Reappearance of the sun

The weather gods have smiled upon us poor damp souls today. We awoke this morning to sunshine streaming through the windows and bright blue skies above us.

In an effort to dry our attitudes out, we ventured out for a walk at a local park. Downed limbs, uprooted trees and puddles of water were scattered along the path. The storm had taken its toll on that area. I don't think I truly realized how much damage the bad weather earlier in the weekend had done until I saw the damage at the park.

This afternoon brought a baby shower, yard work and a marathon of Flip This House. (Life at Chez Ragged is cutting edge, never doubt that.)

Despite torrential rains, tornado sirens, flooded basements and lack of sleep, it was a relaxing weekend overall. I even managed to get some knitting done, wrapping up a felted bowl and two spiral rib bags destined to be Christmas gifts. If you wanna see them take a look at the Finished Projects section.

Above is a shot of a mum on our porch, the one thing that benefitted from the wet, damp weather.
