Stitchin’ and singin’ in the rain…
Posted in About me, tagged colors, loving the rain on April 28, 2009 | 9 Comments »
It’s been raining for three days in Milan. As usual, everyone’s fed up…
This seems to be the “normal” response to rain everywhere — for all but farmers with parched crops.
I, on the other hand, LOVE rain. Really. I’m even sad when it ends. And one of only two defects I see when I think of [...]
