rainy day

    

At coffee on Sunday morning.

Walter at the Children's Museum.

Out in the rain.

Fall treasures found on our walks.

It finally rained today. It was so cheery to listen to it tapping gently on our metal roof. Walter was excited and wanted to be out in it. He kept pointing towards the door. We took him on several walks and he laughed at the water coming out of the sky.

Can I be honest with you? Today was extremely wearing. I think Walter's first molars are coming in, and it is making him so irritable. He would not nap all afternoon, except for a couple ten-minute power snoozes. He is finally in bed, and I have collapsed in an armchair with a chocolate orange.

Oh, and I wanted to attempt my first link-up with Ginny over at Small Things.























I have begun knitting a baby sweater for Walter, which I am very excited about. I'm using wool remnants, some from a friend, some from thrift stores, and some (the lovely chocolate brown wool) that Matthew bought me from a fancy little yarn shop downtown. So far the sweater is coming along beautifully and I'm enjoying the work.

In early preparation for the Advent season (and because it takes me forever to finish a book, let's be real), I am reading Donkey Bells by Catherine Doherty. I'm only a few chapters in, but it is a beautiful and meditative read. 

                                                                                             
Goodnight,
