when not knitting

~  rain fell, i dreamed it was snow
~  this exquisite magazine by amanda arrived in the post (and sweetest bookmark i won!)
~  we looked and looked for the rare gray hawk, he was not to be found, but this red tailed hawk was! thanks to these nice folk, we learned it is a light morph juvenile (within an hour of typing in my question, there were twelve responses, thank you awesome birders!)
~  mornings at a favorite coffee house 
~  i got sick, but it was brief and i'm better now, thankful
~  visits to the salt marsh and this lake nearly in our back yard. we sometimes forget it's here, even if it
is so close you can ride your bike, but you have to like hills.
~  a day of shopping with my mil, i have a new long flowery dress a so soft poncho and pretty scarf!
~  it's been so cold (for here) even buddha needs a shawl
~  a quick trip to the mission for a photo assignment
~  new wool in the mail. don't believe i've not been knitting, this post would be better named, knitting while doing assorted other things! tee hee.

* if you haven't entered this giveaway for gorgeous luna grey wool, there is still time. one last link,
this very moving film, shared by trish, it's about bees, but so very much more.
