Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day.  Keziah and Zed went away for the weekend leaving Gideon with myself and Zed's mom.  Today I was gone most of the day and so Gideon had time with his other grandmother.   I was able to spend a little bit of time at the studio.   I've been trying to get some SCA garb repaired and ready for upcoming events.   I was able to use the sewing machine for something today but it turns out hand stitching will be best for most of this outfit.   I've been working on it at home tonight with movies on.  It's been nice.  Other happy things for today:

-I planned a walk that friends who were available could join me.  It being a holiday, only one friend was able to come.  We had a nice time walking and chatting.  The weather was practically perfect.  A breeze kept the bugs mostly away and it wasn't too warm or cold.


-Both of my children called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day.  Keziah is enjoying her mini vacation and Bel has been busy working on turning that bus into an RV.  Bel and Folke might be able to hit the road this week.  I'm excited for them.

-Gideon, the grandmothers, and Zed's brother went out for ice cream tonight.  I had my favorite,  peppermint stick. 

-On today's walk, we went around a pond and over some small streams.  There was a turtle, what appeared to be a beaver's lodge, and other neat things.  Here are some photos.



On a side note, I'm using my phone to create the blog instead of my computer.  Hopefully it will format well.  There are less options on my phone.

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 ...
