I finished Chris's sweater last night, despite having the majority of my free time completely consumed during the month of October. I think it's my best sweater yet, and is a real milestone--I've only been promising Chris a sweater for the entire 7½ years we've been together!

Isn't he handsome?

Well, no sense in wasting time... I'm off to start my next project!

The Champlain Islands of Vermont are home to a very special breed of redneck, and no better opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the culture exists than at the South Hero AppleFest. Chris and I found ourselves there this past Sunday, where I managed to pass a few bittersweet hours, despite scarcely being able to move after helping to unload a truckload of about 900 pumpkins for the Haunted Forest the day before.


Chris and I are like this pretty much all of the time.

After soaking up as much local color as I could stand, it was off to beautiful Smugglers' Notch for leaf-peeping and an impromtpu caving expedition.

So pretty!

Monday was a paid holiday, and all day long I cleaned the house top to bottom. The place looks so nice I took pictures of that too, because I always love seeing what my lj friends' houses look like. But I'ma save 'em for another post.

I just had to re-type this whole thing after my embedded video fucked up my whole post, and I'm really annoyed! How was your weekend? Did you get Columbus Day off from work? Who's decided on a Halloween costume yet?!
