Chill in the Air

 I can’t believe how cool it has been in New Brunswick! Perhaps that is what has stirred some of my current activities.

There’s been an Early Primitive Homestead candle burning on the tabletop—emitting the scent of gingerbread.

My thoughts have turned to my Fall schedule which includes planning for our rug hooking group to meet face to face once more. 

I even prepped some cabbage to make sauerkraut.

 

 

(The rocks have been boiled to sanitize- and I ended up putting a layer of plastic wrap under them to ensure better fermentation. )

Now we wait and see..

Cooler weather also means I’m more likely to hook. I started this piece by Woolen Memories:

And here are pics of other  purchases I made on my trip. 

All were bought in Lancaster Co., Pa, save the delightful George Washington tribute cross stitch which came from Strasburg Emporium in my hometown of Strasburg, Virginia. 

This is “the long weekend,” a term used up here for holidays which include a Friday or Monday off. Monday is New Brunswick Day.

 We will celebrate with a walk to the nearby cidery to hear a friend perform old NB folk tunes. 

Many are taking this opportunity to leave the province as the covid mandates have lifted, but we’ve been away for a long time and will dog sit for a friend.

All these thoughts of Fall will soon disappear as the sun heats the region with summer once more. 

Hoping you embrace whatever weather you’re given today.
