Variant on the summertime blues

[flemmings]

The weather has been beautiful: sunny, cool, dry. Blue skies, singing cicadas. But I seem unable to parse beautiful August weather any more. It makes no impression and leaves no memory. Today however the clouds moved in and the world went faux-autumnal grey; and at once I felt my outlines firming up, as it were, and the world turning rational again.

This evening there was woodsmoke on the air, and then it was perfect.

On an admittedly very tangential note, I got some of this fabric on Saturday at the quilt show:

Heavens, how elegant! And such lovely colours.

A quilt with Heian gentlemen on it will have to join the to-sew list, and I will need to watch out for some more fabric in browns and golds to go with it. ;)
