For quite some time I have wanted to participate in a produce CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) but belonging has never been super easy. Then Pinterest started prompting me with ads for Misfits Market. They are a subscription box company that delivers sometimes funny-looking fruits and vegetables making it easy and affordable to eat healthy. They […]
At some point during the onset of the quarantine, I started walking more than running. It gives me good opportunity to see different things. Today I found a new roadside heart. I had better rhythm today. I blogged, vacuumed, and mopped the floors. It’s amazing what a clean space does for my morale. This afternoon […]
This morning I cast on another hat. I call them crack hats because I am addicted to making them. They go sooooo fast because I hold three fingering (skinny) yarns together. Lately I have been making them with balls of scraps that were gifted to me by a friend. I plan to send her all […]
I was up early today and had quite a productive start before my usual Saturday morning meeting, held via Zoom. I do love the elimination of the commute time. I worked on my sweater again to the point I could. I’m waiting for feedback from the designer so I’m in slight holding pattern. That’s ok. […]

Today on my walk, I spotted an unintentional heart in the street. It felt deeply happy. The heart was a welcome surprise and it made me think of my knitting friend, Leslie. She too likes to spot hearts in unexpected places. The energy in our house was positive today. It was another glorious weather day. […]
I have not seen much of Mason’s sketchbook but he likes to draw and enjoys art a lot. This is his Holy Week assignment. To enhance his at-home art experience, Bill took him to get new markers. His work is even more vibrant now. Meanwhile, getting physical is the key right now. I was so […]
Today was the first time since we began sheltering in place that I went to the grocery store. I wore my mask and made sure I used lots of hand sanitizer. It felt overwhelming to try to shop bigger for food that would last for two weeks at a time when I am accustomed to […]
