RIDE THE WIND

If you surrender to the wind,
you can ride it.

~Toni Morrison





This weekend it felt like spring,
the temperature was in the 80's,
WAY too warm for me for this time
of the year.

I watched the bees working hard,
and spied a bird's nest in the tulip
tree.

There was a warm wind blowing
that made for great cloud watching.

And while it may feel like spring,
I know winter is just around the
corner so I am preparing.

The Elderberry tincture has been
strained and bottle.

Wood and kindling are stacked
and I just waiting until I can
have a fire.

I finished Emerson's sweater,
[photo's soon] and I have cast
a few new projects.

Now I am just waiting for the
cold weather to arrive and stay
a bit.

Enjoy a peaceful start to your
week.
