But that's the way it is here. Around late August and during September, the blackberries ripen in the hiking trials in the hills and everyone's home-grown tomatoes start becoming sweet and juicy. In fact, I harvested a large cup of blackberries from the four large plants behind our large compost receptacle at work and then made everyone blackberry and melon ice-ees. :)
After such a couple clouded over and dreary "summer" months, September looks promising.
And since i didn't start a new semester this past Wednesday like everyone else, I'll really be able to enjoy it.
This past week I've finished knitting another hat and started making my first cowl with a very funky yarn that I picked up on a whim, Old Glory Lumpy Yarn by Charlene.
The colors are blending in such way that remind of Chagall which is pretty awesome. But soon I will start to expand my knitting ability by teaching myself new stitches and techniques. I'm tired of being so-so at this craft. So this day of freedom will consist of coffee. knitting, sun and warmth, the radio, cleaning and some Law and Order Criminal Intent. Hooray for not going to work.
