a bit of stitching at the coast

stitching
hand-dyed fabric

august in new england
temps over 90
humid

late afternoon
doris lessing short stories and I
went to the beach
I, in my big straw hat
a la Monet
a beach chair
cooling breezes
an early sunset
turns everything pink
watching
families gathering stuff
rounding up children

ah, august in new england along the shore
