Day 227 of 2025
I think it's been a while since I've posted
some of my backyard critters.
I just happened to look up from my paperwork
and out the door
to see this chubby little chipmunk resting on the deck.

I shared some of my purchases from the weekend with Little E today
on our weekly video call.
This one is earmarked for a cute tank top.
(Weekend photos coming tomorrow)

It's time for me to head to the airport,
but the Mountain had to surprise me one more time.
It always amazes me.

Day 219 of 2025
I know it's hard to see what's going on here so I will explain.
I wanted to make a pair of pajama pants.
I went to my fabric stash to look for three yards of fabric.
Before I was even able to really look
I found this pair of Vera Bradley pajama pants
that I bought at Goodwill years ago to cut up
and use as borders on a quilt.
I had even picked out coordinating fabric
which I found rolled together with the pants.
It appeared that they might fit me so I took a closer look.
The elastic in the back waist was rotten so I replaced the elastic.
My favorite thing though is that I was able to add inseam pockets.
I love inseam pockets and intend to add them to most anything I can.
I can't wait to wear these.

Update on the glue search:
I looked in a drawer in the kitchen desk
to see if I could find the glue for my shoe repair.
I did not see it so I started cleaning out the drawer instead.
In the back I found an old cigar box.
When I opened it, this is what I found.
I don't need these so they are not going to stay here,
but I had to take a picture as they reminded me
of this puzzle I did back in 2020.
When I cleared out the rest of the drawer, I did find my glue.
I have now fixed my sandals.
There is no need to shop for new sandals
or buy more shoe repair glue.

When we were in San Diego Little E gifted me with a beautiful shawl she knit.
I plan to take it with me on an upcoming trip
so I thought I would give it a nice wool wash soak and blocking.
Even in cool water it was bleeding color.
I believe it was coming from the contrast color trim yarn.
I rinsed it five or six times and it finally stopped.
It now lies on a beach towel on a bathroom floor
along with a cute cropped sweater
that Little E made for me a couple years ago
that I also plan to take with me.
I hope they are both dry in time.
Note: All previous Big Adventure posts (Days 204-209)
have been updated with photos.

Day 216 of 2025
This is the top three shelves of the laundry closet.
I am looking for something again.
A while back I bought some shoe glue from the shoe repair shop
to fix a favorite pair of boots.
I did not repair them yet
but did repair another pair of shoes with it.
Now my favorite sandals are coming apart.
I have no idea where I put this random item,
but the logical place seems to me to be here with the shoe polish.
I did not find it here.
I'll look somewhere else tomorrow.
If I can't find it by Wednesday, I see two options -
buy more shoe glue from the shoe repair shop
or buy a new pair of sandals.
They should be on sale by now.

Fireball and I are cleaning up after finally
getting the tree, in the background next to the ladder,
that was damaged in a storm in June trimmed up.
While I was up on the ladder, I also cut out all the dead limbs I could find.
The job took much longer than I had imagined it would.

Evidently our ginkgo tree has a dead limb somewhere.
It is throwing parts of it down on our shade structure to let us know.
