29 and counting

Yes, 29 years married today.   A low key day at home for us and that's just fine.  Last month we had the opportunity to cruise to LA and back via a cruise.   That's more than enough an anniversary gift.


This was one of the views we enjoyed.  San Francisco, Pier 39, the harbor, the barking of sea lions, maneuvers overhead by the pelican fleet, Alcatraz and of course the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.

Even though we returned home early October both DH and I managed to catch colds.   More so one of us caught a cold and then shared.  And so went the rest of October.  here we are the calendar page turned and the clocks back an hour, welcome November.


Recent wind and rain storms have left most tree bare.  The last of the leaves on the Japanese Maple turned this lovely orange brown.

 


This time of the it seems the hummers are a bit willing to linger for a photo or two.  Rainy days are the best while they sit in either the fig tree or the lilac.


For the September October Challenge with the Ravelry  Jenkins spindle group, a finish.   The cowl is soft and warm. 

Now it's time to get busy with knitting (and other projects)  Dare I say the countdown is on.

till next time...

The cowl looks lovely! You've done more knitting with your handspun this year than I have, that's for sure.

Happy Anniversary to you both, and I hope you are over your colds now. The cruise sounds lovely and seems like you had plenty to look at! Thanks for sharing your photos.
Your cowl looks really snuggly. London is cold at the moment, I'm on the verge of getting out all the accessories and wrapping up warm. Enjoy the rest of your week!
