Day 135 of 2026

I love this restaurant floor. 

I can see this as a quilt using striped fabrics. 

I can also see some of those stripes coming from my scrap bins.

After eating our dinner here near this floor, 

Fireball and I went to see our eldest perform 

in a production of Kiss Me Kate. 

It was such fun!

 

Day 134 of 2026

GB#5 is officially a preschool graduate 

and will start kindergarten in the fall. 

She was pretty excited that we were both wearing red.

 

Day 133 of 2026

I've had a hard time getting back to my red socks 

after finishing my Musselburgh hat. 

I'm back to it now 

and have finished the heel flap on sock number one 

and have started the flap on the second one. 

I'm hoping to finish these pretty quickly 

as the weather is getting warmer

 and I have outdoor projects I'd like to get done this year. 

Of course, I also have other knitting projects in queue

 that I'd like to get to.

 

Day 132 of 2026

I am very much a rule follower 

and because of that I find it hard to understand

 what I came upon at this intersection. 

The light is red and the two cars at the front

 are both completely beyond the white line

 behind which we are required to stop. 

This puts them entirely in the crosswalk, another big no-no. 

I guess I just don't understand people.

 

Day 131 of 2026

The annual Decorators' Show House visit for us was today. 

Although beautiful and beautifully done, 

this was not one of my favorites over the years. 

I didn't find many practical ideas to bring home 

and there were no landscape or garden areas designed or displayed. 

I did find that I was inspired by the colors of some of the artwork 

and this was one of my favorite design elements in the house. 

 

Day 130 of 2026

My Purple Clematis is blooming again.

 

Day 129 of 2026

We're back at the theater. 

This one's pretty easy. 

The show was very good, the performers were all excellent 

and the voices were amazing.
