Castle

Weaving should be my main goal, but I know my limits. I took Aesop, our dog, for a walk today. The amount of time that walk took, I decided would be the amount of time I would commit to weaving. We walked about an hour and forty minutes. I spent longer than that working on the loom. Goal achieved. Not all that time was weaving because I ended up having to give up (hopefully temporarily) on the red, white and blue band and put the green and white band on the loom instead. I was worried that it would be hard to put a project that had started on one loom and put it onto another. That took up some time, but it seems to be working. 

The castle up is what I wove today.
About eight inches or so before
that was done three years ago.

Tomorrow I hope to find a comfortable position and be able to weave more. Other happy things from today:

  • While out this morning, before the walk, there was a bird in a tree that I think was a cat bird.


  • During the walk someone's dog came out and almost attacked Aesop. They decided to be curious instead which I am happy for. I'm also thankful that the owner was right there. 
  •  I remembered to take a couple pictures with some yellow and orange foliage showing signs that autumn is on the way. 



  •  The almost full moon rose orange and hung bright over the city lights tonight. The round light over the yellow house is the moon. It was, of course, much more impressive in real life.

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

 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 ...
