NEEDLES AND NIGHTSTAND

Slowly at last the heavy clouds, charged with the welcome water, roll up from seaward; the air grows sultry and still; the creatures of the grove and jungle keep their coverts, as if expectant, like the surface of the soil; there is a hush over all things, as though nature herself were faint; till presently the lightning flashes and the thunder rattles, and down, as if really from heaven and from the hand of God, comes the thick and fresh rain. Then there rises from the ground a cool and penetrating aroma, the scent of the dry soil saturated... ~Daily Telegraph, quoted in A Cyclopædia of Nature Teachings, 1892

Another Lovey Dovey
this time in wool, the
other is a little too long,
but I think it will work.

I've moved on to the
last of my Mary Karr
stack and opened the
pages of Lit. This book
may turn out to be my
favorite!

A little giveaway if your
interested.

Joining up with Ginny
for this week's Yarn Along.
