Do You Feel it Coming Around the Corner?

School started in South Pasadena yesterday. All of my jobs have revolved around the school year.

Private flute and piano teacher
Director of Handbells at my church
The "Waldorf" inspired pre-school that I had at my house when the boys where young.
Then I became a real Waldorf teacher for 9 years.

June has always meant that my schedule got lighter and I would have free time. We always spent August away somewhere and September meant the beginning of not just the kids schedule filling up but mine too.

Now the boys don't live here most of the year, I have retired from teaching and handbell directing, and my life can often be the same day in and day out.

But yesterday, even though the weather outside is far from "fall like" I sat on my front porch with Miss Claire watching all the kids walking to school with their new backpacks and it just felt like fall.

The start of school gives me the hope that fall really is on it's way. We may have weeks of hot weather ahead but I can smell sweater knitting just around the corner.

I found this on flickr. Waldorf teachers and parents have been "felting" scenes like this for a very long time. Take a look at her other felted dolls they are wonderful.

I want to start needle felting like this again and making
Nature Tables that will celebrate the Seasons once again in style.

Halloween Fun!

Here are some pics of my Halloween decoration. Thanks to Mary I was able to get pics off my phone onto my blog. Wow, that is a lot of technology for one day, at least I had a lot of knitting time to balance it out!

My Ghosties

From my Waldorf School Days I have a Nature Table. It has lots of witches, pumpkins, and spiders. You don't get it all with this phone camera, But it is better then nothing.

The Joy of Fall!!

Well I still don't have a camera. So I am going to write some things so that I feel like I am doing something with this blog.

Marie had this one her blog so I did the quiz.

You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times...
You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings
Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you

Now this comes as no surprise to me. My street is full of sugar maple trees and the leaves are turning. I do a happy dance when the first leaves fall on my lawn and then sit on my front porch just marveling at the wonderful colors.

As I write this I am in my livingroom with my Halloween decoration up, candles burning, Nora Jones on the ipod, enjoying the cooler weather.

Of course with fall comes the real comfort of knitting. I knit all year long but with the change of weather knitting takes on extra comfort.

So here's to Fall and Funky Pumpkins, Witches, football games, hot soup, candles and toes that stay toasty with the socks that were knitted over the summer.
