Fall Has Officially Arrived! (Well, for us, anyway)

Yes, I know that the official start of fall has long since passed, but it is hard to believe autumn is upon us when last week it was in the 80s and 90s here in San Francisco.   And although it isn't all that unusual to have a heat wave here in September and October, boy, are we glad that is over.  I love fall, and I still reminisce fondly about east coast autumns with changing leaves and crisp autumn air. 

But, just to prove that fall has officially arrived for us in San Francisco, here's some evidence:

Yup, Emma in her first Halloween costume at a pumpkin patch in San Francisco.  We didn't dress her up last year since she was only 2 1/2 months old at the time.  And by the way, I think it rather amazing that we are able to find a pumpkin patch in the middle of a city.  

Emma had a good time and we were able to meet up with friends.   Emma picked her own pumpkin - she is a strong little one, and actually picked up one of those little pumpkins in the picture by the stem. 

In other news, I finally finished an adult sweater for myself.  All this knitting and never one sweater for me.  I am pleased with it and will post some pictures of me wearing it soon.   It took me forever and a day to finish the sweater because work has once again been kicking my ass (hence the long break between posts).
