quiet after the trip

I have been feeling very quiet after the time on the mountain.  I am having a hard time adjusting to Houston even though are good things in my life like new glasses and a lovely lunch with a friend.  With the quiet,  I have been spending most evenings with my spinning wheel and a bag of fiber.  I am making yarn for a sweater I have started my Beloved.  It is a good use of my time while I am being quiet.  

I also am practicing with my drop spindle.  I have a feeling that yarn will end up in a shawl.
