Day 101 of 2026

I should have trimmed the hydrangeas a few weeks ago, 

but I didn't. 

I'm hoping to trim them tomorrow, but first I have to find the pruners. 

And maybe I should clean up the bed.

 

Day 100 of 2026

GB#2 sang a solo/duet tonight in front of a large crowd. 

What courage and confidence that takes. 

She and her singing partner did very well. 

I am so proud of them. 

 

Day 99 of 2026

I am within an inch of beginning the decreases

 of the other end of this hat. 

That sounds like a good time

 to show you my color inspiration. 

In the foreground is my hat. 

The background contains one of my favorite, 

ready-made scarves.

Quite a while ago I pulled colors from my sock yarn stash 

that were as close as I could get to the originals.  

My initial intention was to make striped socks, 

which I may still do,

but then this hat pattern came to mind from my mental queue. 

I don't know if I will ever wear the hat and scarf together,

 but it feels good to make another item 

that contains all these happy colors. 

Side note: I don't wear long scarves much anymore. 

I rather prefer a cowl so I may connect the ends

 at the proper length to make that happen. 

Second side note: The blue and blue with black sections 

are for the reverse side of the hat. 

It will make sense when I show you the final project.

 

Day 98 of 2026

Sometimes the best toys aren't toys.

 

Day 97 of 2026

Today's sunset is from the bridge over the highway. 

When I turned to go back to the car, my legs went all jelly on me. 

That was not fun.

Day 96 of 2026

Are you watching Big Bear Eagle Live Nest - Cam 1 on YouTube? 

I am obsessed. 

I apologize for the glare on the TV 

but couldn't resist capturing the feeding of the brand new eaglets.

 

Day 95 of 2026

Coloring eggs was a fun time for both children and adults alike.
