Gone Knittin’
I had a few things to get done yesterday morning and then Steve and I took a bit of a walk out at Boyce Mayview. It was my first walk since my tumble and it went well, although a bit warm with the heat yesterday afternoon! And, I am happy to report that there are no...

What is better for the almost "ides" of June to talk about knitting and reading? Up first, reading… I have lots of books to update you all with! I have completed three books since week: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This book was recommended to me for my...
How My Garden Grows
Mary had asked about my garden, so I thought I would share with you what works for us... or what we hope works for us! I do not have ground that would give me what Bonny has in her yard. The soil here is very poor and extremely rocky – as in there are more rocks than...
Weekend Recovery
Do you ever wish you could just skip something? Or have a do-over? Yeah, me too although I am not sure if I would rather skip the weekend or have a do-over. It started off nicely with the close out of Negroni Week. But, Saturday morning I had a nasty fall in Mt....
Friday Bird Watching
The past week we have watched a little (but feisty) brown wren decide he liked the cardinal house Steve's mom gave me for Christmas was JUST what he needed for a nest. Some poor bird had previously begun building a nest in it but abandoned the idea. Well, enter this...

Unraveled Wednesday, June 7
Sometimes life gets in the way of knitting and that happened to me this week in the form of a delivery of 7 yards of mulch on Monday. So, for the past two days, Steve and I have been moving the mountain of mulch from the driveway to all the garden beds. Let me tell...
May Stitches
May stitching brings the completion of five months of my daily stitching routine and to say that this has changed my life is an understatement! It has become the best part of my day, the thing I look most forward to, and I am still amazed at how this has sparked my...
Resisting Monday
It was a fly by weekend here, and the proof of that is that it is Monday already! Saturday morning, we scored a flat of strawberries which made for lots of berry cleaning, macerating, cooking and finally roasting to make some jam! Pro-tip – you do not need perfect...
Inspiration Friday
Some weeks it is a challenge to find a handful of good things to share with you, this was not one of those weeks. I apologize in advance for Inspiration Overload and for increasing your knitting queue… Okay, maybe not that last part! LOL This week I messaged Kirsten...

Unraveled Wednesday, May 31
Greetings Dear Unravelers! I have good things to share with you today – it seems as if I have found my "sense of urgency" and have this dire need to finish up some lingering projects. That means I have kitchnered some sock toes and I am cruising down the foot to a toe...
May Joy
Planning and planting brought much joy this month, as did seeing the fruits of past years labors. And, now joyful anticipation has settled in.
Weekend Monday’s
A Monday that is still the weekend is all kinds of awesome in my book! So far, my weekend has been practically perfect in every way: the annuals have been planted into the various containers, there has been lots of grilling (i.e. I have not been doing much cooking),...
