Re-Warping Thursday

 At work today I learned how to assist drivers in loading the merchandise for delivery.  The result was that I was very tired.  My step count for the day was over 37,721.  For some perspective, back in April of 2021 I walked from Concord, NH to Canterbury, NH, about 16 miles, for a total that day of 37,811 steps.  My feet are feeling better now, possibly because of the sandals that TF got for me last month.  I'm still very grateful for those.  Other happy things for today:

  • The back door was accidentally left open and one of the cats got out.  He didn't go far and came right back in when asked.  Then I went searching for the other cat, Nanni.  I didn't find her upstairs and then Gideon let me know that she was asleep on the bridge.  She was basking in the rising heat of the room.
The bridge is sagging a little.
  • There was frost on the car when I went out to go to work this morning.  There are still Christmas lights in the trees and they looked pretty through the frost.
  • Day four of the A&S challenge and I considered stopping.  Instead, I pulled out a different loom that wasn't quite set up and took an hour to get it ready to weave.  The weaving will be another time.  I ran into some tangles, shuffles, and loose threads that shouldn't be loose.  However, once I find a shuttle I will be able to weave on that loom, Yay!  

  • After work, and before watching WandaVision with the family, I took a nap.  It was wonderful.  Watching WandaVision with the family was also wonderful.  We finished the last episode and I have to admit, I cried.

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 ...

Weaving Day

My grandson, Gideon, has been trying to learn magic tricks with cards. He struggles with the slight of hand, and knows it. I admire that he is trying. He also tries to invent new card games. Other happy things from today: My friend, Amy, had a craft afternoon at her house today for just a few people. Most of us had weaving projects. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but made some good progress on my loom. It was also good to spend time with friends.  Later, at home the family had leftovers from Thanksgiving, including pie for dessert. The pies are almost gone and I have enjoyed them while we've had them.  We also watched a movie together. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a really good movie that Keziah and I had seen, but Gideon and Zed had not. There was laughter in the beginning of the movie and tears at the end. I like that we watch things together and often discuss them after. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: Prayer, Meditations, and Affirmations ...
