Falling
November 12th, 2011
I snapped this picture last week while rushing from here to there through Washington Square Park. Perhaps it’s my imagination, but the leaves seem much more colorful this year. Usually they don’t get so vivid in the City. Something lacking in the fall weather I believe. But here they are, revealing at least a little of that vibrancy that makes the New England season famous.
It’s fitting that the local arboretums should put on their best this year, since it may be the last time I see fall colors for some time…
I Am Alive

Writing this on the run — no time to deliver my very good excuses for being silent over the past week. But soon, soon.
Until then, let the chaos continue.
More anon.

Darn It
November 1st, 2011
The last time I wore my favorite chemise, I noticed yet another tiny rip. So after washing it, I hung it up to remind myself to mend it. That was in early September. Yesterday morning, right before I needed to wear it again, I finally got around to fixing the hole.
This one was too small to bother patching, so I decided to try my hand at darning. Lacking proper darning thread, and working against the clock, I did it rather sloppily. It’s also really hard to see when you’re weaving thread over other thread!
It may not be pretty, but it’s barely noticeable when it isn’t magnified. And it certainly does the trick! I need to learn more about darning — and of course, practice, practice, practice.
