Gray Skies
This is the time of the year when you cannot take for granted what an outdoor thermometer reads. It may be a 42 degree reading but in the open with the raw winds it is more like . . . “Get a warmer jacket on for Pete’s sake.” And that is what I did this morning as I headed out for my walk. The trail I have been taking is a by-pass out to the industrial park. As of tomorrow the open field along the trail that the city owns will become the command center of a huge road and street project. My luck all they would find of me would be a turquoise smear of what had been me wearing my jacket as a huge self-propelled earth mover had mowed me down. The Canadian Geese that have kept their vocal cords tuned up honking at me while I passed their way will surely get a workout from all the commotion of the construction site noise. I must say they were a bit touchy.
To keep my life balanced I have dove into trying to work up some fabric in my stash. Peach not being my color will provide
me a chance to make some blankets for the three great grands that live north of Duluth. Boring peach has just gotten a dose of lime green. It can serve such a better purpose than being stacked on a shelf – way to the back of the shelf as I would pick out some of my more favorite colors to work with. I did check the color wheel and this was what I thought would be the most appealing to three little girls to take along to their summer cabin. They do quite a bit of the evening fire pit before bed time. Can’t have too many cover-ups from the chilly northern nights.
Dennis is off visiting his buddies, who both happen to be in the hospital here in St. James. By the time he returns I will have selected some soup for our evening meal. What with my birthday this last weekend, we should kind of push back from the table a bit and have a few lighter meals. Dang that is hard to do. It isn’t really all that painful and I know myself well enough that if I am working with fabric, I dare not snack in between meals as clean fingers are a must. Catch ya tomorrow.
