the trees around here are starting to turn, it's fall! on our drive up from chicago we hit many stretches of 94 that were just gorgeous. it seems that the trees started yesterday while i was at work. so far it's just alot of yellow, not much reds and oranges yet. here's a look down my street.

trees are starting to change colors!

grandma is doing ok. still in the ICU, but she's now down in minneapolis at the university hospital. she gets better and then something else happens. it's very hard on all of us. tonight is my first night not at the hospital. i'm having dinner with my boy and then we're going to watch lost and i'm going to work on my weeping willow shawl. have a good night!

I am considering making a shawl....do you have any suggestions for and easy starter lace shawl that doesn't look old fashioned?
