Fall photos taken recently in Mahone Bay where I go each Friday morning to get bread from the French organic bakery for the week. And the occasional treat, chocolate croissant anyone? This was the view from the market's location throughout the summer. Now the bakery will move indoors for the winter, to the Biscuit Eater Cafe--what could be better than that, I can get all the essentials at one stop.
Down with a bacterial infection this weekend so haven't been having any fun, haven't been to the B.E., or even had coffee for that matter. Mostly I've been curled up on the sofa knitting a top down cardigan from handspun. Just got the Japanese Sukori vest out of exile so I can finish that up over the next couple of days. Fiddlesticks shawl pattern nearly done, only 5 more rows, but as friend Cindy said, that's 2000 stitches. Not sure I wanted to know that. The cooler weather inspires me to finish projects faster than summer humidity does which is good considering how high the current UFO count is (unfinished objects). I'll post pictures as I get things blocked and ready to wear.
No spinning this weekend either, haven't been able to sit upright never mind move anything other than knitting needles. Ah well, there's always next weekend isn't there?
So Thursday I managed to do two 'smiley face' events, one of which got me written up in the Halifax paper. Very pleased with my wee speech and considering the state of misery I was in at the time, I'm impressed I stayed upright--though I won't make any claims for coherence for anything I said that wasn't in writing.
I'm to begin working full time tomorrow, but hey, I'll start that with a sick day, I'm sure I've earned one by now, even working part time. Still too wobbly to attempt anything much, and then I need a nap.
I thought this was a particularly lovely fall shot; from the farmers market up the hill where I buy strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, potatoes, onions, cukes and all the other usual farm produce. Great place to shop from June through December.
