What the Wind KnowsWhat the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My cousin recommended this wonderful book. I am so sad to leave it. Yes, there were tears at the end but not so much for sad ending, but sad because the story ended. I think I am going to have read/listen to it again.

Amy Harmon writing kept me so engaged that I didn’t want to go to sleep. I was lucky to hear the narration of Saskia Maarleveld , Will Damron. I prefer to hear the language of the Irish spoken by those who can speak it best.

If you are crazy about Outlander, like I am and time travel by any means, this is your book.

I would write a longer review but I am on my tablet so must keep this brief. All I can say is I highly recommend this book, expecially using Audible!

Stream of Consciousness Saturday


I hate collars. I feel like I am choking. I don’t mind a turtleneck as long as it is loose. But most collars are constricting. That includes necklaces. The weight of the necklace even if a long one makes my neck and back hurt. It is probably my imagination, but I have quit wearing anything restricting, and that includes on my neck.

I don’t know why this prompt didn’t grab me in any way, but there it is. I went to Pixabay and found a cute dove. I think I will show you this sweetie.

Good Evening


Had a good night talking with my now healthy son. 😁💜

Thankful Thursday


A couple people have asked how we are doing. So far we are okay in our little Oregon town. But the news of nearby towns is tragic. My son is getting well. My other son broke his pinky toe in solidarity. I’m kidding. It is just a coincidence. But he’s okay. We’re okay. It is 2020 so keeping good thoughts for all of us, all of you, too!

One-Liner Wednesday

Made It Monday


KB skinny Flexee Loom.

Skinny Flexee Loom

80 pegs divided four by four for a brim. Then used the knitted sections to make a four peg left-leaning cable.

When I reached 7 inches I started the decrease crown like this:

Then instead of finishing as Kristen did, I moved the loops to make sure I could remove every other link. Then I started another round of decreases. I love how smooth the crown looks when it is on a real head. Now I am making a toddler-sized copy. I love doing the cable and the crown stuff!

By the way, when you look at this photo from CBS Sunday Morning yesterday it’s just sad numbers.

When you know someone it is personal. Yes, my son tested positive. He’s doing lots of sleeping and bingeing shows, his fever is lower now and the cough seems to have lessened. He’s trying to keep his friends and family aware of his progress on FaceBook and his spirits seem good, if not bored. So I am taking comfort in that.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “sharp.” Use it in any or all of its definitions. Have fun!

 

Sharp as a tack (sounds painful)

Run over a sharp you get a flat (musical humor)

Look sharp (pay attention or looking good)

Keep sharp (as painful as keeping your eyes peeled?)

Sharp turn (go slow!)

Rev. Sharp

Sharp cheese far different than a

Sharp knife

Sharpening wits  or

Sharpening a pencil — could amount to the same thing.

Okay. I’ve run this stream to the dullest conclusion for the word sharp.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Of the three books in this series so far, this is my favorite. I’m beginning to warm up to the characters and the story. With all there is going on in the world a nice fantasy can help give you a breather. So rather than making this review longer, I say, try the series. You might like it! By the way, I found these on Kindle Unlimited. Not a bad deal, huh?

Not a lot to say today. Except, it was 95F today and expecting 100F tomorrow. Blogging on my phone to avoid hot laptop. Regaining my daily posting goal. No info on son’s test yet.
