There is this funny thing that knitters do when they finish up a project. It’s the bathroom selfie and I find it to be highly unflattering. However, here I am trying to get an idea of the fit on the sweater I have been knitting since quarantine started. I’m smiling but inside I am crying. […]
My day started off great with a happy walk this morning. In the morning light I picked flowers. Some might call them weeds but isn’t it all just a matter of attitude? When I spied this beautiful sidewalk art, my heart felt light and joyful. While I don’t know these neighbors, Bill and I have […]
We had another exciting delivery today from Misfits. In times like these, these boxes offer such promise. They check all my boxes (no pun intended) with their element of surprise, their healthy contents and the trip they save me the trip to the grocery stores for fresh produce. The struggle of trying to find a […]
Mason has a new spin on the essential mask. Our consummate comedian placed a glass lid in front of his face and synched it in place with his hoodie so it was snug. It actually worked in its own way. Today I started my day with a morning run with the bunnies. Bill helped me […]
Our Sunday started with Mass in the living room. While I would not knit at Mass in church, I have been since we started playing the home game. My body assumes a knitting posture when I sit in a chair in front of the TV. I am justifying my actions by working only on charity […]
Today was a good Saturday. The boys slept in late and Bill and I were able to ease into our day with lovely quiet time. Bill tackled the mess of paint cans in the garage, purging the ones that were out of date. Walker went for a bicycle ride on the Evansville greenway. This evening […]
Today on my morning walk/run I spotted these beautiful flowers. Spring is in the air and nature is responding. After cleaning up and having breakfast, I ran to Schnucks and Starbucks and then directly to the food pantry to unload some contributions. When I got home, I found Mason had been recording. He’s in his […]
Today was truly a wonderful day! My social cup runneth over. It started with a knitting session with my local knitting peeps on Google Duo. Then I had an unexpected ninety (90!!!) minute call with Monique in which we talked about family stuff, current events, Covid-19 coping strategies, Gretchen Rubin and more. We ran out […]
Most of my knitting time has been spent on this sweater. It’s a pattern in testing stages and I’m modifying it with the designer’s help. There have been some challenges along the way and I am discovering that I tend to shy away from things that are hard for me to work through. See the […]
The pandemic had made deliveries more exciting than ever. Since we don’t curate our Misfits box, its arrival brings extra delight. Underneath these greens we found butternut squash, spaghetti squash, kabocha, green beans, curly kale, poblano peppers, zucchini, celery, onions, rutabaga, oranges, red delicious apples and D’Anjou pears. The mystery ingredient was the kabocha squash. […]
