So it has been awhile. Right after I started this blog, I got sick and promptly forgot about it. I've since started a few entries but I was waiting on some pictures to include. Mine are only cell phone pictures and not very good but the others have yet to materialize and I thought I'd go ahead an update anyhow, before a full month passed.

Erin and I finally went apple-picking and while it was fun, the place didn't have a great selection and we mostly stuck to one type. They were all eaten up before we had the chance to do very much with them but I did make some apple muffins and apple chips. The muffins were a bit crumbly, but delicious, and the apple chips weren't baked long enough but the thinner pieces were perfect. I'm learning! The cider press is still in my living room, waiting to be used, but I have to pick up some more apples and cheesecloth.

Fall is absolutely my favorite season and I've been enjoying it so much. I love cold weather and bundling up and wearing hoodies all the time. I like to crunch leaves when I'm walking (although there hasn't been a whole lot of that as it's been raining quite a bit) and it always smells good outside and Fall means Halloween and Thanksgiving. Plus it's pomegranate season and I don't know what more I could ask for.

I'm going to be a sad girl when it's over.

Oh, I forgot. I finished this last week:

It's an entry from Sylvia Plath's journal. I was originally basing it off of a stencil painting I saw but I couldn't find any stencils that I liked so I ended up free-handing it. It's messy and there are quite a few mistakes (the "I" in the beginning is different from the rest) but I like it. Now I just have to hang it up somewhere..
