The leaves are finally turning. We've had such unseasonably warm weather it has taken longer than usual for the colors to burst forth from the trees. They are bursting now. On my bus route out in the county this afternoon I saw some gorgeous trees in vivid red, some bright yellow, deep intense orange. This is one of the reasons I like my job.
My mind is having trouble with the timing, though. I hear Christmas music, see decorations on homes as well as in the stores. The "gift" type junk is on the shelves again. This triggers my mind into the Christmas holiday spirit, even though I know it is too early. I'm beginning to really want to watch my Christmas movies, and I NEVER watch them until after Thanksgiving (with a few exceptions, provisions, quid pro quo).
Autumn colors on the trees sets me in a different mood, though. It's a fall thing. Frost on the pumkins, harvest, scarecrows, roast turkey. With fall coming late and Christmas being forced on me early, I'm all confused.

wow. that does seem late for the leaves to be changing. it is the best time of year though!
and, re your question about knitting buttonholes: I don't know. I'm pretty sure it can be done, but I have no idea how. If you need, I can look in a couple reference books or online for you! Let me know.
Thanks, vuboq. Look for an email from me.
the fall is when i shine. i just love it. i wish i was in the south though, it's much prettier there then LA during the fall. i need tree's!
That last sentence says it all! I'm just beginning to enjoy Fall and anticipating the tryptophan from next week's turkey. I don't need to be reminded of grandmother being run over by a reindeer just yet. :-)
