{ First real cold day brings crochet and a roaring fire }

I opened the blinds this morning, and was met by the welcoming sight of condensation on the window, creating a photo frame like appearance.  A random drop ran down leaving a crooked line that brought to life the trees outside while obscuring everything else around.

 

Often, I will open the bedroom window to let in the fresh air, but this morning it brought in a chill that had me reaching for a sweater, before I could even take in the first breath of air.  Ahhhhh that joyous feeling when the cold finally sets in and I know I can, for sure, say goodbye to summer until next year.

 

 

 

After the usual morning gym and a quick run to the commissary for some last minute grocery items, that I couldn't get at Winco yesterday, I came home, did what I needed to do, and then settled in for some crocheting by the fire.

 

I did that for about two hours, although, after 30 minutes with that heavy wool blanket on my legs and the first roaring beside me, I opted to move away from the inferno to a bit cooler spot.

 

I've also done some more reading today, I am desperately trying to finish this book so that I can move on to the next.  It's not that I'm not liking it, but I feel like some books I can devour in 2 days and some seem to take weeks.  This one is falling into the weeks, since it's been on my bedside table for the entire month of October.  *sigh* 

 

I am not making dinner tonight, it is our usual Saturday night fend for yourself.  I used to feel so guilty at first doing this, but the boys all love it.  They say as much as they love my homecooked meals, they also like having a day to eat snacks and whatever they want, kind of like a cheat day when you're on a diet.  Hahaha

 

So, as for myself, I might just have some apple and yogurt, I am not very hungry at all.

 

For now, I am going to finish this post and get it up on the blog, then I'm going back to my crochet.  We have started squaring off the blanket and I am loving how it is looking.  Can't wait to show you all, will probably do that this coming week, so you can see how big it is getting now.  

 

I will also probably watch some YouTube videos, I have a few vlogtobers that I haven't caught up with, so want to get those out of the way seeing as we are already in November.

 

Hope you're all having a fantastic Saturday, I will see you tomorrow!
