Juicy fresh peaches (not the hard-as-a-rock mealy imported-from-far-away things they call peaches at this time of year).

I have brown thumbs. Two of them. I cannot make anything I plant survive -- so I have given up.

A pale, pale straw yellow.

Also something bright to make the beautiful pale colors pop -- maybe a deep bright pink?

I can never remember jokes either. But there is one I remember from my childhood because I used to bug the adults around me with it all the time:

Me: Knock knock
Adult: Who's there?
Me: Banana
Adult: Banana Who?
Me: Knock knock
Adult: Who's there?
Me: Banana
Adult: [trying to be patient] Banana Who?
Me: Knock knock
Adult: Who's there?
Me: Banana
Adult: [getting a bit frustrated...] Banana Who?
Me: Knock knock
Adult: Who's there?
Me: Orange
Adult: Orange Who?
Me: Orange you glad I didn't say banana anymore? [easier to get if you say it out loud]

Groan.

How about Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'Love in the Time of Cholera' (a great (re)read on a cold winter's night)? If I can add a few more, I would say any novel by Robertson Davies (but especially 'The Rebel Angels') and any of the Inspector Rebus mysteries by Ian Rankin (the first (of 17) is called 'Knots and Crosses').

Definitely reading -- especially fiction. I have to learn how to knit and read at the same time!

I would make a knit-in-the round/steeked aran cardigan -- I can hear that yarn just begging to be knit into cables!

I'm going to try to balance my life more -- less insane work hours and then utter exhaustion -- more coming home at a sane time, having dinner with my husband, and knitting or reading a bit before bed!

High Point: Having a weaving teacher come over and help me fix up the loom I've inherited -- and then starting to learn how to use it!

Our whole family has a motto: "We've never met a carbohydrate we didn't like."
We're a little food-focused... :)
