I had other plans for today post but life got in the way yesterday… bigly.
A small-ish issue with Sherman required some extra attention yesterday morning and a rather lengthy vet visit yesterday afternoon. But we have some new meds to try and I am hoping he is feeling better soon!
My plans for reacquainting myself with my painting spot did not happen … and it might not happen this morning either. I will have to see how Sherman is doing today… but it is absolutely on my radar!
I am falling back on the simplicity of a bit of a Friday RIFF… so let’s get started!
Re-adjusting —
Kym shared some links this week that I had been contemplating one of them until I saw this fun little knit from Leila Raven and I realized that this is exactly what I need.. fun, stripe-y, and I have the yarn in my stash! This is the motivation I need to finish my Pressed Flower wrap because I want to knit this next!

Investigating —
This week I saw a *new-to-me* butterfly in my back yard, Google told me it was a Great Spangled Fritillary… a member of the Nymphalidae family of butterflies. It was so fun watching it hang around for all of Wednesday afternoon. A lovely addition to the plethora of Monarch’s that are in love with my butterfly bush this year!
Hello, Lovely!
Fresh (air) Poetry —
You Are Here… Yes, yes Ada Limón, The Library of Congress, and National Parks are getting their Poetry ON! I discovered it on that site formerly known as Twitter this week and yes… I am super excited for the anthology of poems! (Especially since poetry has been in the spotlight this week… and if you are a member of the Armed Services who writes, reads, or recites poetry… well done you!) I will be reading some poetry this weekend… it is the best sanity-saving thing I do!
Finally —
Today I am going to hope that Sherman has a good day and I can spend some time refreshing my painting spot. But… I am not beating myself up if I don’t because outside of that my week has been very productive. My *computer desk* has been decluttered and I have used it! My calendar got some “face time” with me… and that felt so good! We even had a bit of rain yesterday… not enough, but some is better than none.
That is it for me this week! I will see you all back here next week. Have a great weekend everyone!
Oh dear! Sending all the healing juju Sherman’s way. I hope the new meds work and that he is on the mend soon. “Ziggy” looks like a lot of fun! hoping your weekend is relaxing and filled with joy~!
I am praying that Sherman is going to have a miraculous recovery. Boy dogs are needier than girl dogs in my experience. Big hugs to you!!!
I hope Sherman is feeling better and the new meds do the trick! And I hope that things calm down enough to allow you to get back to some painting this weekend.
Feel better soon, Sherman.
I hope Sherman feels better soon. That Ziggy shawl/scarf is such a fun pattern. That style of triangle is popping up in quite a few patterns. It might be a fun project for odds and ends of handspun. You have made some good progress toward your fall reorganization.
Hoping your dog is much better now and that you have had sometime for yourself.
I adore Sherman, you know. As certainly every one of your readers does. I hope he is on the mend and nearing, if not at, 100%. Love to that darling boy.
