Autumn inside/smoke outside

Air quality hazardous, 326.....

It looks the same outside, the smoke lifted a little bit in the middle of night. I went out early to grocery shop for my parents, by noon the smoke was really bad again.  Very few birds in the yard today, and not too much on the shoreline so I resorted to a photo of some knitting I started today.  I spotted the pumpkin at the store I buy stamps at, and thought it was cute and figured I could make that, so I purchased it and have started my own version of the pumpkin.  The yarn in the background is some I spun and hand dyed with plants from around the house.  There is yellow onion, Oregon grape and a few others, they may turn into pumpkins too.
