This really doesn't have anything to do with anything but my regular every day life, so if you come here solely for fiber content, there's a tiny bit near the bottom.
Saturday, my high school best friend got married, which is great, because we love his girlfriend/now wife, too. It was touching, because they've been together for about six years, and you can tell how much they love each other. My cousin Eric was one of the best men (Dan, the groom, also had his brother).
Only bad thing about the day, was the rain. Massachusetts has had about eight days of straight rain, and a lot of places were getting flooded on Saturday. Unfortunately, that made it difficult for the bride and groom to get to the church...lol. In fact, the limo couldn't get down Katie (the bride)'s street, as it was flooded, so the bridal party had to hitch rides to the church. But, although the wedding started at least an hour after expected, it did start, and now we've got a happily married Dan and Katie.
My favorite picture...lol
My cousin and Dan's sister
My parents (aren't they cute?) It felt like half my family was there, as my parents were, Eric's parents were, and of course, me and Eric were there.
Me and Andy
One more of the bride and groom (love her dress).
Sunday, despite the muddy fields, Andy and I went apple picking.
There was a pond, with ducks and other birds:

What was really cool, was the girl selling apple picking bags, noticed my hat and asked if I knit it myself...she was a knitter too, and even despite the cold windy day we were having, had her knitting with her to work on in between customers! I saw her working on something when we were driving out, but couldn't make out what. I love finding other knitters though!
And last, my new small project bag. I got this on Etsy , from this seller. It's big enough to cart around my growing Irish Hiking Scarf.
I'm really only working on the scarf, which is why I haven't updated much...scarf progress is slow, and boring.
Cute bag! :)

The wedding looked like a lot of fun! What a cute bag you got there. I love it when I see people out crochet or knitting and striking up conversations about it. Too much fun. Bet the scarf will be pretty when it is done. . . keep it up.

Looks like a good party despite the rain. They say it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day. I wonder what kind of luck that much rain will bring you. Cute bag.

Before I read that someone asked you about the hat, I thought how cute we get to wear our creations now that it is getting cold. We plan/planned to go apple picking too. Every weekend it raining!!! I hope next weekend is a little better. Love the wedding photos. You and Andy look like your having fun.
