As Jo says, “Christopher Columbus!” What a great day this has been so far!

First, there was the park. A nice, long walk with Mom and Chappy on a beautiful autumn morning. I took lots of Saturday Sky pictures to share with you:

I think you get the idea, right?

  Beautiful day. (As seen through my car’s sun roof.)

  Chappy was thrilled.

But then, it got even better!

  Look who came calling. It’s Christopher Columbus himself, via the Yarn Aboard II trade route.

  He brought quite a cargo, via Illinois, where his cargo master was Lorinda. Just . . . wow.

  I mean, really, look at all this loot! (Er, I mean, trade goods. He’s in enough trouble with the natives as it is.)

  First, he brought some of Scout’s Handpainted Swag sock yarn, in the “Harlot’s Mums” colorway, which is oh, so pretty. (The picture’s a trifle blurry, but the colors are pretty accurate.) So. Pretty. Lorinda said it was hard to part with it, and I believe her!

  There were some cinnamon-apple-scented goodies. And M&M chocolate-flavored lip gloss.

  And–wow–a B&N gift card as an early birthday present, bookmarks, and she gave me the year’s subscription to Wild Fibers magazine that she won as a prize from Cara’s Spin Out.

  There were even goodies for Chappy-boy himself.

   Which he very much appreciates!

Thank you so much, Lorinda!

Now, I just need to show Chris (he said I could call him that) around a bit and then send him on his way with a fresh cargo . . . I hope his next port of call is as happy to see him as I was.
