How's that for an original sentiment in July? I was at Stone Mountain today, spinning in the shade under the porch. (It was hot there too.) I was wondering why I met hardly any other spinners when I was doing demos when a lady and her husband walked up and started asking intelligent questions about my wheel. Then the husband volunteered that his wife was a spinner.
How about that, eh?
She has an Ashford Elizabeth, a Traddy and a Joy. I asked her if she was on Ravelry (no, but she'd heard of it), and we talked shop for a while. Cool.
Later in the afternoon, there was a cute kid (maybe 3 years old) who came and sat beside me and asked lots of questions. She (I thought) had a gorgeous huge curly head of hair, and she asked me to guess what her name was, and volunteered that it started with an "E." After guessing Emily and Elizabeth, I was informed that HE was NOT a girl.
Oops. I promptly apologized and offered in my defense that a) I'm not around kids much, b) the hair fooled me and c) I'm an idiot.
Oh well. Can't win them all.
Tried stepping out on our screened in porch briefly today but I started to melt.

It was just too hot today. I was out this morning. When I got back in the AC, I never stepped back outside. You're very dedicated to sit outside and spin in this heat!
