I finished crocheting a mandala for Mom last Saturday. We went to the NJ Sheep and Fiber Festival on a whim on Sunday. I swatched for a new knitting project on Monday.

I feel like the summer just started, and yet we’re only a few short weeks away from pumpkin latte season. I’m starting to feel a little desperate to make sure I’ve availed myself of enough summer joy while it’s still here.
