#sundayyellow the last of the flowers on my Grindelia. This has been an absolute workhorse of a plant, blooming for months. I'm glad I planted more. #bloomscrolling 🌱

The Shagbark Maple is in mid shift to its fall red leaves. I don't think I will get the whole thing to red this year, it keeps being windy. 🌱

#showmeyourknits cables again. Your eyes do not deceive you, there is 1 hat and 2 matching scarves. I knot a hat and scarf set with a braided cable for my SO when we started dating. They lost the scarf so I made a replacement. The first scarf resurfaced so now there are 2 scarves for the 1 hat. 🧶

Why must seeds germinate everywhere but where I want them? This is most likely Lupinus albicaulis which I have a couple of across a path from the grass. 🌱

I'm knitting the second stripe which I am doing in a very dark almost black purple color. The rest will be brown, I just couldn't resist the purple. #wipWednesday 🧶

#bulbwatch planning for the future. Dichelostemma congestum that will come up in the spring. I thought I already had this one but was sent Dichelostemma 'Pink Diamond' instead. 🌱

#showmeyourknits I bet you all can guess by the picture what the horror story is here. My SO's favorite sweater I knot for them had a run in the dryer. Even though I bought non felting yarn, the wool couldn't handle the heat. It's my sweater now. 🧶

Could have been more dangerous. The computer fabrics are for my SO to make a bag. The orange fabric is for some couch pillows.

Reupping all the crochet patterns I made inspired by the Willow series. There is plenty of time to make some of these babies for Xmas gifts. You can make #Tanthamore or #graylora or even sweet baby Kenneth. 🧶

It's become applesauce. I will be eating it, hot, over ice cream. Some people have pumpkin spice lattes, others have apple cider donuts, I have homemade applesauce over ice cream.
