France

Hello, autumn in France. That's if autumn includes high temps in the 30s, shorts and flip-flops, and outdoor dinners under clear, starry skies. For the last half of July and all of August we drove through France, Switzerland, Austria, and into Germany. We camped for more than 3 tiring weeks, climbed at Céüse, bouldered in Zillertal and the Frankenjura, cleaned up nice for a wedding, got kicked out of someone's house (silly story), reconnected with family, did some gardening, picked berries, played with countless little girls, and went on a climber's diet. I did some bloggy housekeeping, putting Links in the sidebar and adding Mastheads. The Gallery has been updated, and I've decided to add blank "Projects In Progress" FPOs so I won't forget to write about them eventually. (And I have quite a bit!) I did not knit at all.

So how was your summer?

I've been yearning for fall weather too. Today was the first morning in a long time that the temperature was less than 20C when Cam left for work.

I owe you a long email. But I wanted to tell you, I can finally ichat video...

It's lovely! Do they have the pattern online? I did a quick hunt for it...but couldn't find it as a single pattern.

great sweater that fits really well. a sure success.
your summer sounds divine, even the getting kicked out of someone's house because you were likely somewhere beautiful and feeling carefree. at least that's the fantasy...
