So how about those leaves?I do live in New England, and it IS mid October, so what's up with this?
And this? Things are curiously green around here still.
(Note to Hilary: They were playing wild animal hide and seek in the trees. You can't see, but there are 7 kids in the yard. And then Zoe, inside on the computer, playing Nick Jr. )
Anyways, in the spirit of "If I make it, it will come." We decided to make a fall cocktail and hang out on the patio, and act like it was time, so the trees might be inspired to move things along. It did get chilly, so I did bust out and wear my new cowl/wrap thing. After the pretty photo, where it served as my fall themed prop.

It's a Glass of Pie. Does that sound wrong? We couldn't decide if it sounded like a euphemism for something dirty. Or if we were just too twisted and bored and shouldn't really even be drinking at 3 in the afternoon anyways.
So if you don't want to offer your friends Glasses of Pie, you can call this an Autumn Pie. Which honestly, may or may not be any better. Give me another idea if you have one.
1.5 oz white rum
.5 oz Hot Damn cinnamon schnapps
(I love that this stuff is called Hot Damn)
quick shot of OJ
fill remainder of glass with cider (about 6 oz?)
ice cubes
I'm guessing this would also be pretty tasty warm, but that'll have to wait for some Actual Cold Weather. In the meantime, enjoy. If you want it a little less sweet, try a shot of lemon juice too. We didn't have any, although I did plan on including it. In the end we decided we like it just fine without.

In further planning for fall, I've managed to get into the body of my white tweedy lacy project. I'm liking this a lot -- we'll see if I get it done to wear to Rhinebeck or if I wear my
cabled brown cardigan with the ties. Not sure.
(I cannot make the paragraph above align properly....)

In Rhinebeck news, I'm all worked out with my partner and a room. And yep, I waited until One Week Before the fair to find a room. Ha. Just try that. After a series of nopes, on a whim, I called a hotel really close in - because, fuck it, what did I have to lose, right?
Turns out I called a hotel in Kingston about 1 minute after someone had cancelled their reservation I and got a room Right There. In Kingston, about 15 mintues away.
I'll be bringing drinks.
