Saturday...in the dark (no, it's not the 4th of July)

Terribly sorry for that sad-sack reference to "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago...it just popped into my head. I was looking out the office window at almost 7:30am on a Saturday morning and it was pitch black outside. I couldn't even see the maple tree in the front yard. Of course this could have more to do with my lack of glasses than darkness...

On a Saturday! What a pity in midwinter dark that I should be up and around before 7am. Isn't there some law of Midwestern hibernation? But no. I was wide awake. So I have been snerting around on the web. Here's what I found:

1. A funny brainworm...

2. Today's Poem from the Writer's Almanac

3. My friend Melissa's blog: Whimsy. [Hiya M!]

4. My secret science addiction

That's as far as I got before I posted here. I'm sure I'll get on to Ravelry soon...but that place is a mammoth zone for eye candy. Once you're in, you lose track of space and time. I was sucked in for four hours yesterday without even realizing it.

Would you look at that...pink sunlight through all the grey gloom of cloud. Morning is here!
