One of my Favourite Tree Ornaments, Clifford!

It's Hot Outside

Today would be one of those days, if I were eleven again, where my sister and I would set up the sprinkler in the backyard, lay out our towels on the grass, and bring out our favourite books while we pretended to be at the beach. Perhaps I'll do it anyways.

It feels like fall is nearly here at last. It's as though summer, with all it's sunshiny days, bored kids that stay at home, and students who have just hit a turning point in their summer jobs where they're starting to find it boring, has finally seen the benefits of turning over a new leaf and has let a hint of autumn freshness reach us. I can now eat my steaming bowl of tomato soup in peace. Think I just followed a run-on sentence with a out-of-the-blue advert for Campbell's Soup? Think again. The Soup is Great Value brand. But in all honesty, I'm stoked that it's almost time for me to wear sweaters and scarves and drink tea without breaking out in a sweat. Please find above a photo of my new favourite pastime: Knitting. Useless as it may be, I'm now one step farther in my Christmas gift-ing than you are.

Ce que j'ai fait ce printemps...

An Old Feeling About Colour

être dans les patates.

"I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.

I was imprisoned in the earth,

whose gates lock shut forever.

But you, O Lord my God,

snatched me from the jaws of death!

As my life was slipping away,

I remembered the Lord.

And my earnest prayer went out to you

in your Holy Temple"

Jonah 3:6&7

Summer again just a few posts later...
