Greens Galore

I had a request for some greens from a fellow hooker, so I spent some time in the dyepots recently. Greens sure do have a lot of blue in them, blue that likes to make it self known!

Anyway, I got a nice batch of greens. As I was taking pictures of the wool, I decided to pair it up with nature scenes. What fun to find just the right photo and match it with the greens I dyed. Here is what I did.

Who would have believed...???

Who would have believed we'd have a hurricane in upstate New York??? Irene is now a tropical storm, but is still pounding us with rain and wind. Luckily, no major damage, just a lot of tree debris and a few downed trees in Saratoga. Still about five hours to go before this moves out. Power was out for only three hours, so we've been lucky so far.

I hate when the power goes out. One of these days, we have to invest in a generator. It's times like these that I realize just how addicted to the computer I am.

Hope all those along the east coast are coping alright. My family on the New Jersey coast came through just fine.

Take care.

The Road Not Taken

Just finished reading The Other Life by Ellen Meister. Here is a link to the Amazon.com page:



This book reminded me of the poem by Robert Frost called "The Road Not Taken." In the story, the main character finds a portal to a different life, and ultimately she must choose which reality she wants to live in. I got thinking about what would my life have been like if I had made different decisions during my college years. Couldn't quite grasp where I would be today without my husband, children, and grandson. Kind of spooky to imagine this. And yet, there is a bit of wonder about other adventures I might have taken. Wonder if I would have eventually found rug hooking in that other life!!

Do you ever think about lost possibilities?
