It's never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot Today is Memorial Day in the States. Many people thank Veterans for their service on today, but it's really about remembering those that have fallen in the line of duty. I believe that extends to many service professions not just the…Read more Summer Preparations
Knitting
Knitting Time
Housework is for those who don't knit. When I first started to knit, I had to focus on the stitches. I thought somehow a stitch in the middle would magically fall off the needles if I wasn't keeping an eye on them. Over time, I realized that wasn't going to happen, and I could actually…Read more Knitting Time
Multicolored May
Life is about using the whole box of crayons. Wildflowers are blooming, and pollen is in the air. Spring can be so vibrant with the colors of new growth. The Malabrigo Junkie group is celebrating Variegated skeins with a knit along. You know that skein that is so stunning in the hank it practically jumps…Read more Multicolored May
Weekend Forecast: Sunny
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. ~ Victor Hugo We've had record breaking rainfall in the PNW this year so it's exciting to see sun forecasted this weekend.

However, this week we're celebrating with a vanilla spinach smoothie. Yum! Okay, it's not quite the same as cake, but we both felt it…Read more Think Thin Thoughts
May’s First Liberated Orphans
Strength and growth come only through continous effort and struggle. ~ Napoleon Hill My knitting time has been scares these past few weeks. Granted this is just a finished hat, but it feels like a huge accomplishment. I did have to chuckle as it's no longer hat weather in the PNW, and I might already…Read more May’s First Liberated Orphans
Spring Cleaning
Embrace Change. It's been a long week and a rather short weekend here. It's finally started to get nice here in the PNW. This means good hiking weather. The British Hubby and I sort of fell off the wagon on our 52 hike challenge. Slowly our healthy diets and workout routines also went out the…Read more Spring Cleaning
Belated May Day
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. ~ Robert Frost This describes the start of May here in the PNW. I must admit, I sort of enjoy the rain. I suffer from seasonal allergies so the longer the rainy season lets, the better I can breathe. Normally, the British Hubby and I celebrate…Read more Belated May Day
