walking in the rain
I don't mind walking in a drizzle. Boots, coat and hat provide the right degree of sepration from the wet. This year I'm adding gloves to my essential rain gear because my hands aren't in pockets; they're pushing a stroller.
S gets a little more protection. As soon as fall weather hit, I scurried out to find a rain coat for the stroller and a fuzzy, hooded sleeper for S. Doesn't she look cozy? Passers by often tell me they envy her ride, but I prefer a brisk walk along the leaf-strewn sidewalk, drizzle dripping off the rim of my hat.
Do you walk in the rain?

of pears and tomatoes
A couple of weekends ago, when we were outside, relishing our long-lived summer weather, the neighbours gave us big bag of pears from their tree. Tonight I hear wind galloping in trees and rain attacking the windows. What a difference. But the pears are ripe so I did a little more canning and thought of the stormy nights to come when we'll open these jars.

angel-wing pinafore
This dress was my nesting project. I crocheted it for S in the last two weeks before she was born, but only finished sewing the buttons on the back this evening. The pattern, scrounged somewhere online (forgot where), was for a newborn sized pinafore, but I used a thick variegated yarn and a chunky hook to up the size. At four months old, S is approaching big enough to wear this and the weather has cooperatively turned cold enough for sweaters.
I think it's the only thing I've made for S so far. That's disappointing, but it won't be the last.
