sunset.

on sunday night we had a final farewell to the summer by cooking out on my "in-laws" farm. the sky was magical. i'm so lucky i get to see sunsets like this so often.

apples and pocket holes.

I was going to write a post about apple picking but instead I am going to talk about Lobsterman's penchant for losing things.

He has lost his wallet, license, car keys and a variety of other items of importance about a million times since I've met him. This is not an exaggeration. He's lost items everywhere from a movie theater to the White Mountains. I know this because somehow someone always finds his lost item and mails it back to us. So odd.

So when I looked at this picture closely, I noticed something....sticking out of his back pocket. {click on the photo to enlarge} Our apartment key!



I am pretty sure we lost this key on that day. It's obvious to me that the man needs to stop wearing jeans with holes and then perhaps our problems will be solved.

The end.

problems.

I can't stop eating pumpkin pastries. It's a problem. I devoured this tray of pumpkin muffins BY MYSELF after deeming them too "burned" to bring to a work function.



A few days later I made a pumpkin loaf. It's pretty much gone. It's a little too soon for me to be gaining holiday weight.

oh hey october.

can you believe october is tomorrow? apparently my street can because it's already covered in leaves.




happy fall to you!

building a lobster trap.

so here's how it goes down.






you get some cagey pieces. you snap them together with metal fasteners. you leave some holes so the lobsters can get in. you put up some meshy things so they can fall in but not get out. you hang bags full of bait.

ta-da! you learned something new today!

woody allen.

i love this movie. have you seen it?



a must see if you're a woody allen fan like me.

boots.

finally took my fall boots out of storage and noticed that every single pair has a heel coming apart. apparently i'm hard on my feet.



so i splurged and purchased these for the upcoming season. one allowance.
