It's growing anne wrote this in the early afternoon: the skies are intent on sending rain today-the tension is in the air, and the light is extremely flat out there, but it hasn't started yet. the bleeding hearts are poised to receive a shower. each hosta point has a droplet of water, but i'm not sure if it's condensation or if it comes from the plant itself. i sorta wanted to taste it but then i forgot. and seemingly overnight, the astilbe have poked out from underground, looking as if they'll be lush and full this year. inside, we had our spinning class this morning. i began working with this gray alpaca from this is a gorgeously-prepared superfine alpaca top. it would be perfect for laceweight yarn if i was in the mood to spin that, but having just come off a long-term spinning project, i'm more inclined to spin something at a heavier weight. i think this will make a nice, fuzzy DK weight yarn for a super-soft hat or scarf. i've been completely monogamous in my knitting for the last.    From Wordnik.com.  [knitspot] Reference
