prepping for fall xo

hello! how was your weekend? ours was full, and a tad emotional :) we said our goodbye's yesterday as my hubby's ship was sailing for two months... only to realize that some tune-ups are needed, and the trip is now delayed by a few days. bonus is that we get to see him, but truthfully, the anticipation of a trip like this is harder, and you just want the count down to start already. also, I think it's pretty confusing for kids... so we'll have to have our (another) tearful goodbye in another day or two...  such is life in the military, I suppose... but we'll be ok.



at any rate... there's something I've been noticing... the geese are practicing in these parts. and you know what that means, right? fall is coming! oh man, I get giddy just thinking about it! even though my fingers are busy knitting away in the summer months, (no matter how hot it gets)... I still yearn to grab for that cozy warm wool for fall and winter knitting. no doubt with back to school excitement, also comes the excitement of bulkier knits, crisp, cool air, and pumpkin spice lattes. oh yum!!!



I, of course, am no exception.... and I had to cast on another project right away. ;) any guesses on what it is?




hope you're having a fantastic day today! xoxo

    It must be very challenging for you and your children when your husband is away for such a chunk of time. You must be a very strong woman.

    I understand completely when you say the countdown to going is the hardest part of your partner leaving. Those few days before the actual departure hold so much pressure to make the most of that little precious time that you have that it often creates stress. On top of that it is SO much harder with little ones. I admire the way you seem to handle a difficult situation in a positive upbeat way. I love your blog. I am almost jealous that you are heading into autumn and knitting weather. We are heading into spring here in Australia and I haven't done anywhere near the knitting I had hoped to this winter (sigh)
