Tween earth and sky
It’s you and I.
Twins of bone and blood.
Squishing toes in mud.
The rain and snow may fall,
But WE are one and all.
None better than the rest,
With love within the breast.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “element.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
The elemental chart brings me to yawns. As crazy as I always was about science, chemistry class about did me in. Never a morning person, chemistry was first period. My teacher was a monotoned speaker. I did still come around for labs. I had a geek for a lab partner. She was fun and taught me well. I think it was due to her that I made a solid C+.
I always thought I could have done so much better if the class was later. If the teacher more excited about the subject matter. And if I could have approached the lessons with more creativity.
Drawing and coloring maps made the geography real. Singing the elements would have helped as little ditties always helped me remember. Games could have solidified information. I wish I was my own teacher!
Oh, nevermind. We all know my element. Creativity. Throw in some yarn and I’m in my element.
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “happy place.” Write the first thing that comes to mind when you think of “happy place.” Have fun!
In my heart of hearts, this is my happy place:
Since that is far, far away and impossible to get to, this is my happy place:
It keeps me out of trouble and gives me peace.
Hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend and celebrated a thoughtful, safe Labor Day, for those here in the states. And for those elsewhere, I hope you had a great few days.
It is Fall here. 94-100 degrees during the day but leaves are littering the porch and driveway proving a huge drop at night. We have hit high 30s (F)! Can you believe it? Really, this time I’m ready to let go of what used to be my favorite season. With no chance to swim and overwhelming flies and moths, bring on the chill!
So what are my latest WIPs? Many will look familiar but believe it or not, much progress has happened.
I’m feeling much better having crackled my back by moving pillows. It quit hurting. The bladder infection seems gone. No more pain. No temp. Here’s what I took besides drinking tons of water.
What are your WIPs? Oh, and
I’m having to go real slow in small bits on everything.
So much to learn. But healing first.
I brought my little kit with me. My friend and I sat and DPed while watching The Umbrella Academy.
It’s been in the 100s so sitting around in the cool house made for quieter fun.
Here’s what I got done so far.
Back side finished today. I still have a couple more forms to work on. This kit is portable and easy to do in small bits.
I’ve got a pair of socks going, too.
We took a little trip to see our friend. It was good to see her healthy. We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company at a park. Starting the visit with a COVID test to make sure the exposure she had from a previous meeting was negative is a weird way to start a visit. But we are rather in that vulnerable population so we have to be careful. She was negative. So we celebrated life.
I’m having a blast this week. Friends and my adult children on long visits are building my memory banks with love.
And that is how this hat came about.
After sealing one of my dragon diamond paintings, I found a need to do something while listening to my newest Libby. I remembered a few years before we moved I had gathered plastic bags. I took the time to fold them so they would be ready to start cutting the strips. Today seemed like a good day to get some plarn going. Here’s my process.
Keep looping and soon there is a ball of plarn to knit or crochet
I still have a lot of bags to process into plarn. Unlike when I first started recycling plastic bags, when bags needed to be recycled, now there are fewer bags due to laws. So I’m planning to be more conservative with what I have.
I’ll let you know how I decide to use my new plarn.
Happy Sunday!
