Go Away Summer


Dear Summer,

Please don't think I don't appreciate you, I have enjoyed your warm days filled with sun but now I would like you to go away. I am sick of your heat waves and scorching sun. You make me sweat and drain my energy. I know in February I will be asking you to come back but please don't hate me for being a fair-weather friend.

Mittens and a Spritzer


The weather in Boston has been oppressively hot and humid. It has zapped my energy, fried my brain, and my creativity has gone out the window, hence the shortage of posts. I have been trying to stay as cool as best as I can which brings me to a question, how do you stay cool during a heatwave? I have been locking myself away in my air conditioned bedroom as much as I can, drinking pomegranate spritzers, and knitting mittens. Yes, I said mittens. I constantly have to keep my hands busy and I have been trying to use up some leftover yarn before I buy anything new. The mittens will go with the slouchy beret style hats I knit in the early spring and never got a chance to wear. I can't wait for the brisk air in October. Autumn where are you?
