\"ScannedImage\"<\/a>Somehow September always seems to run me around in circles. It seems to be a month that leaves me a little anxious, almost feeling like I am hyperventilating.
\nIt maybe all the family birthdays; my husband, his brother, his sister, my dad, my sister\u2026all within a week, and then the anniversaries; my parents, my in-laws, my aunts, and then my sister is planning her wedding for September of 2015. None of that even includes holidays for long time friends\u2026only family.
\nMaybe it is the change of season. Being in Northern California I am very happy that this last week has a feeling of fall; it helped to increase the containment of a large wildfire in my community (at least it was not a threat to my home, but I had many friends evacuated for several days, some for nearly two weeks), and seeing some rain makes us all hopeful that our drought may ease. However fall also brings the harvest of our small farm. I am not even sure how many pounds of pears I gave away this year, probably close to 50, I know that I used the dehydrator and dried nearly 140 pears, which my family has nearly consumed all of. I harvest many seedless grapes, and actually made raisins this year\u2026about 10 pounds after they were dried. I still have to make some jelly from the seeded grapes, but that is in the next couple of weeks. \"MP900384696\"<\/a>
\nIt could also be the births and deaths, and tragedies in my local community, I know they are there all the time, but for some reason they seem amplified in September. None of them affected me closely, but it affected people in my life. Or it could me the annual remembrance of \u201cwhere were you when\u201d , those moments that make you realize that a year has already passed and you are not sure where it went.
\nSo my days were spent settling into the routine of the school year for the kids, accomplishing the things needed for the household, and then not to be over looked\u2026.CROCHET! I have spent each and every day with my fingers dancing over stitches and my mind flying over new and possible combinations and ways to use a technique. I plan on getting some of them written down and posted soon, but in all my time writing has taken a sideline. Since October is almost here, I can already feel a change, a calming. This should allow me to regroup and share more of the thoughts that I find in my world of hooking, here is to hoping that October brings cool weather, rain, and calmer seas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
