Stone Arch Bridge

The first errand I had today was to drive to meet someone to give them some favors to embellish and put together for me. We had a nice short visit. She recently acquired a small loom and had no idea how to use it. Since it wasn't a style of loom I have used before, I loaned her some books to help out. That was my first visit with a friend today. Other happy things from today include:

  • When choosing the place to meet the friend I noticed a stone arch bridge on the map nearby. I took a short walk to it. The bridge was open to foot traffic only..



Taken from the stone arch bridge,
the modern replacement is also stone.


  • The afternoon was spent playing Minecaft with TF. This was a nice phone visit with a friend. We battled monsters and moned precious stones and had fun.
  • In the evening, Gideon went to visit a friend and the adults went to a bar to celebrate a person’s 21st birthday. It was loud, and my anxiety was real, but once a few people started talking directly to me the evening went much better. So more friends, some that I hadn't had the chance to talk with in a while. This gathering was our community looking out for and celebrating with a young person, in a responsible way (designated drivers and moderation). Other than the 21 year old, everyone else ranged in ages over 30 to at least 57 (I'm not sure if I was the oldest one there or not). It takes a village…

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 ...
