Sweater Weather


Up until two days ago, the weather here was in the mid 80's to lower 90's.
Yesterday it started to cool off and now it's quite cool, dark and we are receiving
lots of rain.  

Sweater weather is here!



The leaves are starting to turn brilliant yellows, reds and
browns and will be piling up just as they did last year around
my Mom's vintage wrought iron bench circling her maple tree.



I want to just stay cozy in my cottage, make a cup of tea and knit a 
sweater.  Maybe one for Bentley.  It's also good blogging weather ~ so I am
linking up to ...

and

Bentley ~ you may not need to wear a sweater just yet, but how 
about your raincoat?

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  1. Bentley would be so cute in a raincoat! When I was little my dog Whiskers had a raincoat and boots, how about some boots too Bentley?

  8. Cozy and cool weather here in South Jersey, too, Susan. Got to wear my Irish cable knit sweater I picked up at a thrift shop for $5!! for the first time this year! This weekend, though, back to 80 degrees.
    Joy!

  11. Susan ~ I want to see Bentley in a sweater ~ Mindy loves hers. It has been nasty here in Ontario, Canada and Mindy will not go outside unless she has her pink sweater on ;-) Enjoy the cooler weather, curl up with Bentley and have a cup of tea

  12. Bentley is adorable, I love the name. What a little charmer! So glad to have found you. No fall weather here in Florida, but maybe by December we'll get to don a sweater or two. Enjoy yours. We are green (with envy!) here.

  14. I wish I knew how to knit a sweater. A warm one for Bentley would be a wonderful project for the approaching cold weather. Cute post!

  18. We had a little bit of cooler weather last week, but it is back up in the 80's. I love your Mom's bench. The turning leaves, the chill in the air certainly invite a nice warm cup of tea.

  21. Oh my goodness, that little sweater is the cutest! We had rain and cold last week but temps in the 70's and sunshine this week. So beautiful with the trees all aglow. It's kind of nice to start making preparations for snuggling in for the season:>)

  26. We are so thankful here for the cooler weather!! I love your Iron lawn furniture. I always wanted a set like this one. Very seldom do I see them for sale, and when I do, they are out of my budget!! Happy VTT!
