What I feel like doing today: sitting in a recliner knitting on that shawl, drinking lots of coffee. What I will be doing today: packing boxes and making a post office run, and dyeing this pile. Everyone should have such problems, eh what? The several days of rain — for which I’m incredibly grateful, after […]

I spent rainy yesterday tidying a bit. It was a day of impressive thunderstorms. Storm the third for the day was reported on the evening news as having dumped 1.65 inches of rain on this town specifically, in about 90 minutes. Not a good week to want to dry things outside, I suppose. So, I […]
