Found

 The order for the FitBit charger was delayed.  It was supposed to be here today and now will not be here until Friday.  I decided to look one more time where it should be and there it is.  I looked there at least four times and moved the black headband that the black charger was on top of at least twice.  I am not sure how I missed it.  It doesn't matter, it is found now.  There was five percent left on the battery and my step count for the day was reached before I found the charger.  I am so very happy that I found it.  I am also happy that there will be additional ones coming soon so that I might not have this problem again.  Other things I am happy for today:

  • For Christmas I received a roll up puzzle mat and a new puzzle to do.  Gideon, Keziah, and I started the puzzle today.  We all enjoy doing puzzles.  Being able to roll up the puzzle to put it away will hopefully make it easier for us to do more of them. This particular puzzle is a prize puzzle.  When complete it will form a QR Code that I will take a picture of to see what I might win.  There isn't a picture of the actual puzzle to follow because then there would be no point.  
  • A few days ago Keziah introduced me to a new game called Wordle.  Apparently it is all over Twitter.  There is no download and everyone gets the same one puzzle each day.  The family is having fun doing these and seeing how many guesses it takes each of us to solve the puzzle.  The limit is six and I did today's with four guesses.  
  • Day 8 of the A&S Challenge:  I worked with some beads.  I couldn't find the right tools at home so I went out and spent about $20 and bought some.  There was a time I couldn't afford to do that.  I had originally used a string made for beading to try to make something that I wanted to be earrings but I think was becoming a necklace and then just a tangled mess.  I cut that all apart today and I tried to make wire things that I attached to some of the beads.  Eventually, they may turn into jewelry.  If I continue with the challenge, maybe sometime in the next 92 days.


  • Deer tracks on the back driveway where I take Aesop, our dog, in the morning sometimes.

Peaches

 We missed the window of opportunity to harvest any peaches.  The local wildlife however did not.  I moved a wildlife camera to the very overgrown garden and got some evidence as to what animals are scavenging for food there.  The videos I have uploaded to YouTube are my happy things for today.  It has been a while and I hope I did it all right.  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/eGde2FkGAM4 https://youtu.be/sPTce7Xg-f8 https://youtu.be/Z478nzo-pOs https://youtu.be/CakS5Z6Aisg https://youtu.be/4XVWowksaO8 ☮ Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

Snow Sounds

Image
 When I don't work and my schedule adjusts to daytime, I often stay snuggled in bed doing things on my phone. This morning it was snowing outside. I can hear the cars go by. I can tell when the roads are wet. Right now (around 8 AM) I can tell that some snow is staying on the roads and under tires, at least in some spots. There is a muffled crunching sort of sound the tires make when rolling over snow. And yet there isn't. I realize that the crunching was a slower vehicle, probably on the side of the road, turning, or driveway. Most cars are traveling at a reasonable speed, the snow is most likely blowing to the sides, lightweight. The sound is still muffled slightly which tells me that the snow is falling.  Other happy things for today: Day 5: Today the A&S challenge is not an unfinished project.  I found my lucet so I decided to refresh my memory on how to do a lucet braid. There were YouTube videos and multiple failed attempts. Eventually I used a video ...

Thankful Wednesday

Image
It is the last day of August. I'm tired of the heat of summer and looking forward to September weather. I'm thankful for the seasons and the changes that they bring. Other things I am thankful for: When I let a supervisor at work know the job I was doing was making me feel ill, they switched where I was. Sometimes, packages coming at me fast along the rollers give me an upset stomach. Today I was at the fastest area and it didn't go well. So I'm thankful they moved me. There is a possibility that I will have more help with weaving. I'm very thankful for this. I finished the first pattern on the weaving, crossed fencing swords. I'm hopeful that at least some of the pieces will be ready before the event.  I'm thankful that I am remembering how to weave and some little tricks are coming back to me. ☮ I'm going to try to get back into the habit of listing what I am reading...
