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.

First frost

In our region the second half of September brings the first frosts.

There will be a warmer time soon, but there are a few mornings when rime covers the landscape.

The sun rays then unwrap the plants from their armor of ice, and the afternoons will be warm.

Then, after those few days the Indian summer returns.

These frosty days this year were last weekend, when we were at the countryside.

I love how the leaves turn yellow,

the dried plants,

the first rays of sun in the morning,

the colorful fruits,

the last flowers

  When knitting in the swing I drank tea.

In the evening I went to the surroundings of the village and up on the hills. 

I saw deer, foxes and bears - but the light then was really poor for pictures.
The only evening photo I have is that of the church and the moon.

I have plans for next weekend, I hope they will come true. Hopefully ice-free.

5:20

This morning B had some early morning program with his mother, this is why I also woke up early. I set the clock-alarm to 5:30, but I woke up at 5:20, and got up.
The children were still aspleep, it was quiet. I took my coffee and i started to read and knit. With this  Harvest it is possible, I am knitting and purling long rows, and it is so soothing.

I do not know when was the last time I had such a pleasant hour.
Later I could see the light before sunrise.

I had time for everything. Even for breakfast.
I think this is the direction I should move in order to have some me-time. Because at any other period of a day I cannot be alone. The children wake up at 7, by themselves at times, then prepare them for school, then I must go to work, then in the afternoon everybody is at home and I have chores to do, and since school begun there is learning too. Later in the evening we prepare for the night: bath, dinner, reading, and when we finished all, I too fall asleep. So I lost myself in all this.
I think, this will be the solution.

I get up, have a coffee in the calmness, while I can read, knit, listen to music - and it is a better start for the day.
Today it sure was.
