We had another beautiful, summer-like day today, all the more precious because it followed three days of gloom, and another week of gloom is predicted to follow. Tom and I drove down Lewis and Clark Road, to avoid the construction delays on the 101, and bought some candy at Bruce's in Cannon Beach.

I'm making a heavy wool sweater for Tom, completely inappropriate for the season. I didn't have any cotton yarn in stash, and didn't like what I saw in the yarn store in Cannon Beach. I did bid on some alpaca/cotton blend on eBay, so we'll know in a couple of days whether I'll be getting some summer-weight yarn in for Tom.
