It´s too hot...

First (and possibly last, because the allotment-
sharing arrangement came to a premature end...)
apple leaves results (quite nice golden tinge
on silk, not much on cotton)...













Don´t really have the patience for that kind
of embroidery, but thought I try it nevertheless,
for a change, and to relax from the skintingling
aversion I feel for hot weather...


"They'll spend the summer
crushing the garden--
a steam let off slowly."
