Yarn Along: Wendell Berry and Pie...


I made the first apple pie of the season on Monday night and it has been the perfect pick-me-up in the afternoons.  I always choose to make Alicia's Sour Cream Apple Pie and this time I spent some time talking to my sister, Juliana, while I mixed everything up.  I wish that she were here to enjoy a slice with me!

As you can see, my knitting hasn't grown much this week.  I really love the uncomplicated pattern though...  it's nice when a pattern is pretty and easy, isn't it?  I really like that I can pick it up whenever the mood strikes and get right back into it.

The children and I started reading The Cricket in Times Square this week...  I know that I have read it before but I don't remember much of it at all,  so the story is fresh and interesting to all of us.  Circle of Friends is just perfect before-bed reading...  It is one of my favorite stories!  Monday is our library day (it is easy to get there after our son's speech class) and for once I was prepared to dash through the stacks to get a book for myself.  I've been hearing a lot about Wendell Berry for a few months and selected Hannah Coulter for my first foray into his work.  I'm hoping that The Art of the Commonplace:  The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry will find it's way to me in the next few days...  I requested it from another library!

I am a huge Berry fan, he really is gifted.
My children loved The Cricket in Time Square.

I love this whole post! I looooved Hannah Coulter and hope you do too! It always makes me happy to see others enjoying my favorite books. And I may have to try that pie recipe since I have three big boxes of apples and more in the neighboring orchard waiting to be picked....

That scarf pattern is lovely! I haven't been in the mood to knit lately - although I should be knitting for the new little one we are going to welcome soon. Instead sleep has been more important :-)

I read Hannah Coulter when I was expecting my second baby and really enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy it too!
