I am not a fan of summer. In fact, I downright hate it. The heat, the allergies, the bugs, the heat, the wildfires, the sweat, the heat, the humidity, the heat, the smoky air -- oh, did I mention the heat?
I think it came from growing up on a farm in South Dakota on the Vermillion River. Summer meant getting up at the crack of dawn to do our chores so we could go into the bean fields before it got too hot. My three brothers and I had to cut cockleburs out of the soy beans because there was no herbicide that would kill them without killing the beans. I hated it. I couldn't wait for school to start again so I didn't have to go into that heat. Maybe that's why I was such a good student. Put me in a classroom instead of a field. Still to this day, I don't garden.
So I am hunkering down in the cool of the Colorado mountains and knitting. However, it is supposed to hit 100 degrees today so it is not so cool anymore.
Anyway, check back for the next few days because I am going to post the hats and cowls I have been making this spring.
