Thanks for the recipe! I'm looking forward to trying it. I don't feel like autumn tends to be as big a deal for me - maybe because there's not such an abrupt seasonal change in the Bay Area, and certainly lately the weather is less predictable. I do get sad that a lot of the great summer fruit and produce is not available.
I have been curious about Rhinebeck, especially since there doesn't seem to be many similar yarn festivals nearby in Nor Cal (although I realized I just missed one in Dixon last week). I learned that Stitches went bankrupt - I had only attended it once or twice before pandemic, and then it was gone! I think I might have seen your yarn there? Do you miss having such festivals, closer by? It seems from passive observation that Rhinebeck might have a very amped-up vibe. Visiting a local yarn store this weekend, they mentioned the Bay Area Yarn Crawl next spring. I like that idea, but not totally excited about the extensive driving that will involve.
Sad to hear Stitches is gone. I attended for quite a few years and the last one they held in Santa Clara, but then they moved to Sacramento. That venue was too far for me to travel back and forth in one day. It seemed to me that the show was smaller and less of a learning and sharing event as it went on through the years.
I'm not much of a traveler so I am perfectly content with so. CA fall weather although I do miss the Central Coast area from time to time. I used to take my little ones to an apple orchard there in the fall only there were also turkeys and lambs too. So neat holding new lambs in your lap. Ah, memories. I'm looking forward to your extra care posts. The media coverage is starting to give me anxiety.
Those donuts look great! I’ll definitely try them :).
I’ve been thinking about fall a lot, as I do this time every year. I’ve been living in Southern California for 17 years now, but I grew up in upstate New York, and October is often a bittersweet month of homesickness for me. I’ve never been to Rhinebeck, and one of my dear friends and I were talking about maybe going this year. It didn’t work out, but instead a couple of weeks ago we met halfway between our houses (she lives in the SF Bay area). We found a peaceful Air BnB in the Central Coast and spent the first weekend of October together. We found a lovely LYS in Cambria, we ate good food and talked and knitted. I’d still like to go to Rhinebeck someday, but really this year, the restorative time we had was probably what I needed more. Thank you for the reminders of hands-on joy. I’m really looking forward to your election week series, my anxiety is already going through the roof.

there are a couple of more lys if you come this way again.
This sounds like a really really lovely getaway. And I hear ya on the election anxiety.
You know… we do have a deep fryer.
I will clean out the fryer in preparation. Consider this your warning/invitation.
Imagine with me: Only Murders In the Building (best fall scenery) + deep frying apple cider donuts. 🍁🍂🍁
Already sent the recipe to J for my donuts/muffins
