GREETINGS
The sun is trying to peek through the cloudy skies. We are suppose to have scattered showers for the next few days. Good for the gardens. Then a batch of sunny and cool weather.
LILLY PADS SUMMER VACATION
Lilly Pad has been here for most of the summer. Chris has set up a place for her on the window sill, with pillows. This is the flight plan for many of the birds that live on the farm and Lilly Pad enjoys the show. She misses Chris while he is away but I am spending time with her every day and she seems content with that.
NEW KNITTING PROJECT
Chores seem to consume my life and the things I love to do get pushed aside. I have made a commitment to myself to spend time doing the things I love, be it Spinning, Knitting or Rug Hooking.
This new knitting pattern is really an old one which I found in the attic a few weeks ago. It was down at the bottom of a box in a bag. It was something I had bought before I moved to Maryland and had just a little started. Well I started a new tea cozy yesterday and I love working on it.
The pattern is making me do things I had done many years ago and forgotten how to do them (bobbles). FUN. I am planning to make the next one larger.
WHERE DOES THE SOAP YOU USE AT HOTELS GO
This is a question I have always wondered about its seems like such a waste. But I have come across the Global Soap Project and am thrilled. I am not sure what hotels are involved but kudos’ to the ones that are. The soaps are gathered and sent to a place where they are sanitized and made into larger bars. Then are sent to poor countries where just the basic hand washing will prevent many diseases that kill children. Check them out they have a great web site which explains it all.
Since I have been writing this the sun has gone out and clothes need to be hung on the line. Many thanks for reading my blog today, I hope you have a sunny day too. Carole
