Holiday Blues

We have a soggy holiday in our forecast, and people are changing plans to accommodate the weather conditions.  The first wave of storms rolled through last night and left many without power.  Today is not a good day for a bike ride, cookout or fireworks.  

And it's not a good day for the beach.  I've already shifted gears . . . it will be a good day for knitting.  My Longjohn Socks are almost finished, and I'm considering colors for my next pair of socks.

With the choice of either Beach Bum or Sea Breeze, I'm creating my own beach day.  

I found this week's color inspiration at the farmers' market.  So striking.  Even if I didn't like beets, I would have bought them.

Perhaps colorwork mittens . . .
