ice cream cones and corn chowder and knitting squares

we took our knitting squares to robyn love's husband's office today. they're late so i'm not sure how many she can use for her project, but they're out of the house and into the world, and that's a good thing.

i wanted to write "listen to their hearts" but it took me ages to just write the first word, so "listen" is all that was done . . m and c were a lot quicker than i about embroidering the messages, but they also liked keeping it short and simple. (you can read about robyn's project here and here.)

why, you may ask, is there a photograph of ice cream cones on the autumnal equinox? because it was 80 degrees today, that's why! i thought we deserved the cones for putting up with the heat on such a fall day. we ordered them at ronnybrook in chelsea market. we were able to get two scoops and we all chose coffee, but morgana had chocolate hazelnut for her second choice, i had chocolate, and chanda had vanilla.

in honor of the first day of autumn, and because it had a summer-like warmth to it, we had corn chowder (from deborah madison's vegetable soup cook book) and an arugula lettuce salad for dinner.

before going to sleep, we said good night to the harvest moon.

  1. Happy autumn! I can't think of a better way to start the season than knitting, ice cream and looking at the moon.
