Do you know what he’s telling you? The longer black end is the front of the Woolly Bear. So, get ready…
Here in New England it is still a holiday. My Mom reminded me that it is not a three day weekend everywhere. But here, Columbus is celebrated, maybe the Italian and Portuguese influence, whatever. I can’t remember a more glorious Columbus weekend. We have had a full harvest moon, with clear and as starry a sky as a full moon allows. There have been crisp cold hard frosty mornings with fires in the stove and bright sunny blue skied days. Perfect. The smell of wood smoke is in the air.
There has been knitting and dyeing and working in the shop. Spinning, too. The raspberries have been thinned out, this years canes cut away and ready to be burned. Nearly all of the apples are put up as sauce or pared for pies. I’ve been busy. The dye pot is hot, so I’m off. Pictures of the knitting, tomorrow. I promise.

Still no frost here yet.
No frost yet down “south”, in lower Fairfield County, Connecticut. Later this week, for sure! Great pictures.
Your pictures make frost look inviting.
I have no idea what that wooly worm is trying to tell me… you’ll have to translate. We’ve had a beautiful Columbus day weekend as well, though warmer I think than yours.
Yay! Fall! Your pics are great. I hope Mr. Woolly Bear moves fast 😉 We’re getting some of that cold front by week’s end. It’s going way down to 70 degrees…joy Can’t wait to see what you’re working on. Food pics are appreciated too!
We found a woolly bear yesterday at Corgifest in Spencer, MA. Just one. Not like the year I took Roisin for a walk by the canal in Uxbridge and we found 26 of them in 1-1/4 miles. 26!!!!!! Needless to say, that was a bit of a rough winter. Hubby says that’s a load of hooey, about winter and those caterpillars, but I would disagree. So, are you guys heading south before you get snowed in or what? I’ll miss you at Su’s tomorrow night due to a choir practice, but should be there the following week and hope to see you then. And looks like this year I am actually going to be able to visit Rhinebeck! It’s been a few years, so I’m really looking forward to it, this time with an eye to fibers and drop spindles…
Love the pics and especially seeing that wooly bear. I haven’t seen one in awhile.
Frost already!
