Between months

Last week of September had the most beautiful sunrises.

Every day I spent some time watching the beautiful lights before the sun rose.
The last weekend of September was as well gorgeous.

During the days the reds of leaves shone everywhere,

and the evening covered everything with soft warm light. 

The Nyárád valley is the love of my life. I am so glad I found a place where I really feel at home.

 

Last weekend I had time to watch the fauna.

And the October came.
On Saturday it was still some warm light,

With gorgeous colors,

colorful sunset

and a calm evening.

And we woke up on Sunday to rain, gray and dark skies.

On the road home I took photos, as I did not have to drive.

I love this real autumn weather.
On the knitting front: I still have less than one sleeve to knit on my Harvest cardigan, I have high hopes that I will wear it next weekend, on our time outdoors.

Middle of September

I love Fridays. As we still live in both our homes Friday means leaving the city, the noise, the dust and the crowd and until Sundays we spend our time in calmness.

I take my yarn-y project with me, I love knitting outdoors. 

This cardi fits the season really well. 
I love September, when summer is officially over, but it is not yet really autumn.
This season has a special mood. The light is different,

the colors change.

The clouds are still summery, but the wind autumnal.

Flowers still bloom,

but the meadow saffrons are sign of real autumn.

The mornings are cooler and the dew is cold (but I still have my coffee in the swing, even if I must wear woolen socks)

The insects lay eggs of the next generation, before the frost kills them.

And everything becomes slower and slower as the light becomes less and less.

(P.S. On Saturday evening we went to take photos of the full moon. And we succeeded to find a bear. Unfortunately, as the light was poor, we saw only its shadows moving, so I have no photos. At this time of the year they come closer to human settlements, so I am absolutely sure that we will have bear-related adventures from now on.)

First day of kindergarten

We had it today.
After a beautiful and long summer holiday today I took Klári to the kindergarten. She was waiting for it - and if I want to be sincere, I was waiting for it, too. It is hard to be at home with the two because they have a completely different rhythm - and all different of mine. Of course, one can adapt to them both, but that means that lots of things will have to be put aside. And it is even harder since Poppyseed started to explore the apartment.
I will start with a much needed cleaning now.
Anyhow, we had a great summer.

Yesterday, as an end chapter of the summer we went to Sovata,

but we ended up in Praid,

Bucin

and Gheorgheni basin too.

There it is real autumn.
We had a beautiful travel home, a quick rain washed away the dust.

It was good to be outdoors,

to get into the Mures probably the last time this year.

Anyhow, we plan some outdoors programs for a warm October weekend in the Mures defile.

But now, the end of summer is proved by the blooming of autumn crocuses...
