Gifts Everywhere You Look

Without so much as a by-your-leave yesterday afternoon, while I wasn't paying enough attention, thunderclouds were brewing. 

About the time Hub Man got home, the hail started. Then some thunder! Then this:

Oh how I have waited and waited for the rains to come again! 

It was glorious. 

I gave thanks to God for such a blessing. 

This morning it is still overcast and it drizzled a bit while I took the dogs for a run. They didn't care a bit. We all got wet together. That was glorious too. 

After breakfast I finished up my little felted bag. I have been saving ends of yarn and one half skein of wools that I thought might work together somehow. Of all the things I make, for some reason, the leftover yarn ones just tickle me. It's like the old fashioned quilts people used to make. They were projects of necessity. And because of that the serendipity levels were also high. You never knew what you were going to end up with. 

When I was about half way finished knitting this bag, I knew what it was. And now that I know, I have become very fond of it.

 This, my dear hens and chickens is a real 'Hobbit 'Tater Pouch'.
 I figure Samwise Gamgee would have this in his pack in case he was given a pair of Conies to cook up while in the wild. 

So here you have it. My Hobbit 'Tater Pouch:

 Come to think of it, I even have home grown potatoes to put in it. 

I live in the sub-ub-burbs, but I think I'm half wild anyway.

    Rain Rain Rain. Don't go away to come another day. Stay Stay Stay.

    Clouds looked promising yesterday afternoon, but the liquid blessing didn't hit here until sometime during the night. Oh, and the much lower temperature that came with the rain!!

    I like your potato bag.


    Bless

    Rain smells so good after so long a dry spell, it just feels so good and all the srubs and tree's are singing.
    At last the big painting is underway and the dust storm from sheetrock is over. The basement project is taking shape and was really wearing us down.

    We didn't get any hail, but it sure did rain! Great, heavy drops that continued for a long time. We ended up getting about an inch of rain. I hear we are getting more this weekend, too.

    what a gorgeous photoshoot
    I have always thought that there was something magical about photographing through a window or a door
    maybe because it sets up the tension that we could be viewing through another door or window- I dont know

    the bag is gorgeous - you are so talented

    Hi... for days I was enjoying your new fall background - fall-colored, fat pumpkins and squash ... then I noticed something that looked like a tail ... then an eye ... oh me! It's not the pumpkin patch after all ... it's cinnamon-red and gold horses' rumps and black-tossing manes :)

    Beautiful!

    I love the archway(wonderful framing) and the tree and grass in the rain. Coloring is great....romantic and relaxing atmosphere!!!

    I am preparing potato salad and will pretend the 'taters' were given to me by Samwise from his beautiful 'Tater Pouch'!
