my new hat



my friend Kat hand dyes a variety of wools, and I purchased this gorgeous hat that she knit - an incredibly soft, beautifully patterned alpaca wool slouchy beanie

holiday house



I have some neighbors who go crazy decorating their house for every holiday - here is their Valentine's Day decor.  This photo does not do it justice, but it is pretty spectacular.  I admire people who go to this length to decorate, as it is as much for other people, and strangers at that, as it must be for their own pleasure.  Good karma.
