as small as a world and as large as alone

I crocheted a wool blend hat out of thick chunky yarn. Then I put it in Saran Wrap with signs inside it. One says “IF YOU’RE COLD take this home for keeps.” The other has washing instructions and my email address for further questions. Then I left it on a park bench (I walked to City hall park and back with just a cane, thank you dexamethasone!) and presumably a cold person will use it. I got the idea from tumblr but don’t remember where. I’m going to do more hats and scarves.

I’ve always wanted to just leave little presents everywhere for people to find, and useful ones are even better.

One of my dad’s sayings: “If your feet are cold, put a hat on.” It works, too.
