The clouds roll in, and cover the sky - a blanket of grey hangs overhead with just a sprinkling of rain. The earth is sodden and the air crisp, although today I can't see my breath as I exhale.
A day spent inside, looking out - the skeletons of my birch trees glistening with rain drops.
A home filled with love, and warmth, and the aroma of freshly baked muffins.
A morning spent with friends - the sounds of laughter and the smell of coffee. Children running, and playing, the echos of important conversations in little voices float from the hallway.
An afternoon of quiet - my friends have wandered to their homes, and my baby is asleep (although I fear he's almost not a baby anymore). I pick up my yarn and hook and begin to watch my work grow - something for the Niche Market. The stitches are beautifully defined, the piece soft and grey - a little darker grey than today's sky.
Although I look out the window - the rain has stopped and the sun is glowing through the clouds. Maybe there will be a little color in my day afterall x
I love the way you tell these stories....

Sounds magical! I still think you should do a book, your way with words includes the reader to the point that they can visualise it happening to them. Have a fantastic weekend cuddles up inside with your loved ones. Talk to you soon. xxx (off to play with the camera!)

The clouds roll in here too, the air turned icy and down came the rain. We were inside -happy and warm. Cups of tea and some balls of wool. A chicken and mushroom pie in the oven and a lemon delicious for afters. Perfect.
