Is full of random things... This week I welcome autumn and over the last week or so I have been closely watching the subtle (or not so subtle) changes outside... Sherman and I head out before the sun rises now and this morning was especially dark with only a chorus of...
Things I Learned This Week | 9.16.22
This week was a good week for learning... at least for me...and I thought I'd share what I learned with you all! Thing One: Pita success happened. Or at least I found a very tasty and easy recipe. And while some of my pita's puffed up, not all of them did - or at...
A Gathering of Poetry | September 2022
Poetry is a constant in my day... it is the thing I start my day with - reading a poem or two. And my favorite month of all is Poetry Month which happens every year in April. But one month with a focus on poetry is just not enough and even though occasionally a poem...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.14.22
Greetings Gentle Unravelers! Yesterday, a momentous occasion occurred here in the 'Burgh... Sweater Weather arrived and it is a thing of beauty! I basked all day in wearing a sweater because of the weather! Please note... this is entirely different than wearing a...
Weekending | 9.12.22
Greetings everyone and Happy Monday! It was a full weekend... a full indoor weekend thanks to the grey skies that brought some rain to Pittsburgh! Much needed rain, mind you...so I am not complaining. (Okay, I am not complaining about the rain but the mosquitoes on...
Museum of Me | September 2022
This month the curators were encouraged to update the thoughts about school exhibit... not necessarily a back to school exhibit, for which my curator heaved a sigh of relief. No need to stress over my lack of "back to school wardrobe, notebooks, binders, pencils,...

September RIFFing | 9.2.22
At long last we have arrived at the cusp of my favorite season... autumn. I live all year for autumn... and though I have learned to live happily in the moment of *now*... my heart is always longing for autumn! This week we have had some lovely "teasers" with cooler...

The making this week... so very good! I have a finished sweater! Woo hoo! And I love it. The fit, the details, the yarn, the marl-y-ness! It is just the Perfect Sweater! This is the pattern. This is the yarn (my colors are Escoria and Nightshade) I apologize for Porch...
Full: Beginning Again | August 2022
I mentioned earlier this month that I was feeling "done" with my word. And then I really settled in and spent time with Ali Edward's team as they invited me to look at my word as if I was beginning again but from the perspective of how beginning in August looks so...
A Friday Catchall | 8.26.22
This week has felt very disordered to me... a not very weekend weekend, a missing day on Monday, and then trying to catch up with what day it is... I am really glad that the week is over! But before I close the curtain on this week, I have a few things to share! First...

Greetings Dearest Unravelers! Welcome to the last Wednesday in August... I know. How on earth is that possible?! I am sure you are all asking about the PLUS portion of the title... yes, you will get a bit more than making and reading today as I will give you all a...
Hey, Mr. Postman | 8.19.22
Today I have a stack of letters that I need to get in the post... buckle up! Dear Citizens Bank Mortgage Department, I realize that your goal is that people who have a mortgage would never pay it off and make all payments on time...and refinance frequently. However,...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.17.22
Greetings, Gentle Unravelers! I have so much to share with you today... good things, NEW techniques. And a reinforcement that sometimes you just need to try more than once to achieve success! First... I am happy to report that the 3-needle bind off I wanted to achieve...
Sometimes Monday | 8.15.22
is for emptying out my brain... Occasionally I have so much clutter just rattling around my head, I just need to dump it all out. Clean the slate, as it were. This is one of those Mondays! I am wondering how there can be so many mosquitoes outside right now. It has...
August Riffing | 8.12.22
August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time. ― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath We finally got some rain this week and that rain ushered in some cooler weather as well. Ahhh! A break in the heat and...

Sometimes Monday | 8.8.22
Is for catching up and contemplation... and I am hoping that my catching up will be easy. I need to wash kitchen floors and clean bathrooms and, if the rain holds off, give Sherman a bath. (Hint... wet dog on wet day is not a good combination... ever, lol) Some of my...
