Earning Your Stripes

Here's those stairs again. Still out of the water, although the river mouth is wider than I've ever seen it.
A busy day for me: started out with a beach walk, then off to Friday knitting group where I started a new and interesting hat. It's the first time I have worked from a chart and I find the little symbols fascinating. I remember reading something recently about an artist, Ewan Gibbs, who uses a grid and these same symbols to create fabulous pencil drawings, no knitting required! After lunch it was time to move a pile of firewood up onto the porch where it will be easier to reach in the chilly evenings. Ah, and then I took out the remaining tomato bed: six gangly entertwined dying plants got moved to the recyling green can, and then the tall wire cages had to be cleaned off and the stakes put away. I'm done.
