Weaving the Day Away

It feels like most of the day I spent weaving. I didn't. I meant to time how long I did weave for but I kept forgetting to pause the timer or to turn it back on. I've almost finished the first green and white band I'm working on. It got too late with too many distractions for me to work on the last design.  In the picture below, the section to the left of the first castle I did three year ago.  The castle and to the right I did yesterday and today.  


Other happy things from today include:

  • Keziah and I had a meeting with the event coordinators for the event next weekend. After going over the schedule and some other things I feel more prepared for it. 
  •  Aesop, our dog, thought he wanted to go for a walk today but I struggled to get him to move once we were outside. It was still a nice walk. We came home through the back of the property. I don't think I've been out there since spring so the trail was overgrown. I've missed it and look forward to spending more time out there as the weather cools. 


  •  One of the signs of late summer and early fall are the berries on the Canada mayflower plants. According to the internet, the ripe berries are edible and high in vitamins A and C. I'm not quite that adventurous at the moment.  They are a lovely splash of red along the forest floor.

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 ...
