The knitting has slacked off recently and it doesn’t look like it will be on the priority list anytime soon. I’m still making a hat here and there. I’m still adding to my stash. I’m just not accomplishing anything worth talking about. Such is life.
I did make a Boo Striped Baby Hat *, named after the little girl in the movie Monsters, Inc. I used Manos del Uruguay Cotton Stria that I had in my stash. I’ll make more of these fun little caps.
In everyday life, our pumpkin is growing and even turning orange. 
It’s bigger than a basketball and it looks like it will actually get ripe, even though it wasn’t planted until July 5th. 
And there’s a new little pumpkin starting on the same plant that’s as big as a walnut. I don’t have much hope of that one finishing up the season, though. It has been good fun watching this baby grow. We are eating lots of tomatoes and yellow squashes,too. Check out this perfect little pear tomato.
We’ve also been putting some windfall apples out for the deer and watching them eat them. They look pretty funny and cute with their mouths full of big apples. There’s a doe and her fawn, a little buck with tiny velvet-covered horns and a little spiked buck. This fuzzy picture was taken through a window and is of the mama of the bunch with her fawn beside her.
That’s all I have for this end-of-summer post. I’m looking forward to the new season, especially if the rains stay away just a little while longer.
