I’m still dyeing. The weather has been perfect, cool, great light, and low humidity for drying. If it holds for a few more days, I’ll be in good shape for next weekend.
It was 34F Sunday morning. It felt like a soup day. C thought he saw frost in front of the shop when he went down there, but I don’t think so. The beans were in good shape and I saw no damage anywhere. Usually the ferns will brown up if they get hit. I am about to give up on the idea of red tomatoes this year. Maybe green tomato pickles are in order. Fingers crossed. The past few years we’ve gotten through September without a heavy frost. I actually considered putting flannel sheets on the bed. Imagine that.

Brrrrrr. Send it down here!
Goodness. 34! I’m w/ Laurie. Send it on down!
There’s always fried green tomatoes. Mmm!
I have a recipe for green tomato chutney that I can send your way. Let me know. You can also ripen them on your counter or in a paper bag. I’ll be a disenter here and ask you NOT send the lower temps our way. Trying to hang onto summer by my finger tips 🙂 Lovely skeins there. That cobalty blue one way on the right has caught my eye!
Won’t they redden up eventually if you pull them up by the roots and hang them somewhere dry and cool? It worked for us and we know next to nothing about gardening!
Gorgeous shades! My tomatoes finally turned red and now no one will eat them. I guess I’ll put them up for sauce. I’ll look for you this weekend.
that yarn is divine!
it’s been cool here, but not that cool; mornings in the high 40’s.
I’m with Carole, fried green tomatoes!
Another trick is to pick the green tomatoes, wrap the in newspaper, and place in brown paper bag. They get red 🙂 They aren’t as tasty as sun ripened, but at least they’re not green.
You can feel it in the air here too, nights and mornings are getting crispier. It’s getting dark earlier every day.
Such beautiful colors in your yarns !
Beautiful colors…like the woods.
Hope the weather holds for you!
What fabulous greens! I love how the acid green contrasts with the grey-green… in fact all the colors together remind me of a really well-designed quilt top, for some reason. Beautiful! 🙂
Well, I live in Arizona and I’d love to even consider the idea of flannel sheets. It’s so hot and humid, I can’t remember such a hot summer. I can’t imagine having cool weather in late August,early September. Maybe I should move to cooler country!
That deep navy blue on the right hand side of the picture, can you tell me what weight it is?? how much there is of it?? thanks
