Friday

For those who suggested on my last post that there was probably a fawn nearby the Mama, you were right. I got a few snapshots in my neighbor's yard before they ran off. 

I little speckled baby. So small!

I'll try for some better pictures in the future.

I've been working on a pair of socks, and pondering which bigger project I should start next.

Outdoor knitting has been lovely. 

Reggie has been getting his walks early. It's way too hot later on in the day for him. As it is, he comes home and plops himself down under the ceiling fan in the sunroom as soon as he comes in the house after a walk. 

These are the modest poses. I won't post the pictures of how he usually lies. Quite the exhibitionist.

Bella doesn't have daily walks any more. At 14, her exercise is in the yard. But she still feels the heat.

Lastly, I wanted to tell you that today I took down most of my yarnbombing. There are two reasons for this. The first is that it was always intended to be temporary. The goal was to make people smile during self-isolation, whether walking by my house, or seeing it on here. It was uplifting for me to do this daily. But it was intended to come down after isolation guidelines were lifted. Our state has gone into Stage 2, which lifts many of these guidelines. 

Second, the need for this daily whimsy has changed for me. The world has changed in just in one month. I feel like this kind of creativity has become a bit irrelevant. I will always be someone who looks for whimsy in life, but maybe not in this way any more. So I left up 4 pieces for now. Thank you so much for all of your kind comments. It was a great experience. And stay tuned- I'm not going to stop blogging!
