Three on Thursday | 8.29.19
Joining Carole today with a Bridget themed post! Per Bridget: "There's a meme going around on Instagram stories, where you name three things that you hate, but everyone else loves." And, I am adding her disclaimer as well: So here are Three Things Everyone Else Loves...

Today, I am going to talk about languishing projects… sometimes they languish for a reason, amirite? This one has been languishing for a L-O-N-G time. For the longest time I tried and tried to get back to knitting it. Why, I even put it in the basket next to my bed...
In Focus
I am joining with Juliann and friends to share an update on my word! Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. – Alexander Graham Bell The journey to a more focused life took a dramatic turn this month...
Macro Monday | 8.25.19
The light was the winner as I thought about how to compose my photos. I also played with color removal – I learned things too, which is never a bad thing! My weekend just flew but, it has a wee extension!! Steve took today off and we are heading out to find new...
TGIF | 8.23.19
Overnight rains have ushered in much cooler temperatures! After days in the 90's, today our high will be in the low to mid 70's --- ahhh! I have the windows opened wide and my ears are rejoicing hearing the birds rather than the non-stop drone of the air conditioner....

I confess, I laughed at the comments about "making jam in this heat" from Monday's post. So, true confession time…. I do not go to a Raspberry Farm and pick buckets of berries. I head to my back yard and pick berries from 6-ish plants. I am lucky if I get a cup of...
Macro Monday | 8.19.19
Waning summer days mean heavy laden branches with dew covered gems I have been amazed at the volume of raspberries I have picked this year! And, this weekend's harvest will soon be transformed into lovely little jars of jam! And that is not a bad way to spend a Monday...
TGIF | 8.16.19
Mid-August… yes, I said it. Unbelievably, the month is half over. I am having zero success in my efforts to slow August down and my garden is beginning to show "end of season" signs. All of this is putting me in a bit of a melancholy mood – although I am more than...
Three on Thursday | 8.15.19
Joining with Carole today to share three things! Errr...okay maybe one thing with three parts! Thing One "... thinking back on it now reminds that the pleasures of the table, and of life, are infinite – toujours bon appétit!" Today is Julia Child's birthday! She would...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.14.15
I must confess that I found this knit to be a real slog. It was slow going and tedious, unlike Screen Door which was so much fun and so easy! However, I am happy it is finished, and I even think it will get some use in the coming months. I am still working away on my...
Sometimes Monday | 8.12.19
Are a harbinger for a coming change…. The past two morning it has been so crisp outside that I needed a sweater to work in the garden! Everything is laden with dew and glistening in the early morning sunlight. The drone of the mosquitos and the buzzing of the cicadas...
TGIF | 8.9.19
Once again, Friday is upon us in a week that just sped by! I need to figure out how to slow these August weeks down in order to fully savor these summer days! Thinking – Why does it seem that stripey socks knit up faster than plan socks? I cast on my Non-Euclidian...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.7.19
I almost have a finished object this week – I bound off this shawl late last night, but it still needs a bit of a spa treatment and a good blocking! Stay tuned for glamour shots next week! But that means – I can cast on something new! And, cast on I did! – although I...
Looking Back | July 2019
July was a tough month for me but in looking back, I am happy to see some very good things despite it being such a challenge! July 3rd might be my favorite picture of the whole month though! That single pierced ear has brought lots of...
Macro Monday | 8.5.19
Today, I have no words so it is a very good thing that I managed to take some photos last week. I am going to find comfort in the tasks of Monday and I hope you can find some solace today also.
Around Here | 8.2.19
This first Friday in August just seems like the perfect time to do an "around here" post! Around here – I am so happy to welcome August with its warm, sunny days – although there is a perceptible difference in the hours of daylight. It is no longer light out when I...
Three on Thursday | 8.1.19
I woke up this morning thinking how nice that it was finally Friday and about 30 minutes later I realized it was Thursday. Sigh. I hope those were not the best 30 minutes of my day! Ha! I am joining with Carole and Friends to share three things from my week thus far!...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.31.19
Greetings Unravelers! I am back to patiently knitting my shawl and I am *almost* to the point where I get to do the little "flower" motif! Wooo! As for Early Bloomer… I wore it on Monday and thought about the fit all day. Sadly, I have determined that I need to rip it...
