With Heigh, Ho, the Wind and the Rain

This afternoon, the view from our bedroom windows was this --

The photo doesn't even do it justice, the intensity of the green lushness on the hills, the clear cleanness of the air, and the movement of the clouds after the rain.  (This is Aberdeen to the left, Mt. Nicholson in the middle, and Central and Wan Chai to the right.)

We went back to Paris Cotton Singlets in the afternoon, looking for this Jaeger booklet,

but it was apparently the only one they did not have, so I ordered it online later from Woodland Woolworks.  I've coveted the cardigan version of this cover pattern for a long time....

And here is Ostrich Plume so far --

Sorry for the rather ghoulish lighting, but in fact by the time I took this photo, the scene from the same window was pure white.  We are truly up in the clouds here.

That view is breathtaking! Sigh, when I look out my bedroom window all I see is the windows of my neighbour's house. I don't think my poor neighbour is doing too well with the view either since all they see are my windows :)

It IS nice, isn't it. We're very lucky. It's the trade-off for not being in town. We have to take a bus or taxi to get anywhere non-hiking-related -- but then sometimes just looking out the window is all you need.
