Pennsic Day 14

In two days it is my hope that I will reach a two year 10,000 steps a day streak.  This morning, I couldn't find my FitBit charger and was concerned that I'd have to find a different way to count those steps.   Happily I found it in the car.  Other happy things from today:
--I made it to the archery range and shot.  There are three different shoots (ways the ranges are setup).  There is an advancing shoot where there are four targets at different distances to shoot at.  We are allowed to shoot up to 30 arrows at them.  I shot them six arrows per round. I got two into the close target and none of my next four into the next one farther away (the farther the distance the more points to score).  When I shot the next four rounds,  I stuck with the closer target and did much better.

--Another of the shoots was the Castle Window Shoot.  This is usually my favorite type of target.  The first round I scored zero.  Thankfully I improved after that!  There was a harpy in the window that was worth two points, one point for getting the window.  I got the harpy twice.  The third shoot is the clout and I didn't get the chance to shoot that. 

--We are camped near a small castle.  Tonight it was beautifully lit up.

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 ...
