Ash Wednesday

After work I met Keziah at the SCA storage unit to look through things for the event this weekend.  The person who is in charge of the Barony's things has done a great job of cataloging many of the containers.  It has made finding things so much easier.  We were able to find all the things that we were looking for that we thought were in there.  Not everything fit in the van so another trip will need to be made on Friday.  Yay, organization!  Other happy things for today:

  • When I left for work there were coyote tracks walking down the driveway.  At least I am fairly certain that is the animal that left these.

The picture was taken quickly
as I was heading out to work.
  • Hugs.  Hugs from friends are one of the things that I have missed during the pandemic.  A friend came by to work with us at the studio for a bit and she is a super hugger.
  • For day 59 of the A&S challenge I tried to fix the warp on one of the looms.  It is Weaving Wednesday so I had to do something; unfortunately I made a mess.  That mess will get more of my attention another day.

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 ...
