It’s only Tuesday. I had myself believing it was Wednesday.

I could use a lot of crossed fingers that Blu’s new part (hopefully arriving Tuesday) is The ONE to move her to healed. 🤞🏻#ford #fordbronco #fixmy2025fordbronco

It’s raining! Happy Monday!

🧶 yarn storage?! 😂

🌱 Wish this was where I live, but sent to me from Nebraska. 🧡🖤💛

Watching knitting tip videos this morning and I found one tip on counting rows. I typically write out the numbers and mark them off as I complete them which I forget to do often! This tip suggested using the number of stitch markers = rows & remove one as you complete each row or repeat. Useful!

Was this the death of the white out? Go ducks!

Well, wasn’t that fun! Go ducks!

Crew knows how I’m feeling about this knitting. I overshot by 3 rows so I start the day tinking. 🧶 We learn through our errors, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

🌱

Here’s Blu with her hood up. At least she’s being worked on! #FordBronco Get well soon.

What a Monday. My new car saga continues. 2025 #Fordbronco 1300 miles and it’s been in the shop 5 times. No resolution. Spending so much dealing with it. Limited response from Ford. So many stressors.

🧶 phone a friend! This is the second time I’ve purled back to the GSR stitch. I don’t think this is right. I’ve watched a couple videos and thought I had it, but it doesn’t look like I made the GSR correctly. 😬🤔

Making salsa. Apparently it smells good! #yellowlab #dogs #labs

Let’s make “pay it forward” mainstream again! It’s so negative out there, but you have power with caring and your heart to do something nice for someone. 🌱

🩷💜💚🤍

🧶 Be it knitting or crocheting, I often find I need to balance the pattern instructions on a clipbd & either have my computer open watching a video or a book to reference. I’m surrounded! I’d love to hear tips on how you set up your space.

Lighthouse in the distance.

🌊 Oregon coast

Beach day!

Gas prices uniformly above $4 a gallon now. Ouch. 🤕

Fall isn’t here yet!

Started a sweater I think I’ll wear. The collar is meant to be doubled, but I’m thinking of leaving it a single layer. I just don’t like bulk around my neck.

How would you handle a neighbor who has a backyard fire during the driest time of the year and when people open their windows to cool it down at night? Woke up to my home full of smoke.

Prep work! I love this green! PNW. 🧶 #knitting

Day 7 of my C2C Highlights walk for Life’s An Adventure guiding a group of 8 lovely Australians. Osmotherley to Clay Bank. We’re now on the Jurassic shales and sandstones, some 300 million years younger than the Lake District rocks. The North York Moors are beautiful.

Brilliant article. Read past the headline. apple.news/A4oDPSGFdS76...

I’ve finished most of the body of this sweater but every time I try it on I feel suffocated by the collar. I think I’m going to frog it. I’ve learned a lot and enjoyed knitting it, but if I never wear it, “why?”

Blu is home! Drove today with no check engine light popping on!

Dusk blooms.

I saw a burnt orange and black bumble today!

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

What do I say!? It’s mostly organized chaos. This is reality. I’m going to tackle it one surface at a time. 🧶

A finished object! 🧶

This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

Another “remember when”… You had a scheduled Sunday phone call to talk to family when long distance rates were cheaper…. Yup, we paid to call someone out of town.

Much better day today!

Remember when you asked for help on a matter & someone walked to the file cabinet & pulled out what you needed or made a phone call for you? Now it’s, “we have a company do that for us. Here’s the phone number. Oh, by the way, they are 3 hours ahead so you can talk with them tomorrow.”

I’m very cranky today.

🌱 Awww, so glad for Thursday!

This is Blu. (Yes Jan, we’ve got good taste!) Blu is a newbie in this world so I’m documenting her 1sts and maybe 2nds. She’s been here for close to a month & has been to see the shop 3 times already. She’s so special the engineers r involved now. She has 800 miles under her belt. #1stpinksunset 🐎

So many of these bumblebees in my flowers!

Tomatoes! Gotta love August! 🌱

Monday is a memory. 🌱

It was a mild summer day which allowed for a few hours of gardening cleanup. Some tasks were due in June, but I’m still feeling accomplished. 😉

Bumble naps 🌱

🌱 The “why”!

Morning! 🌱
