A fine day.....
I am still in my church clothes
having visited with my youngest daughter when I got home
and then our youngest son arrived to perform
his magic with the treadles
on the Glimakra -
(this is done with a couple of soft pillows
and a strange craning of the neck,
which I am no longer
able to accomplish, it seems!!)
So now it is tied up in proper fashion
and I can weave the overshot pattern
I have been so admiring
in the last little while.
While he was doing this I put on my apron
and made some new-to-me
double chocolate chip cookies!!
Lovely for a rainy day
with a nice amber tea.
It has rained most of the day
which makes the garden plants sigh with pleasure
(as I have said before)
and the woods much more immune to the dangers
of the wild fires that have been so prevalent
these last few years.
My son-in-law found some Alyssum for me
down at a garden spot in Cawston
so now I can edge everything with it's small delicate flowers
and it's beautiful familiar scent.
I have been thinking of gardens past
and bemoaning the fact that I have
no lovely blue linum (or flax) in this
town garden,
and wondering where I might find some!
Perhaps an appeal on Facebook
and someone might have a little slip
that they would be willing to divide.
I love blue flowers,
but perhaps the pure linum shade
touches me more than any other.
I think it is time to go and make some hot chocolate...
take Bruce out for a romp in the garden,
and snuggle up in bed with The Digital Undertaker
(which I have been reading
to encourage me to sort through this great, huge
accumulation of STUFF that
keeps me company in this small house!!!!!!)
Nighty-night!!
(In other word, Good Night to all ----
where did Nighty-night come from ???
Out of the past, no doubt,
when it was whispered to small children
with a hug and an endearment!)
