Gobble gobble...



Where have I been? I have been busy getting ready for our Marketplace next week. No more procrastination. Oh, but a short trip up to the GA mountains yesterday to forage for apples doesn't count. I'm a little late this year for making applesauce but tomorrow will be the day. Bought 3 1/2 bushel bags which look like they should yield about 100-110 apples each. The photo is deceiving. These bags are huge... One whole bag will be for apple pies. I just prepare the filling - freeze it - and poof! It's ready for me for pies. I usually only get Winesap apples - they make excellent applesauce and they freeze well and great in pies...

Finished my turkey banner so thought I would post a picture of that since I have no knitting to show. He was a lot of fun to make. Mine looks like he is jumping up in the air and I noticed the sample on the front of the pattern shows his legs should be at the end of the 'white' area. Oh well, he's like me... Always in a twirl!


I am knitting - working on a pair of Opal Rainforest Tiger socks, just plain, toe up and also working on my Chevron scarf. I really enjoy that.

That's about it right now. Have a wonderful fall weekend...
