Dentist

 For many, many, many years I would not go to see a dentist.  There were lots of reasons, the biggest one being money.  With all the things that happen at a dentist visit... well, it isn't necessarily the most pleasant experience.  All that said, I LOVE when my teeth have been cleaned.  The process that it takes to get there, not as much.  It also is wonderful to have the fresh, just brushed teeth.  Today I got my teeth cleaned.  Today, thanks to the job I have, it cost zero dollars.  Today I have happy teeth.  Other happy things from this day:

-Last fall I bought a raised bed for closer to the house to plant herbs in.  Today I finally assembled it.  It is in the living room.  Ideally I will gather enough energy after work tomorrow to make space for it outside and start the process of moving it.  For now, it will gently fill the living with the scent of untreated wood.


-My friend, Amy, came up to the house so we could walk today.  Gideon joined us for part of the walk.  It was another beautiful day to be outside. 


-Aesop was at the kennel since yesterday.   He was very happy to be home.   Then he decided to rest.


-Bel and Folke have done what they needed to with the bus.  It is now an RV and all registered, inspected, and ready to roll!  I'm so happy for them.

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 ...
