The Birds and the Breeze

I'm sitting at the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens, on a bench under a tree, taking in the beauty of it all.  I have time to kill before I head to my Thursday afternoon knitting group, at The Gaspereau wool shop.  It's a wonderful day for sitting outdoors, the breeze is cooler after last nights rain cleared the air a bit.   I stepped inside the Gallery on Main St. today to stare at a few of Alex Colville's paintings.  When we lose a talent such as his was, it seems more people become aware of it.  So now that I'm inspired,  you never know what may transpire.  I've finished my Oatmeal Pullover knit with Berocco Karma and now I'm continuing on with my Arc du Ceil sweater, knit with Noro.  Single ply yarns are cool to knit with because of the varied texture.  The piece changes with every stitch, throw in variegated colouring and it looks like a masterpiece.  There is not one person in my sight right now, more people should sit and contemplate I think.  The birds, and the breeze through the leaves, are very successfully drowning out the street noise.
