This Wednesday has really snuck up on me…most days seem to be sneaking up on me lately while we are lost in the joy of newborn days.
I finished (more like devoured) The Help this week. I enjoyed it so much and have already added it to my “to gift” list for Christmas. After putting it down I needed a new book to enjoy during all of these nursing sessions so I started in a book I’ve had out from the library after reading about it at over in Leah‘s space. Better Off is the story of a couple who decided to live off the grid for a year to see whether technology has actually made life better or easier. I’m intrigued by the premise and am enjoying the story as they learn to grow their own food, preserve the abundance and labour with a sense of deep satisfaction in the work they are doing.
Knitting has been a slower endeavour as I’m most often found in the position above with a babe in arms but I have been making some progress on the puerperium I started last week. I sized it up a little and in my less than accurate way I think I’m knitting a sweater that won’t fit until she’s two – although at the rate she’s growing it may be more like next month. There are longies and more shorties in the plans but lately my head has begun to swirl with my (idealistic) Christmas knitting list. The planning is half the fun in my opinion.
Tomorrow is peach canning day so I’d better get my rest!
