Emma and a friend of hers stopped by for a visit today; the friend brought me red dinnerplate dahlias from her garden, absolutely gorgeous, just because. She likes to give flowers like I like to give knitting, which is why she owns a silk scarf from me done in Barbara Walker’s Dayflowers pattern; it was such a perfect match.

I was all ready. Emma’s granddaughter had brought her that soft Suri Dream baby alpaca scarf, so, now I had the second one all finished for Emma to give one back to the kid. They could be twins. Emma thought it was a total hoot. Grandmas are cool.

I had a quick errand to run at the post office today. I didn’t think to bring my camera, this blog being such a new thing. I wish I had: the road runs quietly alongside the marshes at the edge of the San Francisco Bay, and there was a small flock of pelicans, a number of egrets, and a few mallards keeping them company. Paddling in the water, diving for a fish, circling around each other a bit. Absolutely beautiful. God’s knitting: in, around, out and up, repeat.
