I appreciate your thoughts and comments, friends. I know my angst-riddled ramblings sometimes make no sense; I try not to post them here but now and then they spill over. I am never going to be done taking pictures. I'm looking forward to many more artful and spontaneous creations, both with a camera and without. And enjoying the freedom to be inspired by a pile of leaves and four handsome faces!
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
How fun -- I love that first photo! Your hubby looks like the green man. Or leaf man. Or whatever they call that ancient leafy guy. Your photos are gorgeous -- as always!
