on my doorstep

 
A rainy summer's day I saw this bunch of flowers outside my door. One of my neighbors had left for a vacation to Norway, but before she took off, she had gathered these peonies and roses from her garden and left them on my doorstep.
The roses give off the most lovely scent. And I have enjoyed them for nearly a week now. Even if the flowers have begun to wither away, they a still very, very beautiful.
So thoughtful and heart warming.
I have finished the hem of the Folklore Jacket and am about to begin the flower pattern. First I must make a skein of these colors, pull a thread 8-10 meters long from each skein, tie them together with a reef knot and wind up.
And for the main color, six shades of green, same procedure.
