the morgan library and new york public library

new york public library 

patience or fortitude?

Last Saturday I took my own library tour of New York City.

The Morgan is my new favorite place;

complete with secret passage ways and tiers of walnut bookcases

it's intimate, mysterious and romantic all at the same time.

The New York Public Library was crowded 

but still a grand room to visit.

sigh…books

Today I went for a long walk and then sat 

in an open field and knitted all afternoon.

Along the creekside my beloved muscari were in bloom

and the blue birds have returned to claim a nesting box.

perfect

Happy Easter!

Yarn buddy Jenn texted me Sunday morning that our favorite LYS,

Conversational Threads, was having a sale of 30% off all clearance yarn!

Soon after the shop opened we met up at the back table 

to rummage through the goodies and both walked away

with enough yarn for two sweater projects each.

sigh…so much yarn, so little time…

happy knitting!
