morning light


 


my warping board seems to become a coat racks when not in use


This morning I woke with no regard for the clock
and turned on some of my favorite music.
I pottered about, feeding the fish and the cat with a coffee in hand,
straightened up a bit and then pruned and watered my windowsill gardens.

Later in the day I sat down with a cup of apple cinnamon tea
and a book I've been trying to finish for a week...still not done.

Then some knitting and the ripping out of a sweater that took me three
months to complete but was a couple of sizes too big and looked ridiculous!
I don't properly swatch my projects and over estimated the size that would fit me.
An optimist would say it's like having all new yarn to begin another project!

The photos are of my meanderings around the apartment.
The black/blue/red jacket in the last pic was thought to be lost,
I was so over joyed upon finding it I hugged it like an old friend.

I perfectly lovely day…
Hope yours was too.

Lions and a Priestess







I never really noticed before just how many lions there are in 
the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Here are just a few that I was able to photograph.

The very lovely Priestess Tagerm is positioned
inside the Temple of Dendur.

Tuesday and tulips


                        I bought some tulips the other day
                        at first they were aubergine
                        now they have faded to magenta
                        very lovely none the less

                        the sculptures are by a Czech friend
