Today the Color is Gray

 There is a building in Concord, NH that I just think looks really cool.  There are actually a few, but I took a picture of one of them today.  It is January and the sky was overcast with occasional sprinkles.  I love how the picture I took looks like someone tried to color a black and white photo from long ago rather than taken today.


Other happy things from today:

  • Aesop, our dog, and I went to Concord today just to walk around.  The warmer wet weather means that trails are muddy and slippery so we went to pavement.  It was good.  We just strolled around for a while with no particular destination.  Aesop likes to jump up onto low walls and walk along them.
Aesop by the state house.
  • The Christmas tree is still up and lit in front of the state house.

  • I noticed that the Liberty Bell replica is being held up by a makeshift wooden frame.  Something must have broken or rotted out.  I'm happy that there seems to be things happening to help fix whatever broke.  Seeing all the Liberty Bells (there are 53 replicas) is something that I wanted to do when the kids were little.  I haven't added that to my bucket list though.  This link seems to have some history of these bells.

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 ...
