Misty

Despite the cold temperature and the enveloping, wet down to the ground fog we bundled up and took Spike up to the meadow. One of the few things I like about the mist is the photographic effect...an obscured background and ghost trees emerging somewhat eerily from the fog. It doesn't fit the theme but this picture is straight out of the camera so I might as well tag it for Mono Monday.

We didn't linger, making the circuit in record time and, seeing no one, hustling home where our house on the hill had emerged (temporarily as it turns out)from the gloom. I took back the purse I bought for myself because Dana bought me the same purse in a caramel color which I liked better than the black. Emilie, the woman who works there was happy to see it because she said that they flew out of the shop and she wanted it! So now she has the purse and I have a credit to find something else for myself.

I stopped by Dana and Jim's to return the jacket Jim left at our house and found her toiling next to the house with a little gadget she bought to clear the dryer vent of lint. This all started because our dryer isn't getting the clothes dried and we all speculated that it was probably lint. Never one to avoid a problem like that she ordered the gadget from Amazon, got it the next day and will probably bring it to us along with the ShopVac she borrowed from us. She had two grocery bags full of lint so I shudder to think how much is in ours....

The haar has returned despite the fact that the next few days were supposed to be getting progressively warmer. 

Still working on stars because I didn't like the first prototype. By the time I finish this coat I'll have enough stars to make a quilt, despite the fact that it was supposed to be the other way 'round...the coat made from an old quilt.
