Waiting for Thoreau

School is over and I’m making up for lost time. I’ve been going to bed at eight, getting up at my usual 4:30 a.m. to milk. The kicker is that I then go back to bed! When I wake up I read. In an evening I devoured my secret pal’s summer gift (she was a fifth grade teacher from school who’s been surprising me with lovely treats all school year), “A Knitter’s Home Companion,” by Michelle Edwards. I also polished off two knitting mysteries: “Death by Cashmere,” by Sally Goldenbaum, and “Dyer Consequences,” by Maggie Sefton.

I can’t imagine a better way to slip into summer.
