Chapeau




"Cat in a hat - in French it's chat chapeau - in Spanish, it's a gato in a sombrero." from Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess


I finished my hat. It's made from Noro Kureyon, which is a hand dyed Japanese yarn. It reminds me of a Maine sunset. Bring on winter. I'm ready.

It's only August 10th but I see summer as being over. I looked at my calendar to make plans to go hiking with a friend, and there is just 3 weekends left until September. I have Sunday meetings every week for my ministerial search committee, which seems to tighten my lazy weekends. I dislike all the meetings I have to attend, between work and church. It feels limiting to me. I suppose it's forcing me to be outwards when I really long to be safe inside somewhere.

Cute hat! That yarn sounds expensive, is it?

My dad wanted me to change his sprinkler timer to water less. I questioned why, August is the hottest month. I guess since school is starting next week he thinks fall is coming in. I did knock it down a bit though.

It is expensive, sadly. It's incredibly beautiful, though. It's best for smaller projects at $8.50 for 50 g. I bought it with some birthday money as a treat!

We'll get some hot weather again, I'm sure. School starts here in 2 weeks.
