I do so appreciate these warm autumn days we are having, each time the wind blows, a myriad of leaves gently glide towards the ground… The sun is shining through the almost bare branches and I sit here and knit… watching the boys rake the leaves into a huge pile and then swing down from the tree landing on a bed of leaves… I love how something as simple as a pile of leaves captures their attention for hours, they laugh and are happy…. and seeing their joy, makes me happy too…
GIVEAWAY:
I would love to gift someone with this autumn hand spun, hand painted super wash South African Merino wool. The colourways are vibrant and full of strength… If you would like to enter dear friends, just leave a comment. I will announce the winner in this blog post on Monday evening, please make sure I am able to reach you to let you know that you have won.
Congratulations to Angela! Please would you email me your postal details:)

That is one fabulous tree you have in your garden. We’re having beautiful weather here too but we are coming into Spring rather than Autumn

oh your yarn, linda, is always such a treat for the eyes! thanks for this chance.
i really enjoy watching the seasons unfold for you, at opposite ends of the natural cycle from where we’re at… such a great reminder of how cyclical everything is!
We should be having spring here. We awoke to snow yet again on the ground. INSANE!!!
Gives us something to talk about though…… when the ordinary becomes unordinary.
Autumn is my favorite season. (: Here in Florida, in the Spring, the creeping vines and invasive weeds take over *everything!* It’s a beautiful season, but so much work!
Absolutely gorgeous! Looks like you all are really enjoying the fall.
I also recently discovered your blog and am loving checking in each day to read and see your posts. You live in a beautiful part of the world and it is so fun to experience it via your pictures. Love your knitting projects – so inspiring!

I’m loving reading your blog lately – with the seasons changing here & there it is so interesting to read about autumn there as we’re thawing out from winter here. xo
Thank you Linda!!! xx m.
Hello Dear Shannon,
The treehouse was built entirely by our three older children. They gave us a shopping list of what they needed and they built it themselves. They built it last weekend out of recycled materials. I actually must blog about it.

Lovely leaves and lovely wool!!
I think Autumn is my most favourite time of year because the days are so crisp and clear and just warm enough to sit in the sun and craft. It is just hinting at the coolness to come and thoughts of scarf’s and gloves pop into my mind and I am itching to look for patterns

I climbed every tiny tree I could find as a kid, dreaming of the kind of tree you have in your own back yard. Your children don’t know – can’t know – what children like me dream of, because they have it. How wonderful a place you have made for them.
