Yesterday was a very nice day, but it didn’t happen until I got home. It was grey outside almost all day but it just couldn’t seem to rain. On the way home there was a smattering of rain, enough to make my filthy truck filthier, but the closer I got to the house the more sincere the rain became. Less than a mile from home it was a regular downpour but at the house ... nothing. I was disappointed, the yard is getting desperate and I’m on the verge of losing two trees. Hand watering has nothing on a good rain. My disappointed turned to excitement when I went to the mailbox and found a squishy package from Kim.
Inside, and ‘s’ magnet, an ‘ath’ (for Athens) sticker, and the most positively perfect pair of mitts ever! Seriously. They are very short in the wrist and I feel a little like a pugilist when I wear them, but that shortness is perfect for our climate. In a colder climate I’m sure you would want to cover your wrist but most of the time its only my hands (or toes) that are cold so I roll the tops of all the mitts my generous knitting friends have made for me. Not so with these. Positively perfect, I tell you. Kim, many, many thanks for thinking of me, you are just too kind.
And the day improved from there. It started to rain in earnest. Not a heavy, deluge, but a slow soft, on and off, rain. Just the sort we needed. This morning the birdbaths were full naturally for the first time in many months. And as I drove to work everything seemed a tiny bit greener, and that really made me smile.
