YARN ALONG

There is that in the glance of a flower
which may at times control the greatest
of creation's braggart lords. 

~John Muir

It has rained here for
days and days [sigh] giving
me time to make dozens
of hearts, finally getting
the size I needed, using
size 00 needles and #10
crochet thread were
the perfect combination.

I finished Mike's boot
socks and attached
a little heart to the
back of each one,
giving them a little
somethin'-somethin'
because they are for
Valentines and I want
them extra special, even
if they are going to be
tucked in work boots
all day.

Reading this week is a reread
to make sure I remember all the
high lights of Upton Sinclair's
The Jungle. I am deep into the
horrible conditions of the stock-
yards and meat packing plants
during the time of the Industrial
Revolution.
