"No artist is pleased.
There is only a
queer divine dissatisfaction,
a blessed unrest
that keeps us marching
and makes us more
alive than the others."
(Martha Graham)
Today is my brother's birthday.
Happy birthday, Richard.
Life was meant to be lived,
and curiosity must be kept alive.
One must never, for whatever reason,
turn his back on life.

The Knitting Companion helped
me with some work-reading this week.
and, there was my new coffee
bowl along for a test-go on the porch.
Back to work now.
The Rowan Magazine number 40
has arrived here in Montreal.
There are some lovely things to be made
in this book.
I'm planning on some fingerless gloves
to be made this autumn.
Not yet though. Later.

i think this jar
with the blue circles is the cutest ever.
It's functional, cheerful & happy looking.

the Denim tips. You're terrific.
We saw seven different weddings
in the space of an hour.
I kid you not.
Not all one wedding; seven different
Occasions of honour.
Fancy dresses, fancy cars and fancy backgrounds.
Old cars, big cars, new cars.
There was even a horse and buggy event.
There were so many that we started to take photos
of them because of the sheer number of brides
and fancy dresses.
Yesterday, when the rain gave up,
i spent some time in the Old City of Montreal.
We visited the Basilica of Notre Dame (basilique de Notre Dame),
saw the monuments and many sights.
There are some wonderful things
to do and to see, at any time of the year
in the Old City/vieux port.
We got a lot more
than we bargained for.
I'll show details in the next post.
