Weaving, weaving
Sep. 27th, 2010 10:35 pmAnd I haven't even been drinking. Much progress on the remaining rug to be finished. With luck, I'll have it off the loom as early as tomorrow evening. It's called "Winter Sunset" and is a largely abstract design in white, beige, gray, and brown with a large irregular red spot near the middle. I'm really pleased with the thickness and the irregular bumpy texture that developed.
Cold enough this morning that the house windows were fogged inside, and we have double pane glass. The reading was about 41°F. It didn't get much above 60 all day, though at least the sun came out.
The crazy cyclamen plant that bloomed for a solid year and more 2008-2009 on my windowsill at work has started up again. When it finally went dormant I brought it home and let it rest, and Gary managed to wake it up again late this summer. It has about 20 red blossoms on it right now with more coming. I wonder if it will go nuts again the way it did before. There were as many as 40 blossoms open at once, and it just continued to produce them for at least 15 months continuously. I think the normally cool temperatures and morning sunlight at my window there were contributing factors. I also watered it with waste water from the aquariums, which I'll have to start doing again. The flowers are crimson, and the foliage is deep green with red veining, so it's altogether very handsome.
We think the hummingbirds are gone for the season now. Last week we were seeing as many as four at once, but it dropped off to singles by Friday and on Saturday we saw only one early in the morning. No sightings since then, at home or at work.
Now to bed, I think.
