Today's Five Things

Here are the five things I'm grateful for today:

  • Several short sunflowers in the garden are, indeed, going to flower after all. They are a deep, rusty red. Another HUGE yellow one, which the chipmunks must have planted, is set to bloom in front of the house.

  • We had a lovely rainstorm today. I love gray-clouded days.

  • Valentine and I made it home safely in said rainstorm, after delivering Jeff's grandfather for his physical therapy. Val was a hit at the medical center.

  • Having Valentine. He is such good company for me. I'm so glad we found him. He is the best dog I have ever had the privilege to know.

  • Having more fibery projects than I know what to do with. I'm thankful that I have a sweater in the works, sock yarn ready to go, and natural-dyed fiber ready to spin.

    Sometimes I may get frustrated at my equipment (like my new, faulty wheel last night) - then I think of those who can't afford one spinning wheel, let alone as many as I have (don't even talk about spindles!) and I realize how richly blessed I am... how most of us are. Sometimes we fret about all of our UFOs or our stash... but think for a moment how blessed we are to have this "stuff," and the kind of lifestyles that allow us at least a little time to pursue our interests! I'm really thankful for my big, fibery mess today.


Herman Update

Nothing yet. The chrysalis looks somewhat more opaque today. I hope that is a good thing. Jeff and I check several times throughout the day and night to see what's happening. I promise to photograph the big event, if it should come to pass. I can see Herman's jar from my computer now... still nothing...

There, I kept it short today for you. Have a great one!
