Dear Ellen,
Last week I shared some beautiful blues from Fair Winds. This week we have sunny orange, red and feathery white. I also found a gal with the most silky golden hair. Plenty of yellow, 
greens and browns, and lacy whites were around to inspire as well. Also a view of what an aunt must see when strolling through a lawn. (Max, Ruby and I took a trek through the corn.)
It was a very tough week with some announcements that will radically change my directorate — whether I agree or not, I’ll find a way to support. The part I am most disgruntled with is the lack of communication that there was between the decision makers and those of us charged with leading the affected groups. I’m thankful we went to the farm today where I was able to forget it for a while. Just being in nature was calming. (Chopping and burning helped too!)
And I finished the knitting of sock number two of my Tropical Gorillas. You can see I’ve got my chimney in place so I can do Lucy’s magic graft tomorrow and have a great new pair of socks. That makes me smile.
Love, Jan

in re: aunt’s-eye view - Which aunt? On our father’s or mother’s side of the family?
Regardless, the socks are great, and it is super to see you using the chimney. I will have to review my notes by the time I finish my next cuff down sock. Maybe I can ask you for help.

Sadly, the picture NEXT to the blond beauty is “me” in this dang humidity.
Love the nature shots… so different from this tropicalness. Some chopping and burning would have done one of us some good this weekend, too. xoxo
