool, even when the sun shines.

The changing season and the start of a new school year remind me of my own good fortune as I get ready to return to work in times that are so difficult for so many.

In the garden the end of summer is apparent as well.  Peppers are ripening,

and so are the tomatillos.

The herbs continue to grow as well, with sage,

thyme,

and sorrel still green and fresh.

Some of the plants are still flowering, including peppers,

cucumbers,

chives,

and eggplants.

We’ll have to see how far they get before the first frost.
