knitting a life

I know it is fall — after all, it’s October 20th and the stores are filled with Halloween candy and other spooky supplies.  The days are getting shorter and the weather is rainy, cloudy and cool more often than sunny and warm.

Despite that, my roses are still blooming (I took these pictures on Sunday, October 18th),

and there are even buds on some of the bushes.

At the same time, the leaves are turning on the trees in the yard.

So you can see why I am confused.
