The weather finally feels right to me...
Sep. 22nd, 2003 08:49 pmIt's really lovely out, kind of cold and blustry.
Theres an extra blanket on my bed that was packed away for months.
I had a hot bath with a heart-shaped rose bath bomb in the hottest water I could stand...and it felt terrific.
It's cool enough to wear the sweater I knitted...and it fits and everything!!!
I can sit for hours and paint and not feel frustrated and sweaty.
I. Love. Fall.
Happy Fall Equinox... Happy Mabon!
(Celtic holidays start the night before, so even though Fall Equinox is tomorrow, Mabon starts tonight.)
And to celebrate, here's a fun fact; Minnesota is one of the greatest apple-producing states in the U.S...but nearly none of the apples leave it's borders. Yes, we eat them all ourselves...
*Munch munch*
*Hides munched apple behind back*
Whuh? I've nod doig nuthig...
*tries to chew discretely*

Date: 2003-09-22 07:27 pm (UTC)Awww, shucks, ma'am...*blushes* It probably helped I kept holding it up to various chest and body bits to make sure the measurements fit okay.
Someday I'll have to make a sweate for someone else and I'll get really nervous:)

Re: apples
Date: 2003-09-22 09:21 pm (UTC)Is there a chart--or site--somewhere that tells the kinds of apples and whether they're consumed locally or sold across the US? How about the UK?
And I'd also like to know which kinds are grown where. You see--it doesn't take much to amuse me.
Just wave an odd fact in front of me and I'm off and running. Of course, I COULD try Google. Tomorrow--when I've finished my morning appointment.
