Like Living in Paradise


I took a drive along the seashore at the point where the Monterey Bay opens to the Pacific ocean.  It was such a dramatic afternoon.  I didn't have my camera, but just like everyone else, I had my cell phone with its camera. Remembering the adage that the best camera you own is the one you have with you, I stopped and took a picture.  I hadn't seen the kites until just before I snapped the shot.  Lucky me!

Swatching


Checking the gauge.  Back to the meditation that is knitting.  Listening to baseball and enjoying a sunny afternoon. Such peace.
Quince & Co Sparrow yarn in Sky. Linen spun in Italy.

Home Treasures



Just keeping my hand in.  Treasures from around here, and a project I'm trying out


I have been missing my camera!  It's just been so very busy around here...

Where Have I Been???

It's been such a long time! I've never gone this long and the story is too long to tell. Suffice it to say things have changed and are now beginning to settle into getting back to the new normal. Same house. Same camera...and me.  I want to make a push to post regularly again, at least weekly.  I will try...if anyone is left who checks in.

I've been reading, here are some of the titles:

Spirals in Time
The Narrow Edge
Lisette's List (again)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (again)
When Books Went to War
Prisoners of Geography
and currently:
Hamilton (on going)
Americans in Paris (on going)
Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms (on going)

The garden is in full swing with peas, onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, beans, asparagus, cabbages, and assorted herbs.

That's the mercifully short version of life around here.  Oh and there's always knitting, just not as much...
