Fall marks the beginning of the school year and somehow, even though it's been a long time since I went to school, I find it's a time for new beginnings. My local quilt guild meetings start up again after the summer off, some online blocks of the month start, and I start a few new projects. The weather also helps as there's not as much that needs to be done outside yet, as you say, it's a good time for long walks. Enjoy this fall!
