It was clear to me when my alarm rang that this was the ideal day to stay in bed with a good book. The sky was dark with storm clouds and leaves cascading down from the Brandon Oak tree outside my window.
But I have 10,000 things to do today including my class proposal for Quilt Festival in Houston next October. (What would you like to learn at the Festival next year? How to win the big money in the quilt show? I sure wish I was qualified to teach that!)
One student in my color class brought a bolt of medium grey when asked to choose a fabric that had an emotional impact. She explained that she likes grey because she looks good wearing the color and when it is grey outside she gets to stay inside and sew!
Now we have driving rain and I am in the mood for soup. It is the ideal day to buy chocolate and it is traditional, here in California, for the newspapers to publish articles about water rationing.
