I love seeing the blessing of God in the rich cultured earth here - beautiful cornfields and soybeans surrounded by trees are a favorite. Of course, the ditches are full of orange daylilies, purple coneflowers, brown eyed susans, queen anne's lace and bright blue "cornflower". It tickled me to see signs "Do Not Mow" in the middle of swaths of brown eyed susans every so often along a main street dividing some housing developements!

At the moment I'm reading The Hobbit and a collection of Poems by Paul Zimmer. That sweating you're working on is wonderful--great style, shape. I like the sleeve length. I have a knitted vest on the needles for my niece, as well as a simple poncho for me for fall. But too hot to knit just now--would you believe it's 95 F here today?! lol...
