All libraries, great and small

On the way to the knitting group at the regular library, I dropped off the last few books from my Freecycling at the Little Free Library 

It's in the parking lot of the Arts center which used to be the Firehouse. And here's a few friendly greetings on the ground around the little library 

At the Big Library, there's currently a display of arrowheads, found in local fields,  and created by the Lenni Lenape, on whose ancestral land we live, and whom we celebrate with the long  weekend coming up.

The knitting group was small, probably because of the  long weekend, Monday being Indigenous Day, and here's a completed sock,  the second sock being finished in time for a birthday this weekend, also the first sock I've ever seen at the knitting group other than my own

the sock knitter, librarian C., was wearing one of her own tops, in a fine linen thread, a beautiful fabric. She's the maker of those marvellous fantasy animals I showed you a while back, very talented maker, musician, and children's librarian.

And there's a Halloween gnome in progress by F., who brought you the cute hats I showed you recently

A small group and a merry one, talk ranging over haunted houses, corn mazes, pumpkins, stiff necks and the latest exercise for them, children's art, board games, and more. There was also companionable silence sometimes, very comfortable.

Rain today, just right for more stitching on the wallhanging accompanied currently by Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan on YouTube. I did prune the butterfly bush, so it won't be pulled down by the rain, yay me,  great timing 

Happy day everyone, enjoy the season, the holiday if it's one for you, the weekend if not. And remember the indigenous people who first cared for the land a lot of us live on. 

If you're Australian, I hope they get your support in your upcoming indigenous people referendum. The US can't brag -- it's not so long since native Americans finally got citizenship and voting rights, and they have to fight endlessly against vote suppression. We all have work to do. 

Did you know that native Americans looked on transgender people as sacred, with insights into more of life than single gender people, to be protected?
