August Happiness Challenge- Day 22 Tort report, knitting angst. that sort of thing

August has just roared by hasn't it?  I'm still spinning around at how fast the whole WEEKS are speeding by!

It's been a challenge to be find singular bits of happiness in this month but one thing that has truly made me happy is that it's been cooler, here, than last year.    We've been blessed with nights that cooled down below 65°F at times.  

The sky last night was beautiful as clouds from the Northwest , off the ocean, floated across the sky in small puffs as the sun was going down.  Every edge of these small clouds was transformed to a deep lilac as the last rays of sun sunk below the curve of the earth.   The air was balmy from the high of the day, and the whole effect was one of relief and peace.

Today, I got rid of major stuff in the messy end of the great room.  I hope to get a lot done this year but I won't say anything about it until it's been accomplished!  I'm trying not to give away things that I will need later and regret parting with.  Two desks that went, I really could have used better than the massive table that is still there.  Oh well, this is a dirty job but someone has to do it!

Tort Report:  Milagro is back in from the too cool nights.  DH found her sunning herself in the early morning sun.

Knitting Report:  I had to take the first rows back off the needles where the ties are joined to the fronts.  Had to is because I had a back to a front in one tie/front section.  After I did that it occurred to me that the ties didn't matter since they were, after all, in the right position.  Who on earth was going to look that closely?  Maybe a Knitting Nazi, but I just don't know any of those.
