what to do with a day that gets away...






friday is my domestic day - house cleaning, big laundry including the sheets and towels, bread making. and i always hope for time to get some work done -spinning or knitting etc. but yesterday got away from me. i woke up later than usual, had a confereence call that was longer than i thought it would be. other phone calls - business to attend to. tried spinning a bit because it was a lovely day for outdoor drying but didn't get far. only vacuumed half the house. very frustrating and felt i was going in circles. keith got off work early and it was such a beautiful day, that we dropped everything and drove up the humber river to little rapids. the trees in the valley are just beginning to turn. dropped in on kim who runs the greenhouse. bought a late flowering perrenial (i have one spot in my garden for a new plant). kim's growing a few vegetables this year (organic) so we got some tomatoes and cucumbers and sampled her grapes. getting out. seeing the beauty and the bounty of the season. it turned into a wonderful day...
