The View From Here....

   Simply sweet, lemony pretty- fine thread that just glows with spring. Sitting in the passengers seat as we took our monthly trip to the feed co-op gave simplyjen the perfect opportunity to work on her tatting. Here she shows me a sample of her lemon cream needle tatting piece. Her shuttle tatting piece is a soft turquoise blue; delicate and tiny (not pictured because- well, I was driving).
   Arriving home she sat in the open pasture near the old swing set; tatting as her mama goats nipped spring grass, nourishing the little ones they carry inside. Swift and sure her fingers became as the beautiful lace pieces become longer and stronger.
   Evening drew us indoors; wind chimes sounded as crickets sang through the open windows- still she tatted along; loops and sweeps...her tension even and sound. As devotions closed and hugs "goodnight" were shared, her hands rested from their work. The tatting lay still on the chair where she sits- I look and I ponder the view from here.....
