Moving Beyond Time | May 2024
Time is the horizontal dimension of life, the surface layer of reality. Then there is the vertical dimension of depth, accessible only through the portal of the present moment. — Eckhart Tolle I first became intensely aware of this phenomena after listening to this...
Summer Bucket List | 5.24.24
I had an entirely different post planned for today and then I woke up thinking about Mary Oliver's poem, The Summer Day. I am not sure why I thought of this poem today... perhaps because we have been having a stretch of summer-like days, or perhaps because it is a...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.22.24
Greetings Dear Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! There has been some significant "unraveling" this week as I picked out the seams on several pages from my book. Sigh. Building a Slot and Tab book is taking all my brain bandwidth. Foolishly, I thought I'd be able to just...
Sometimes Monday | 5.20.24
Is it just me or is May just flying by? It sure feels that way to me... and I have really focused on slowly savoring the days! So perhaps a bit of a celebration of what May has brought to my life this year.... Starting with my poppy... it is unbelievable this year! My...
The Miracle of Hearing…Again | 5.17.24
It has been a long journey to not hearing... one that really happened with little realization from me. I recognized that I was having hearing issues but I mostly ignored them thanks to the COVID lockdowns and the changes it brought to daily life for many people. I...
A Gathering of Poetry | May 2024
I had thought of using a different poem today but after spending yesterday morning in my garden, doing a bit of weeding... with my new hearing aids in and on... the sounds of the bees was crazy. Crazy!! And all I could think of was this poem by Lucy Adkins that I read...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.15.24
Greetings dearest Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I have eased back into making... a stitch here and there began to add up to suddenly finding myself at the heel flap on Sock One! Before vacation, I began the new Mystery Gnome... it started slowly with a few bits...
Sometimes Monday | 5.13.24
Like much of the world on Friday, time stood still for a few minutes while I saw the effects from the coronal mass ejections (or CME's) with my eyes in the south hills of Pittsburgh! Yes, it was amazing. Yes, I took pictures (because our eyes are limited but a camera...
Erie in Springtime | 5.10.24
What is there to say about a place where the Warbler Chorus is punctuated by Oriole Arias? Birder's Heaven? Because that perfectly describes the week in Erie... specifically at Presque Isle. And those Oriole's? Well, I saw dozens of them... dozens. I have never seen...
Unraveled Wednesday | 5.8.24
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I am having a bit of a struggle settling back in to my normal routine... I feel like I am behind on everything (because I am!) and that is not a fun feeling at all. One thing I did not bring on vacation was my Daily Stitching...
A Study With Time | April 2024
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. — Earl Nightingale One part of my Year of Time was to contemplate...
Hello May | 5.6.24
May is the month of expectation, the month of wishes, the month of hope. — Emily Brontë Simply put... I love May. It is the month of "best of" so many things! I have, at least, one bunch of allium bulbs that are blooming... and they are stunning. My expectation was...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.25.24
Welcome to my favorite day of National Poetry Month — Poem In Your Pocket Day! Every April I like to add a new book to my Poetry Library... and this year, dear Ada Limón had the perfect collection with perfect timing! You Are Here Poetry in the Natural World was...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.24.24
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday to you all! First, a bit of housekeeping for next week. There will not be any Unraveled Wednesday post next week, May 1st. I will be back from Erie the following week and there will be an Unraveled post on May 8th! Now that...
Sometimes Monday | 4.22.24
The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share. — Lady Bird Johnson Earth Day 2024... it seems somehow more important after a winter that wasn't really winter. And spring, well... she has been springing....
Thursday’s are for poetry | 4.18.24
Welcome to Week Three of National Poetry Month! This week our theme is Color... and I was so excited about that! When I think of color and poetry, one beloved poet comes to my mind, Derek Walcott. I know of no other poet who has the thread of color weaving through so...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.17.24
Greetings Dear Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I have finishes this week! A completed pair of socks and one finished Gnome! First, the socks! Pattern is Hermoine's Everyday Socks with an afterthought heel and toes done in a contrasting yarn. They fit well and I think...
Sometimes Monday | 4.15.24
Hello everyone... I hope your Monday is starting easy! Mine started with a bit of an explanation point! Yes, just after midnight, I was awoken by the sound of an explosion of hail stones being hurled at the house. It was so loud and the winds were so wild! That...
