Preparing for autumn

[scottishlass]

Walked at the Rhine today and took the following picture. I think it is appropriate don't you think? I love thistles and it is the national emblem of part of my heritage.

Even though the sun is shining it feels more like autumn today, and strangely enough I really feel ready for it. I long for the grey, cold rainy afternoons with the dogs lying at my feet and me at the sewing machine, a good cup of tea nearby. All that is missing is a mantelpiece and a fire int eh hearth :)

Will be off to the sewing circle in a little while. I want to line out an A-line skirt pattern for autumn and also start sewing together my pelisse.

It's beautiful! I wouldn't mind autumn coming, too. I can't stand the heat, and there is nothing like cuddling up with a good book on an autumn afternoon with a pot of tea while Loreena McKennitt is singing in the background. *sigh*

That or Clannad :)

I think I'm ready for autumn and especially winter. I long for Chrismastime :) Last night, when we dorve home it settled to dusk and the red tail lights of the cars reminded me so of Christmas, it was almost overwhelming.
