make hay..

"Make hay while the sun shines"
Everyone has heard that old adage.  Around here, especially this time of year, it should be altered a bit to include, "while the full moon shines, and your head lights work". Days run into the night time hours.  It is cutting time.  Itinerant farm machinery arrived the other day.  Most of the neighboring fields are done this way.  Farmers have their cutting done, rather than invest in and keep up their own super expensive equipment.  The machines roll in, the machines roll out.  This year, just in time.

I woke to this view.  It is getting thicker by the minute.

I’ve got my knitting with me at the shop.  Between dye baths and skeining, I’ve got the second Monkey.  A stitch at a time.  (I’m full of them today)

The moisture shows off the girls handiwork.

No one gets much sleep this time of year.

  1. The Monkey looks perfect for your weather. I know you’ve had a cool summer but that fog looks so good after the continuing heat we’re dealing with.

  2. My view looks much the same this morning. Love the dewy web pictures!

  3. Manise

    Love your foggy Monkey socks!

  4. You know, I’m digging that solid Monkey. Goard monkeys may be on the horizon for me . . .

  5. Ah, I can’t wait for the fall and foggy mornings! I’ve been excited this week that our high temps are around 90, lows in the 70s.

  6. That first picture is particularly stunning. I never thought August could look like that…

  7. When I looked at that picture I thought “snow???” Then I realized it was fog. Duh. But still pretty. Looking at it made me feel much cooler than the 90’s here today.
