It might be a two thermos kind of day. Yesterday, during a bright, sunny morning, I got an email from a Plein Air group I belong to that meet on Fridays to scout the countryside for interesting places to paint. It was cancelling today’s meet-up because of heavy rains. Now, this was a beautiful, sunny day and they were cancelling the next day’s meet. Really ?
So, five AM this morning…..pouring rain…..absolutely beating the roof and all around….loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep…….and it kept up all morning and looks like it will be hanging around this afternoon, too. What Magic Ball does she have ?
The last time I was working at the museum, I got a call from a lady in desperate need of help with a pattern. Because we do not know each other, we decided to meet in the Rockwell Public Library. That was my first library in the region and I love the staff.
I met with her this morning and had a productive visit. She is a lovely older lady from this area. I helped her read her pattern and figure out her stitch count and gave her my tricks for dealing with repeated patterns, etc. She gave me a recipe for a knitted baby bib that is adorable. We hit it off quite well and I guess I am okay when she realized the librarians knew me by name. I hope we meet up again some time soon. It’s always nice to have a knitting buddy.
I finished ‘The Fix’ and have started on a book my cousin sent me. I had read “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson last month for book club. “The Sun Does Shine” is about Anthony Ray Hinton, who spent 30 years on death row in Alabama for crimes he did not commit. Looks interesting already.
Time to curl up in the corner of my couch with a book and a cup of tea. It’s that kind of afternoon.
oh, look………..shiny
