We knotted two comforters at church yesterday and today. Usually we can knot two in a few hours, but July is busy for many people, and it took four of us a morning and part of this afternoon.
We all agree - we enjoy the zen-ness of the knotting, the repetitive motion, the easy conversation. Sometimes wondering where the comforters will go, who made the comforter tops, how much backing fabric and how much batting we've set aside.
This afternoon a younger member came in to practice the piano. Someone who helped last night with with the neighborhood community meal gathered up towels in the kitchen. Last night's summer meal was turkey and cheese sandwiches with lettuce and fresh tomatoes, chocolate chip bars with ice cream. Except for the ice cream, visitors took meals home for another meal today.
In the back yard local children have planted flowers and vegetables and will gather tomorrow morning for an hour of play and popsicles, with conversation for the parents.
Sunday mornings are good, but so is the in-between.
