Tennessee is beautiful and makes me reconsider my thoughts on summer

Here in the lovely state of Tennessee, I am rejecting the gentle summer weather and knitting with a fiercely fall colored yarn. While summer in Texas is best compared to a blast furnace, summer in Tennessee is warm days with cool nights. Summer in Tennessee is the sort of place where lace shawls are in the picture for the evenings, and where fireflies dance at night. A part of me is sorry that I am not using something like the lovely yarn I scored at the yarn store today-

all blue and green and cool and summer. Yet, I have learned to enjoy seasons when and where I can, so my lovely spill of colors continues to amuse and delight me. While it looks rather strange now, this will become a scarf/shawlette made of wedges. I can't wait to come up with something suitable to wear it with!

In other news, I bought myself a 'Southern Lady Wallet' at the cool lunch room/store full of booths with way to many cool things in them place we went yesterday. I love the hot pink at the edges, and the way so much fits in such a slim space. Yes, I am a southern lady deep in my heart! Now I just need to find the right kind of purse...
