seeing – sunshine. lots of sunshine this week. and, because of the clear nights, cold finally, so
smelling – crisp, crisp air
hearing – avatar: the last airbender so good!
touching – still re-skeining
tasting – apple muffins a friend brought over
touching: a gigantic swatch for the shirley paden workshop i’m taking this sunday
tasting: white pizza – the first i’ve made
seeing: leaves falling – no freeze yet, although maybe tonight
hearing: people talk about how bad the ad campaigns are this year, but hearing none of the ads themselves
smelling: vinegar from dyeing – these are for church knitting group, so they don’t need to be re-skeined, but also rainbow chard and snapdragon fingering
the slackerly version. we have relatives visiting.
touching: book knits!
hearing: npr. all things considered is a part of my daily routine if i’m around the house. love it. it marks the time when i start moving out of work mode and into dinner planning/cooking mode.
seeing: book knits!
tasting: i finally managed my first loaf of bread of the fall. yay! cold enough weather to bake again.
smelling: basil! a throwback pic from last year… i really need to process it into pesto soon. sadly, i think this will be my only putting up for winter.
tasting: tea – all sorts, herbal, black, green – a lot of my favorite kinds come from here
touching: book knits again! it’s about time. i’m finally feeling back in the swing of things.
seeing: snapdragon and a wee bit of spinning for a project for ebook 2
hearing: librivox mysteries – i’m currently on an anna katherine green binge.
smelling: stinky beans cooking
for jeanne lemlin’s mediterranean white bean salad from Simple Vegetarian Pleasures. i couldn’t find it on-line, so perhaps a recipe and a photo later in the week?
tasting: roasted vegetables – roasted root vegetables, which i serve over kasha, and also this roasted beet salad which i will be taking to a party tonight. is it mean to try to force beets upon people? ;)
smelling: leaf decay (bonus mushroom pic – although i didn’t smell them)
hearing: the drum line from the local high school. they’re good and they regularly march around the block.
seeing: fence building in the backyard – they’ve been there all week
touching/feeling: new hats coming off of the needles for craft fair season
i’ve been wanting to get this blog back to being a bit more personal. it certainly started out having more thrifting and food and other things i do in it. and let me tell you, i always want to talk about food, but the light’s never good when i have it to photograph. no more excuses! if you’ve been reading a while, you’ll know that ben and i have a sabbath practice… and that because ben works in a church, we celebrate our sabbath on friday. so friday is the perfect day for this practice too – a time to step back from the work of the other 6 days and reflect a bit. my fear, however, is that you’ll still find me the same… i do dye/knit/spin etc full time you know ;)
i pulled this from the lovely fibery shannon, but i believe its origin is elsewhere.

tasting: tabouli! local parsley, garlic, tomatoes (some our own), and onions. if our roommate liked peppers, there would also be local peppers.
smelling: newly dyed wool – as i mention every time, i had to tidy/rework my work space again. this time i have way more shelf space for wool which was very needed due to the new yarn line.
hearing: kittens – i’m waiting for animal friends to call with a date for us to low cost spay/neuter these two. in the meantime, one likes to meow at me from the window sill.
touching/feeling: the september wind
seeing: this show at the warhol
