Summer is finally here!

It's been such a cool, wet spring that these 90+ degree days caught me by surprise.  The extra rain is continuing, though, so far, and that means the gardens (and grass) continues by leaps and bounds.
Since I'm not in the independently wealthy category, I started a job this week, and that's been different.  I'm about used to the earlier rising time, really not much of a chore with early summer sunrises beaming in the window.  I have managed to weave or do weaving related chores for at least an hour every night, and plan to put several more hours toward weaving this weekend.

I about have another placemat warp off, and will be winding tea towel warp this weekend for that loom.  The Newcomb still has totes on it, and weaving came to a standstill on that loom tonight when I ran out of sewn weft.  My sewing machine is in the shop.  Looms are very patient critters, though.  I'll put time and energy into warping tea towels until the sewing machine comes back.
