Grateful

Today I am feeling grateful for friends. I met up with two Momfriends at Cloud City Coffee yesterday-they have an area with toys for kids and good treats and chai and coffee. We had six kids from age 1 to 8 and kind of took over the place, but all was very pleasant. How nice to have a weekend with no scheduled plans and to be able to just catch up and talk. I love summer but it is such a busy time. We've had rainy mornings and cooler temperatured here in Seattle and it is really feeling like fall.

We are also really LOVING the new Community Center/Library/playground near our house. Our neighborhood really needed a gathering place that wasn't totally commercially based

I wish I had my camera for the view out my car window yesterday of a patch of green green grass with yellow leaves evenly dispersed all over it, such a Seattle moment. One of the things that makes up for the gray, gray winter sky is how green it stays here all the time.

I am working on my Mason Dixon Log Cabin Blanket for my daughter (I haven't thought of good blog names for the kiddos yet) in Knitpicks Shine. It is soooo soft. Since I have no photo to post I will post this Gee's bend quilt for inspiration.
