Cooler nights....

bring all kinds of interesting thoughts into play....

I think fall is coming. Though this summer has been strange where weather is concerned with more than normal rain and cooler temps. Our nights are now consistently in the low 50's and though our days are still warm..... I'm finally ready for a change. So perhaps this is all wishful thinking on my part?

Fall days mean bundling up for rides watching the changing of the leaves and having them fall around you as you travel down a mountain road, feeling the cooler temps on your face and smelling the clean wonderful fragrances all around you. You know that your an intimate part of it all.

Sending the kids off, to school or play, all snuggled up in their sweaters, hats and scarves. Giving them a hug before they go and feeling them in your arms all warm and safe.

I really do love this time of year!

My knitting "focus" has returned and I've begun working on my cashmere socks again.

I also have the desire to do a couple of sweaters. Me thinks Olivia and Jolie may be the recipients of those. Do I still have a quickie pattern that could be fun to do?

(This IS where cashmere comes from! Cute isn't he...)

Since my Blog is called, "Coffee, Cycles, Kids and More" and coffee is such an integral part of my every day life I thought it was about time that I included it in a post.
Coffee stops are becoming or have become a habit or better yet the culmination of nice rides. There's nothing nicer than a warm drink in your belly (and perhaps a nice pastry or slice of cheesecake on occasion) to send you riding home with.

We've discovered many new coffee shops and Starbucks, for us, have become passe. We stop at all the local small coffee shops for really unique experiences. One of our favourite stops is Pikes Perk on North Academy which on occasion has live music.

I think I'll start taking the camera with me for photo op's at the different locations that we relax at.
