A fine day to be alive.
Monday, April 19, 2010 at 11:00AM A fine day to see the sun glittering on the largest lake in the world. A fine day to be thinking about the new spring colorways you'll be shipping to retailers soon.
A fine day to see a 1,004-foot long boat arriving into port.
A fine morning to just happen to have your camera with you, even though you brought the wrong lens.
A fine day for a daddy to take his little girl to see the boat come in. She waved at the deck crew, and they waved back.
A fine day for me to have worn my warm coat and sensible shoes.
A fine day for the crew of the Mesabi Miner to pull into this fine port at the head of the Great Lakes. I bet they're glad to see it.
A fine day for the captain of the Miner to discharge all his ballast water to make room for the coal he'll be loading today.
A fine day for the Aerial Lift Bridge to go up and down, up and down, up and down.
A fine day for the children waiting aboard school buses to be late for first bell. The people of the world need their coal so their power plants can make electricity so they can have computers and read this blog that has absolutely nothing to do with knitting anymore and who am I kidding, no one.
But it's still a fine day just the same.

It's great that this blog is about life. And there was talk about colorways, I did notice that.. did you think we wouldn't ????? I would love to come see that port someday; I love water and boats. Photography is one of my favorite things, I love to see all of your pictures.
Thank you for the pics! I am very homesick right now.
Gorgeous! Just beautiful. I love your pictures. My engineering father dragged us up to the locks at Sault Ste. Marie just to watch them go up and down. "Isn't that neat kids?" "Yeah, Dad, great." He would love the bridge. Could probably retire watching that bridge go up and down all day!
This makes me miss Duluth! I love it there. I'll follow you and feel closer than 4 hours away! I need to visit! Lovely photos!!
I just showed these to Bob and he loved it. If we get there this summer you may meet Diana and I but I am afraid my husband will sit and watch the ships all day. Maybe he would join us for dinner.
