The cats assumed their travel positions and we drove north. It looks as if this year’s autumn show will
be a dud for the leaf peepers. The colors just aren’t there. There is almost a line of demarcation half
way up the mountains. Everything above
is leafless already; below.. gold, rusts to brown. My color forecast was completely wrong, I
thought it would be a splendid show of color this year. Experts say TOO much rain; in past years the lack luster color was due
to too little rain. None the less, the
frost has held off here on my hill. Everywhere below, my neighbors have been hit. This is the small bonus I
get from sitting high, my frost comes later. In return, I give up nearly 10 degrees on any given day, in any season. My snow melts weeks later. My daffodils are just peeking up while ½ mile
away they bloom profusely. You live in Glacier
Bay, my neighbors joke. But, my beans are still coming. The Turtlehead and a few lilies still bloom. It is the height of autumn.
The days are perfect for dyeing. I’m into fall colors in spite of the poor
showing. I’ll post some as soon as they
dry. Here’s a peek.
autumn (sold, sorry)

I’m not that fond of good but the Aztec Gold is just breathtaking!
Oooh . . . so pretty!! I just adore autumn colors…. That Aztec Gold is GORGEOUS!
Darn. I was hoping my lack of seeing the colors was just my imagination. I, too, had it all wrong for this year, and I was really hoping Margene would get a breathtaking show.
Too bad about the colors up your way. I think that they are still going to be pretty good here :-).
Interesting. The Aztec Gold reminds me of my daylily of the same name! And, one of my gold daylilies is still blooming.
The skein colors are awesome! I think fall is here too. We’ve gone from a brilliant green to a slightly less brilliant green and temps are way down in the lower 80s…Oh joy.
Beautiful yarns.
