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.

    We had warm weather here this past weekend too. It was in the 60s, which was wonderful. Winter is coming in full force tomorrow for us apparently. brrrr...

    It has been cold here too. I love showing off my knits. It's so interesting how a sunflower gives seeds.
