Monday Miscellany

It's still Monday, although barely as far as I am concerned.

1. We've had some stunning sunsets lately.  Driving home from a meeting this evening I thought the colors of the sky echoed the oranges of the leaves, but by the time I got to the house and managed to take a photo it was too dark to see anything but the colors in the sky.

2. I was about to donate, or more likely discard, this nifty little tool because I had never figured out how to use it.  However, I mastered it this weekend, using it to open a bottle of Sauternes that had otherwise proved immune to the efforts of any corkscrew or fancy wine opening device.  Now, I love this little thing.

3. I've resumed work on that summer sweater.  I never intended to abandon it, I just somehow stopped knitting. Unpacking knitting patterns has inspired me to pick it up again.  In fact I'd rather be knitting right now.   

I'm going to cut back on the writing, but not stop.  There will be at least three posts a week, but I'm not quite sure what the schedule will be, if there will be a schedule.  I know now that I will keep writing, but I need to find time to knit and explore other parts of this quieter side of myself.  I know I've been ignoring it. Now the goal is to find the write balance, which is probably more a cyclical thing with ebbs and flows, than it is a regular clockwork mechanism.
