October Photo of the Month: Doughnuts or Socks?

Nope, I couldn't just pick one photo of the month for October.

The first photo of the month happened on October 1st, when I was with my friends, sisters Melissa and Kate, in the village of Deep Cove, which is near Kate's home in North Vancouver, BC. They kept talking all weekend about Honey's and their fantastic doughnuts, and on Sunday morning we braved the crowd—a line out the door—and got Honey's signature maple frosted doughnuts and coffee. YUM! Absolutely the best doughnut I have ever eaten! I managed to snap a photo with my phone before I ate every last crumb.

I took the second photo of the month at home, right after I finished knitting my latest pair of socks. I cast on the socks back in July, when I needed a pair for car knitting and it only dawned on me in mid-October that the Intrepid Otter colorway, Acid Dreams, would make great Halloween socks. Fortunately, I finished knitting them on October 28th, just in time for the pumpkin carving party that we go to every year.

There has been quite a bit of knitting and other fiber adventures happening in my life lately, and I have been remiss in not sharing them with you. But that is about to change; I promise to be back with a new post in the next few days.

Back to the Blog, and a Happy Halloween

So another month has gone by with nary a blog post. My excuse is the same as last month, lots of traveling and too much going on to sit down and write about it.

Mr D and I were on the east coast for 12 days earlier this month, and there was lots to catch up on when we returned. Through all of that, I've been knitting, but I'll save what I've been working on for another post. I have also have been in the planning stages for some blog posts on our epic September road trip, but with hundreds of photos to sift through, those will have to wait a bit.

I do want to share a few seasonal scenes with you today, to wish you a very Happy Halloween! See you again in early November!

Photo of the Week: A Bit Early for Halloween

Anyone who knows me well knows that Autumn is my favorite season and Halloween is my favorite holiday. You can imagine how happy I was to see this ripening pumpkin in a garden in my neighborhood. Autumn and Halloween, all rolled into one photo! What could be better?

Happy Halloween!

I'm woefully behind on telling you about my knitting, and I have at least three hikes that I haven't shared, but today is Halloween, one of my favorite holidays of the year, so I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite Halloween photos. Have a wonderful, scary, spooky, ghostly and happy Halloween!
