Nestled on my favorite couch under my afghan and quilt, autumn sun is streaming through the front window, illuminating golden leaves. The house is quiet with only two of us here, and the day has been both productive and peaceful. I biked to the library this morning to pick up the book Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew B. Crawford. Then I let myself into the sunny art building and spread out fabric to finally print the coral hydrangeas. Singing along to Sara Bareilles and Bruno Mars, I enjoyed the soothing rhythms of mixing inks, pulling screens, and setting them to dry. Work at the post office came this afternoon, but with campus so quiet, I was blessed with a moment to sit and look through hat patterns before silently closing up for the day. Now I'm here under my quilt, and I think it's the perfect opportunity for a nap. If only every fall weekend could be like this.
