I pondered doing a "what I did on my blog-cation" last week... and I will share, soon. One thing I did not do until late last week was open my laptop. Nope, I did not look at it once and it felt so good. I realized that in not looking at my laptop also increased not...

This month was a month full of "ah-ha" moments. So many. In fact, this month was so full, I even found a theme song... listen if you like and see what I discovered this month! The song starts at 1:40... (but if you listen to the bit of the talk before the song I found...

Bring poppies for a weary mind That saddens in a senseless din. — William Winter One of the most fleeting of things... my poppies... and yet, perhaps I love them so much because they are so fleeting. One thing I hope is not fleeting... our outrage at the gun violence...

When Knitting Updates Are Never The Answer

When Knitting Updates Are Never The Answer

Hello, Gentle Readers. I had a completely different post planned for today and then the world fell apart. I am sorry, but I feel publishing that post is rather tone deaf in light of what happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas yesterday. Hug your loved...

The best laid plans of bloggers... sigh. I had planned on giving you all a May Word update today. But Carolyn posted this weekend that word update would be next Monday. Okay... that works, because it gives me a few more days to contemplate Four Thousand Weeks, which I...

It's been a week, hasn't it? I have tried and tried to make sense of the senseless and I can find no simple answers... no complicated answers either. My heart is heavy for the citizens of Buffalo and for the Black/Brown/Indigenous American/LGBTQIA+/Non-Christian...

A bit of a random brain dump this morning... sorry about that. This morning I am a bit "foggy" because I got another COVID booster shot yesterday. I had thought to wait till the fall but COVID numbers have been on a sharp incline here in Allegheny County so I went and...

Tegna!! She is finished. She just needs a bit of a spa treatment and a quick tumble in the dryer and she will be camera ready! I spent some time earlier this year contemplating my wardrobe needs... and I have one sweater I really like to wear but the neckline bothers...

...is for sharing! Gentle Readers, do you have a spouse who is an IG Junkie? Steve must send me at least 4 "reels" a day... and most of them are about food... specifically IG Recipes. Some weeks ago he sent me a recipe for baked feta, and I was so curious as to why he...
