Spring was moving in the air above him and in the earth
below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its
spirit of divine discontent and longing. ~ Kenneth Grahame
"divine discontent and longing" - such a perfectly sad phrase. On a lighter note, I have, somewhere, an old British knitting pattern for largish badger, mole, toad and rat toys.
I'll look. We moved. My 12x18' sewing room is now a 6x13' closet sized room, and I'm still sorting/stuffing things in there. If/when I find it, I'll definitely share.
My late husband's all time favorite book...which he read to me when we first began dating...and I read from for his going Home service until I got to his favorite quote..."there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as messing about in boats...just messing..."
