It's Black Friday, and as is my custom, I avoided stores like the plague. I didn't even go get corn for the deer, which I was completely out of. They didn't seem bothered by it, though. They just licked up the seed the birds dumped out of their feeders...
And I probably should have cropped that photo, but it's not happening now.
While I was not shopping, I got all of my fall decorations down and put away, then started putting out Christmas stuff, and in so doing, I discovered that the kids had missed quite a few ornaments when they were decorating my tree.
That situation is now rectified, and all of those ornaments are safely on the tree.
There isn't really that much else to talk about, because all I did was watch football. While I was watching, I finished As A Mist Creeps In.
It turned out really gorgeous. Then I caked up the next skein,
which is from Forbidden Fiber, and the colorway is Foliage, from her harvest collection. I bought it at Fiber Fun In The 'Sip a few years ago. I think this one may be discontinued, because I can't find it on her website, buuuuut, she's got a new Christmas collection that is available for pre-order.
Don't mind me. I'm just sitting here trying to resist temptation.
OK, moving right along, we finally had our first frost last night-- which usually happens about the middle of November. Unfortunately, I didn't get the Lemon verbena or the Greek Oregano cut, so I guess we'll see how cold hardy they are.
Speaking of, I still have one Cosmos in my front bed that has buds on it.
I guess we'll see how cold hardy they are, too because it's supposed to get down into the 20s tonight. I imagine that'll kill off pretty much everything else I have planted.
