Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers.

You Only Live Twice
Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too much. ~ Ruskin Bond The past few days have been extremely hot in the PNW.

Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. Wow, where did the week go? I had planned to post this earlier in the week, but the day job has kept me busy.

Four Skeins Full
In the rhythm of the needles, there is music for the soul. June seemed to drag on and on forever, and now July is flying by. Or that's how it feels. I think it's due to the lack of knitting time I've had lately. I always think I can knit faster than I really can.…Read more Four Skeins Full
Friday Night I and Friday Night II
Some people can't believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first. ~ Good Will Hunting With the holiday weekend in the States last week, the British Hubby and I had a chance to have two Friday night movie nights.

Social Distancing with Jaws
Mayor Vaughn: “Amity as you know, means friendship.” ~ Jaws Growing up, the British Hubby never celebrated July 4. Why would he? This is not an important day in UK history.
