summer extremes

 It’s not quite seventy degrees today. And by that, what I really mean is, it’s thirty degrees cooler than it was yesterday. 

it was not this hot - the sun beats on it in the pm

I finished my firefly dress; I was going to wear it tomorrow to work - now I hesitate. Is seventy one degrees too cool for sleeveless? Probably, especially after such a cool, damp day.

it's a maxi

I had such a time getting the armhole binding to flatten out.


Wetting it, then pressing, over and over, to gently stretch the fabric. Patience and persistence were what I needed.


Last night's sunset -


I actually had to close my windows tonight - it's cool, and damp, which makes it feel colder.

  1. It's cooler where you are, and warmer here! I love the fabric of your new summer dress -- and I'm wondering if you wore it, and if you were uncomfortably cool...

    Happy Weekend!

    1. I did not wear it, and when I got to work it was so stuffy, I regretted it. But later, the AC went on and I was cold. :) A constant topic of conversation at the library - too cold, too hot.
