One :: The first snow of the season happened last night. It was thrilling, wild, and lovely--and, a little frightening; it's so early. Since such things have been recorded in Boston, it has only snowed in October four other times. Thankfully it was just a dusting :-)
Two :: I am cleaning out my basement. There are seven people in my house, and it's the place where things land when people think they still want something, but they don't want it now. I've been at the job for two days, and I'm not done yet. There are spiders down there. And centipedes. :-0
Three :: Tea and cake are nice.
Four :: I wish that the yarn I chose for my Tea Leaves Cardigan was not such a dark shade. It is really difficult to see the pretty yoke details. However, I do love the yarn and the color. It's darkest plum with lovely tweedy speckles throughout. The rows in the yoke are l o n g. I can't wait to separate the sleeves tonight.
Five :: Bunnies make great pets. Our English Lop is gentle, affectionate, funny, and sweet. I wish that I hadn't hesitated so long to get a rabbit. I had heard nothing but bad things about them: they are stupid and bite and scratch. Lies.
Six :: I picked up Village School by Miss Read at the library this week after being reminded of Miss Read's books by Kyrie in her lovely blog series on the ordinary arts. I want to read the whole Fairacre series this winter.
Seven :: Is there anything better than a bowl of hot, buttery popcorn with a steaming cup of hot chocolate while watching a favorite television show?
My daughter A made this creepy, chocolatey, Halloween cake today. Yum!
Linking with Jennifer today for 7 Quick Takes Friday.
