Selfie Time: November

Lanterns

Stumbled across these W.T. Kirkman oil lanterns the other day while walking to the yarn shop. They were just sitting on the sidewalk. Aren’t they great?

I joked to Ryan that I felt like a character in an LL Bean catalogue, living my “rustic” Martha Stewart life (minus a few horses). Taking a look at this picture, I think it does sum up this phase of fall.

I love fall but it scares me. Quite a few years in a row I’ve fallen prey to seasonal affective disorder. So since 2009 or so I’ve tried to have an active “fall plan” so that I don’t drift into a hole of depression once winter hits. Doesn’t that sound pathetic?

So I do what I like. I’ve been knitting a lot. Cooking delicious fall food. Wearing big sweaters and favorite boots. Watching movies and tv endlessly. Listening to opera full blast on Spotify. And being totally antisocial when I want to.

I think it’s working so far.

    1. The lanterns are LOVELY! 2. The whole seasonal affective disorder thing is very real & I understand your need to “prep” yourself for the winter season. I should probably try to prep myself too, because I feel gloom casting a shadow on me. 3. I just discovered your blog today, & its pretty awesome. 🙂

      Hi Keish!
      Thanks for dropping by my blog. I’m always humbled when people stumble across it. I was going to turn the lanterns into a terrarium, but after a polish, they are quite nice on their own as a decoration.

      Yes it’s quite lovely. I’ve been working to the Hungarian Radio Chorus’ version of Barber of Seville if you’re looking for something cheerful

  2. Hey there! Quick question that’s completely off
    topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.

    I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please
    share. Cheers!

    Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility
    issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
    Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, amazing blog!
