Without Words Wednesday...

Wordless Wednesday...

 

 

 

 

In Common....

A coffee mug
An umbrella
Paris themed items
Notepads, journals, memo books

What do these 4 things have in common?  They are things I have to really fight hard to keep myself from buying when I spot them out and about!

What about you? What do you have to fight to keep yourself from getting?

Walking Around My Block...

I've taken a walk around this same block between 4 and 7 times a week - for as long as we've lived here. Which is 1978....  One time I will turn right when I leave my house - and the next time, I will turn left.  Our street is a loop with two entrances - and is a mile long. It is a nice mix of flat and hilly...  You would think I would get bored walking this same walk every time - but for some reason, I never have.... come along with me for a bit...

I'm going to go right today..... are you with me?

Now we are starting up a gentle slope. Okay, it is getting a bit steeper as we go along - stay with me!

 

 Ahhh a bit of shade - can you feel the coolness?

 

I'm not sure what this bush is called, but I love looking at it each time I go by. Watch out - the big bees like it too!

This used to be the biggest old beautiful tree. But sadly, for some reason, this year, it died... I was so sad when I saw them cutting it down. I actually wanted to go over and hit the people doing it!  But I restrained myself! I know you would have helped me do it tho! LOL!

Ahhh, we are back home... Now for a big glass of water!  And join me again the next time!

A Balancing Act...

It always seems to be a "balancing act" between reading and my other crafting (knitting and cross-stitch)... Sometimes I want to knit more and read less.... or read more and knit less...  Right now I'm craving reading!  I always read a bit every day - but with these long hot days, I'm feeling that rush I got growing up when I would sit under the tree in my front yard - or inside in front of a fan - and read and read and read!  And since I never travel... I do it via my books. Thought the one above would be a good pick to "take me away somewhere" so to speak!  They don't go to Paris in the book - but I just had to use my Paris postcard as my bookmark!  I like to try and match my bookmark to the book I'm reading - yes, I'm odd!

What about you? What are you reading on these hot summer days?!

Knitting - Reading....

Wrapped up in knitting this dishcloth. Just wanted something easy to work on when I'm too tired out to work on something complicated...

Wrapped up in this corrugated baktus (pattern free on Ravelry). It looks like corrugated cardboard in real life...

 

Wrapped up in reading this book.  Not too far in yet - but so far so good...and yes, that is a cat paw to the right!

 

 

 

Unwrapping a few of these here and there for sustenance and energy......
