Although I am not planning to give up my present love (Rowan yarn), I have to confess that I am smitten with two others: Ozark Handspun and Be Sweet yarns. I plan to use all three when making Christmas gifts this year for my daughters.
British royalty fans will want to check out the July 20th posting of the Be Sweet Blog and the instructions for the shawl that Kate Middleton wore recently.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there,
He once was a true love of mine.
by Simon and Garfunkel
I found myself singing Scarborough Fair as I readied my pots for an indoor herb garden.

Sliding a wave removes our brains out of the ordinary and slips us into the extra ordinary of being there now. No more worries about mortgages or strife of being poor or rich. When you enter the domain of an ocean cylinder, that moment, those split seconds belong to the Zen part of just being. Period.

To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh… – Rachael Carson

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
by Lord Byron
I wonder what this child is thinking as she looks out on this vast sea…

NOW list to my morning’s romanza – I tell the signs of the Answerer;
To the cities and farms I sing, as they spread in the sunshine.
