Savoring September

It seems that all year I yearn for the glory days of September and then they fly by all too quickly. As usual, there is a lot going on around the Ulrich home, including fun new knit design ventures, a guest blog post, a review and a free pattern giveaway! In anticipation of the new season I'm pulling out lots of new ideas and yarn for my next projects and I can't wait to share them with you.

I hope you enjoy the beauty of this month and savor the sweetness of lingering summer days followed by the promise of cool autumn evenings. Thanks for stopping by today, peace, blessings and happy stitching to you my friends!

"By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer."
 

-   Helen Hunt Jackson, September, 1830-1885 

Golden Autumn

 Leaves

How silently they tumble down and come to rest upon the ground

to lay a carpet, rich and rare, beneath the trees without a care,

content to sleep, their work well done, colours gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly until they nearly reach the sky.

Twisting, turning through the air till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below to wait, like children, for…winter.

Elsie Brady - Scottish poet
