There is something a bit magical in a summer's morning. Maybe it's the light, or the way the warm air carries the scents. Most days, I step outside, stretch my arms and take in the freshness even before I start the coffee. (Not much before, but.. before.)
That said, this morning was glorious. With coffee in hand, I went onto the deck with my new little inkle loom. One cup ran into another, so to speak. I can't begin to explain the attraction. It's fun to watch the colors blend and take shape. It just is.
It doesn't get much better than this. But, there was broccoli to cut, raspberries to pick.. and weeding. Back in the kitchen, the broccoli joined half a sweet onion, some garlic, mushrooms and feta in a quiche. Dinner done. I took the afternoon off and headed to the Old Stone House to spin. Such a lovely place, it feels like it sits on top of the world. My camera was in my bag. I had good intentions. Around 3pm the sky darkened and the rain started. The forecast was ominous, threats of high winds, heavy rain and the possibility of one inch hail. I left without the pictures.
* luckily, we only had rain, some had inches of huge hail and the wind.

Pretty inkle colors! Very nicely blogged from your cell btw. We got a quick moving storm an hour ago. Heavy rain and lots of thunder and lightening. Another small cell is approaching now.
Your deck looks like a fabulous place to drink coffee and inkle.
Sniff. I still miss Vermont. A lot.
Your deck looks very inviting. It makes me wish it was cool enough to enjoy our patio and our lake. le sigh…I’ll just continue looking out the window, here in the air conditioning.
Bring on autumn!
Crap. I knew I forgot something yesterday. Sigh…
That is a beautiful summer picture….and inkle band :)!
Aren’t these inkle bands like peanuts, or potato chips? Can’t stop at one! The Rowan Cotton Glace is working great, by the way. Are your edges getting better? Mine aren’t perfect, but much better on this band.
Looks wonderful. Wish I could be there, too. Beats the hosp AC, and crazy people, demanding surgeons, and can’t win days.
such a gorgeous spot – I can imagine that there are many of us who would love to be weaving out there on the deck 😉
what will you do with the narrow woven bands?
I would probably never be inside if that was my “deck surround” view! Simply gorgeous!!!
I’ve really enjoyed your blog, so much so that a friend picked up on all my blabbing and bought me a spindle. Now to look around for some roving, hope some local stores have it. I’ll be reading your previous posts to get a better idea of things.
That deck looks great, I wish that I could eat my breakfast there every morning.
The deck looks so peaceful and the thought of picking fresh raspberries – YUM!!! I too was just given a spindle and will begin the adventure of spindling. I’ll have to explore your posts to see your experiences with it. Everytime I read your posts on yogurt it awakens an urge to try making my own, eventually I’ll try my hand at that too. You really do inspire others to try new things!
I love those yarn colors – they look so beautiful together!
