a grey and rainy day

it was incredibly grey, wet and rainy this morning, so we thought it would be fun to drive to sag harbor. 

we went to the variety store where i found some lollipop pins for blocking the shawl when it's finished. we also wandered through book hampton where we found the second book in the austin family series that madeleine l'engle wrote. this one has been very difficult to find. there was no copy in the city libraries nor in the east end libraries. we happily bought it!

and then had tea and coffee at provisions, the health food store in town. we brought our own cookies (and sandwiches, which we ate in the car walking on main street-it was raining rather heavily!).

chanda wanted to read the book first, but i thought morgana should since she was the first to discover the series.

oh! 

when we got to montauk, we took the old montauk highway and stopped at the overview just before town.

morgana is always taking pictures now, with the camera her friend deychen gave her for her birthday.

 

  back at home, chanda made dinner.

 hare's pawspring vegetable soup!

 another delicious redwall meal.

after dinner, i did a lot of knitting before falling asleep.
