What a perfectly lovely fall day... and in mid-November. We still have color on the trees, but it won't last; had a good frost the other night, and it keeps getting colder and colder when the sun dips down, usually before 5. A pretty neat weather event blew through Wednesday while I was at a photoshoot at the Hermitage; sunny, close to 70, tank top weather until 2, and then it started raining sideways, wind a-blowing, and hail even in parts of town. And the temp dropped fast. Oh well, you can get this from the Weather Channel, but I do love a good storm.
Today a little handmade crafts fair was on my agenda. Purportedly I went to buy some early Christmas gifts; more likely I ended up getting myself a lot of little selfish treats. I'd post pictures of the lovely items, but my philanthropic side might resurface and I might actually give things away. 40% chance there. Their Etsy sites don't do their crafts justice; so neat and fun to hold things close up and try them on. It was great meeting the artists, too, especially Beth Howard, whose sewing and projects blog is listed on my faves sidebar. She's just as nice as she seems in her blog; thanks to Kerri for finding her online and tipping me, all the way across the country!
Hard to believe it's Thanksgiving time. This year has sped by, as years tend to do, and days and hours do as well. But who can complain when the seasons change, leaves fall, fireplaces crank up, and Christmas trees are decorated? Today my heart is grateful for a quiet mid-November day.
