I Like Thursday #184

I like seeing a moon during the daylight!

Welcome to this week's list of likes.

I like the birdsong from this natural area in the 'hood

I love a sticky roller. I use it all over the house... for instance
after grooming the poodle, little hairs are all over our clothes, so a quick roll before laundry saves the washer drain and dryer lint filter
clearing stray threads from batting or a quilt top before basting is easier
picking up tiny things like sequins or beads from the studio floor (or any items on any floor)

During the great sort of 2020, I found UFO's and organized them into tidy bins, keeping a roster of what each bin held so I can find things again. I also went thru some random purchases and bags of stuff from the move, and found this hat and scarf I was knitting when we  came to this house from the rental.

Hat? done! Scarf? on it's way!

I finished the hat and now have a mindless scarf to knit while watching shows
I've already worn the hat and it is very stretchy but snug, perfect for the constant winds here

 I also came across this wild fleece

hahaha who's that for?!

  and made Milo another sweater, and an outdoor coat with it!

sure it's warm but will my dog friends laugh at me?

The breakfast (or snack) of champions

... a black bean quesadilla. Place a dab of butter in a pan, then whole wheat tortilla, some shredded cheese over that, then some refried black beans, some chopped tomatoes, some avocado, and a spoon of salsa. Let crisp up, fold over, slide onto a plate and microwave for 30 seconds. Cut into four pieces.

Ahhhh blue skies

I liked meeting new neighbors last weekend. The warmer temps and sunshine brought people out of their houses, and we met three couples last weekend. It's my opinion that knowing and being known by neighbors creates a better living environment. Now I am not guaranteeing I remember their names but I remember, Matt and Debbie, Donna, Ginger. Four out of six ain't bad.

Another neighbor rode by on her bike and said "I like your hair... did you do something to it?"
(like not brush it, sure..)
then she added, "did you frost it?"
LOL
Nature frosted it with gray! I replied
she said, "well that's the best kind"
(all righty then!)

I think my nails are growing stronger with this:

they haven't broken to the nubs yet anyway

I LOVED this video, it's from the recent SAQA exhibit inspired by our views of nature. I am aware that some people are not concerned with our environment, but I believe this view to be shortsighted.

The video I share this time is of an innovative piece of art. The most important part to me was the artist's words.... her care and connection to the whole world, her belief that one person makes a difference. Ahhhh, my kind of thinking

It's a vimeo and I don't know how to embed that here but the link is

the link to see the whole exhibit and other artists explaining their work is here

Tomorrow I have some cool links for Paint Party Friday and more on Sewing Saturday

 
on a scary note: this was on the Writer's Almanac yesterday

It was on this day in 1918 that the first cases of what would become the influenza pandemic were reported in the U.S. when 107 soldiers got sick at Fort Riley, Kansas. It was the worst pandemic in world history. The flu that year killed only 2.5 percent of its victims, but more than a fifth of the world's entire population caught it — it's estimated that between 50 million and 100 million people died in just a few months. Historians believe at least 500,000 people died in the United States alone.

 be careful out there
