Autumn Skies

Autumn has come to our corner of the Midwest. Summer's humidity is gone and the air is crisp, fresh, and cool. Today the rain has cleared off, the sun is warm (but not hot), and the sky is that deep blue that looks so unbelievable in travelogue pictures. Folks are starting to use their fireplaces & woodstoves in the evening & you can catch a whiff of sweet woodsmoke when driving through neighborhoods. Walking around campus, most of the oaks are still green, but every fifth or sixth tree has apparently decided to get the jump on its fellows and has started to turn a tentative gold-yellow-brown-red mix. In a few weeks we will have a riot of color, I am sure.

To a knitter, this can mean only one thing:
SCARF WEATHER!!

There's nothing like a denim jacket & a jaunty scarf to make you feel like your favorite season has arrived! :-D
