Mushrooms!!!
It's not been the best mushrooming autunm weatherwise - it's been either raining or it's been way too cold for me to pick mushrooms. I've got mild Raynaud's, and when the temperature is below +5C, my fingers start hurting. I'm not very good at this living in the cold north-thing.
But there's mushrooms in the freezer, and I've dried some (black chanterelles). My freezers are full, and I need to take a stock inventory on my pantry shelves, because youknow, winter is coming.
I'm not very optimistic about the future. That eastern idiot of a country has been escalating things lately I don't know whether to be scared, terrified, annoyed or angry. At school we were taught this saying We weather the weather whatever the weather whether we like it or not, and somehow it seems so relevant now.
But. We have enough firewood for the whole winter, much more than usually. I've made sure we have a lot of rice and pasta, and some flour and seasonings. I've planted garlic and checked we have plenty of candles and matches. I've got more yarn than I could possibly knit, and our financial situation is, for once, stable. No debts, only mortage. All cars are paid, electricity will be fixed tariff this winter.
So. I'm knitting socks.
