Sunny summer











A month ago (where did the time go?), Aileen came to visit. While she was here, I took her to multiple yarn shops (with some major stash enhancement) and to explore the city. The day that we went downtown was sunny (but hazy) and hot. As we walked around the city center, I was reminded of how interesting the architecture is here. I had forgotten how varied the buildings are, and yet they work together well.

I have to say, it is wonderful to have a summer again. Last summer in Ireland was so rainy. Even during the nice summers in Ireland, they don't compare to summers here. However, now the sun sets sooner, there is a chill in the air at night, and autumn is coming...

Aww it was so much fun! Send some of that sun our way, please! We've had the wettest August since records began...

It looks like you both had a wonderful time! Glad you got to trek around the yarn shops and find your surrogate TIK ;)

Please, please, please send some sun to the Electric Picnic - we could really do with it drying up around here!
