It's HOT, so I'm reading and creating...

I woke this morning looking and feeling like Charles Laughton in a dressing gown. I don't know if it's the heat and humidity, but I haven't been able to roust out of bed until almost 7:00a.m. of late--maybe it's the heat and humidity? So Un-Minnesota like, our weather. At least the Asiatic Lillies in the back yard apparently like it. They've popped out in the last two days. As for me, I am GRATEFUL for air conditioning. I don't want it on all the time, but when I do, I do!

 

I'm still slogging through Winds of War. My ipad reader says I'm 61% done. I'm not complaining; it's a good book. I'm learning more about WWII and specifically the German personality. At least from Wouk's view. One Year to a Writing Life goes back to the library today. I may buy it. (can't check it out for an entire year, ha ha ha). It's quite good. Linda thought so too, and wrote it in her little book of to-reads, to-dos, to-sees because in less than a month she'll be RETIRED. Yay for Linda.

Next in my reading stack is The Obituary Writer and I'm thumbing through The End of Overeating and so far, I can't say I'm learning much I didn't already know. I have several books going at the same time, which is weird I admit. But I've always done it. It's a mood thing.

Working on another Alabama Chanin garment--which is tedious and time consuming but it's a pain I must enjoy because I keep coming back to it. This one is so different even though I'm using a stencil I've done before, because the black and white knit is such a contrast. Not sure I'm going to love it.

This is on my work table as well...an Anna Maria Horner print from Crafty Planet.

 

So Laura is home tonight, be so good to see her. I have to dream up something good for dinner. It's the end of dining on popcorn with Jameson and ginger ale for me. Well, the popcorn, anyway.
