grey day go away...

today is sooooo

grey

the kind of grey that hurts the eyes

the sharp grey of winter

the dark stripes of the naked branches weaving the cold wind together

the lights have to be turned on earlier 

and

the night lights don't actually go out on days like this..

cups of tea are welcome to warm the hands if they stay still too long

but autumn isn't that far away yet

 and 

we still have the colours around

and a little sun to bring a smile

:)

and look, a pineapple as well

it has actually turned into a real live tiny version of itself

and it smells divine

!!??!!who knew!!??!!

I wonder if I plant the top

 will it grow on?? 

 here and there the colours of the coming season are creeping in.

and as always

there's the yarn and various needles and hooks to keep us occupied

on these grey grey days

and it'll be Solstice soon 

so the light will start to come back

!!!!!
