Why is no one talking about what happened in São Paulo yesterday?

The sky turned completely black around three in the afternoon partly because of smoke coming from the Amazon rainforest, WHICH IS 2300 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE CITY, where the government has greatly increased the amount of land being burned for profit. People are getting sick, animals are dying, native territory is being lost to the flames.

This is what the sky looked like in my city yesterday, in the early afternoon.

It got so dark so fast the city had to turn on the lamp posts and night lighting.

Please talk about this. Reblog this post, non-brazilians especially.

It’s all over the TV in the US.

It’s Day 234 of the Sea Side Scarf. It has been a very overcast, hot, humid day. I knitted my four rows following chart two (calm, quiet water), using @redheartyarns Dusty Grey Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the grey water. Thunderstorms are expected today, and although the torrential rain has begun, I only heard one rumble of thunder in a half hour. We are in the storm threat until 10:00pm so we’ll see what develops. I’m feeling a bit better today, though the “soft diet” is pretty boring. That said, I’ll be happy when real food can return.

It’s Day 233 of the Sea Side Scarf. It was another hot, humid day. I knitted my four rows in stockinette stitch (calm, quiet water), using @redheartyarns Light Periwinkle Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the blue water. The only water movement was caused by wakes of passing boats. I had a wisdom tooth removed today, so I’m cutting this short and returning to my misery. :-)

It’s Day 232 of the Sea Side Scarf. It was a very hot, very humid day. I knitted my four rows following chart two (outgoing tide), using @redheartyarns Delft Blue Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the bright blue water. For the first time in days, today dawned sunny and warm. The heat followed rather quickly, and the humidity became oppressive even more quickly. We flirted with severe thunderstorms all day, but they disintegrated before they reached us, and all we got was immeasurably small raindrops that dried as quickly as they fell. Hopefully, tomorrow storms will make it this far east, and we’ll get some relief from the horrible heat and humidity.

It’s Day 231 of the Sea Side Scarf. It was another very foggy beginning to the day. I knitted my four rows in stockinette stitch (calm, quiet water with fog), using @redheartyarns Light Grey Super Saver worsted weight yarn. It turned into a very hot, very humid day. We took Mike’s Mom to see the Broadway show “Hello, Dolly” (with Betty Buckley as Dolly) for her 93rd birthday today. The show was fabulous, and we loved it! There is something to be said for having an exceptional cast, that makes theater such a joy. On the phone topic, my phone had to be ordered, so I’m waiting for that to arrive before I change service. It’s always something!

It’s Day 230 of the Sea Side Scarf. It is another foggy morning. I knitted my four rows in stockinette stitch (calm, quiet water), using @redheartyarns Light Grey Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the very light grey water. Yesterday it took awhile for the fog to burn off, but when it did the heat, and humidity really took over. They are predicting the same today, but with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, and evening. The storms will usher in even hotter and more humid weather, unfortunately. Summer is now refusing to relinquish its hold on New England. Come February I’ll probably wish for these days to come back, but being a curmudgeonly New Englander today, I’ll do my part to complain!

Today is the day I buy my first new phone service in years. Here’s hoping the transition goes more smoothly than I anticipate! Hopefully, I’ll be back here tomorrow posting like nothing has changed.

It’s Day 229 of the Sea Side Scarf. It is a very foggy morning. I knitted my four rows in stockinette stitch (calm, quiet water), using @redheartyarns Light Grey Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the thick fog. The fog started to roll in very quickly early this morning (2:00 am ET), and has hung tough ever since. A few minutes before I took today’s photo you couldn’t see anything in the water, then the fog lifted a bit to show the ghostly sailboats mooring in the Fore River. A few minutes after that, the curtain of fog closed in, and you once again couldn’t see anything in the water. There is something very quiet, and calming about the fog. The blanket it draws over everyday objects makes for a very peaceful silence. I didn’t take a video today because there was nothing of which to take a video, but a plain grey expanse. I think I’ll enjoy this while people wake up, and get their day started.

It’s Day 228 of the Sea Side Scarf. It was a sunny, humid day. I knitted my four rows in reverse stockinette stitch (wind driven water), using @redheartyarns Delft Blue Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the blue water color. It was tough to photograph the two reverse stockinette days in a row, because the play in the knitted piece was pretty extreme. I didn’t expect that. My first instinct today was to note the water was an incoming tide, but in checking the tide chart I found the tide should have been outgoing, so I know the very stiff wind was the reason for the water movement. The humidity was supposed to be down today, but that never really happened, and we were stuck with humidity all day. The predicted low humidity never materialized, and the forecast is now calling for high humidity through the middle of next week. We are also going to get some 90 degree weather again...boooooo! The memory of the 60s and 70s will have to sustain us for awhile, and leave us dreaming of a return to fine autumnal days.

It’s Day 227 of the Sea Side Scarf. It started out clear today. I knitted my four rows in reverse stockinette stitch (wind driven water), using @redheartyarns Delft Blue Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the clear blue water. Today the mugginess remained even though there was a breeze out of the northeast, which usually cools things off, and moves the humidity out. Late this afternoon fog moved in, and now visibility is about 500 feet, so we are socked in. The next few days are supposed to be mild to cool with temps in the 60s and 70s with low humidity. It will be a pleasant stretch before the heat and humidity return with a vengeance. I’m hoping the heat moves out before school starts. There’s nothing worse than a room full of first graders, in 90 degree heat, in the afternoon, trapped in school. (Ask me how I know.)

It’s Day 226 of the Sea Side Scarf. It was a cloudy with showers today. I knitted my four rows following chart two (outgoing tide), using @redheartyarns Grey Heather Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the grey water. It was heavily overcast today, and we had short showers most of the day, making it feel very, very humid. It was like you had to physically push through the air when you walked. It was extremely uncomfortable all day. Just before sunset, the sun found its way through a linear break in the clouds for a very short while, which only seemed to add to the humidity. It was in the 80s today, but for the rest of the week the forecast says 70s, so I’m hoping for a return to the lovely autumnal weather we had last week. Here’s hoping!

It’s Day 225 of the Sea Side Scarf. It started out as a beautiful day, with warm temperatures, and a gentle breeze out of the west. I knitted my four rows following chart two (outgoing tide), using @redheartyarns Delft Blue Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the blue water. It started out lovely today, but by this afternoon the temperature rose, and the humidity that had disappeared the last few days, came back. It was back to air conditioning, alas. I completed my 900th row today. That’s 28,800 stitches so far! :-) No wonder I’m so tired!

It’s Day 224 of the Sea Side Scarf. It is another perfect summer day in eastern Massachusetts today! I knitted my four rows in reverse stockinette stitch (wind driven water), using @redheartyarns Royal Super Saver worsted weight yarn to match the very blue water. It is another picture perfect day, with lots of sunshine, fair weather clouds, extremely low humidity, a temperature of 80 degrees, and a pretty strong wind out of the northwest (driving the water in toward the shore). I could take it if every day was like this one! Tomorrow should be our high temperature day (88 predicted), followed by lovely 70 degree days through the rest of the week. Ahhhh!
