Inch by inch, it's a cinch

This applies to the weaving which is finally making sense to me, and here's the latest. Yes, this form needs a lot of weaving in of ends.

I think I've got the daisy motif down, and there's no stopping me now.  Today daisies, tomorrow the world! Well, tulips anyway.

For some reason I found myself making a pound cake, from Baking on a Budget, first I ever made, though I've baked a lot of cakes. 

It smells good. A slice with strawberries later maybe.

Why I didn't notice the temp was going here, not really suited to baking, I don't know 

I was probably distracted by the accidental fridge art shadows 


I was out walking earlier while it was cool, just wandering about in new directions until I found myself near my own house, to my surprise. I must have walked in a more or less circle.

Back home the flower seeds are sprouting and suddenly the hibiscus is there. Every year I think oh, dead twigs, nothing happening, until overnight it does this 

This one will have lovely white flowers with red centers. 

I had an egg salad with chopped tiny red peppers and a wrap for lunch, very pretty, and thank you all for the ideas. With a strawberry milkshake.  And I planted the pepper seeds, why not.

I planted them in the sunflower pot because I think the birds may have swiped the sunflowers I saw sprouting. No sign of digging, the squirrels are staying away from the peppermint, so birds feeding young is my guess. Silly fellers, I was going to let the flowers go to seed for the birds anyway.

Various updates:

I now have a tentative way to get checks deposited without ride arrangements. I have a derma appointment close by, in December, not too far off my regular annual date. I've put in a call to the dryer vent people. Next week I have lab work and a COVID appointment set up.  So far so good.

My Governor has defended using the state police at the ICE prison, right before withdrawing them and letting the local mayor take over security. She's stopped ICE from attacking protesters and Delaney Hall is now (a bit) less chaotic. 

There's a judge's order to release a Colombian national today. And the Leg. and Governor are now behind legislation to require attorneys be provided for detainees. 

I think Gov Mikie's in a hurry to erase this week's botched work. Fine.

Happy day everyone, bit by bit we can get things dun. 

Which reminds me: when people say tell us about your experience in your own words, wtf does that mean? In who else's words can you tell your own lived experience? Just asking.
