perrrfect!

Yesterday was perfect.  Perfect, perfect, perfect…!  C left in the morning to go watch his mom for a day or so and I left to drive half way across the state to do some fibery kinds of business.  The drive was awesome, both directions.  The sky blue and cloudless and the air, this time of year, everything smells sweet.   (This morning I got myself out early, 5:30, it’s supposed to be a HOT one. I made it down the front walk and I stopped dead in my tracks just to smell the air, it’s amazing!) You can hardly imagine what newly mown hay and blooming lupine smell like.  Back to yesterday.. I lunched alone (it was late and no one else was in the place) at a really wonderful place I hadn’t tried before.  I ate so much that when I finally got around to dinner, it was easy, just about me.. a shot of tequila, olives and cheese.  Afterwards, I grabbed my paddle and headed onto the pond.  The breeze was up, again… perfect!  I read, I knit, I planted a few pots of flowers and sat on the deck.  It was just the day I wanted and needed.  after the last week or so, I was ready for a ‘me’ day, a rare thing to come by.  Here are the pics:

  I really am enjoying this scarf pattern.  It’s perfect (there’s that word again, tired of it yet??) for handpainted yarn.  None of those long stripes.  Here they make sense.
And one of the gardens..

Time to go water the garden before it get’s too hot to wear my bug proofing long pants.  With any luck this will be the last day I need them, maybe the heat will kill off the bloodsuckers.
