I finished my scrappy no-show socks. I thought they’d fit me but they are slightly too small, so off to a friend.
I still have more of that purple-bluey yarn so I started toes for a new pair.
I finished my Uke strap.
The snow finally melted. We are told on the news, that though we started our week in the winter we will have Spring and then Summer by the weekend. Crazy Oregon! I love it!
The quail are enjoying the shelter from the mesquite.
I woke up early to the best snow of this year. What? It’s May!!!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “note.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Let it be noted, that I’m not wanting to write right now. It has been a barometric-changing all day. Windy, rainy, and it’s snowing now.
All of this made my joints hurt and brain foggy.
The foggy brain didn’t think that knitting and tinking alllll day was ergonomically bad. How smart is that?
BUT, I finished the Ukulele strap. So as soon as I finish this note, I’ll pull out the Uke and attach the strap.
Then listen for the chords and strums and licks, and notes.🎶🎵🪈🎸
I’m halfway through the new Sudoku book.
Hey, the part that is the hardest and happiest: I’m learning Imagine by John Lennon. I’m not very good but here’s how I’m learning it.
My fingers have developed calluses but that is bad for recorders because now it’s hard to tell if the little holes are closed tightly so I get more squeaky noises than I did before picking up the Uke. Ah, well, I’m having fun.
That’s not all but all I have energy to report.
Oh, my hair is growing and I’m adding messy bun hairpieces to my short ponytail.
Diamonds and Daggers by Nancy Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After reading serious books, I like to take a reading vacation. The Vampire Knitting Club is a fun place to go. Not your usual vampires. These are sophisticated, mostly non-neck-biting types. They meet in the original owner’s residence above and below the yarn shop. They knit. Anyone who knows me understands my affection for the wooly soft stuff.
It is the original owner’s granddaughter who owns the store now. Her grandmother is now a vampire. It was the only way to save her life. But she can’t be seen in the shop. It really upsets the customers to see their favorite yet dead yarn expert walking around.
Each and every volume of this series is fun and wrapped around some murder. Don’t doubt for a minute the pointy needles are harmless. But they do remind one of the canine teeth, don’t they?
Add to all that, the grandmother and granddaughter are witches. Well, the granddaughter didn’t know that until she inherited the shop when her grandmother supposedly passed. Now she is learning to knit and to ‘witch.’ In this particular volume, she is learning about her athame. Dagger.
Sarah Zimmerman narrates the Audible version I was reading/listening to. She isn’t too irritating, but her attitude seems a bit too high society for the main character, but you get used to it. At least you don’t get lost. And the author writes a wonderful story and keeps you engaged and wanting more.
I have already finished and started number 12. These books are a bit of a drug of fun for me. I hope you all get to read them.
Yay, Z!
I don’t know why this was a tough month. The challenge was extra challenging.
You would think the alphabet could be easy. It’s not been that hard in the past.
But so had Camp NaNo. You want to know how far I got on that goal? Zero. Zip.
Yep, once again editing, writing, and my podcast and piano goals got nothing but yawns. Yippee!
But… Yarn got a lot of attention. Many socks nearly jumped off the needles. I seem to have a lot of zest for knitting.
Oh, well. Zippity Do Dah!
The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA by Liza Mundy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whoa! This is a lot! A crazy book to read at bedtime. My emotions were all over the place.
It’s worth the read. So much information! I love that the author did the narration, as you could tell her heart was in the read.
It’s so late at night that I can’t think of what to say that will help others to want to check out this book. It is so worth the read. I’m just warning you. If anger, excitement, sadness, hopelessness, regret, hope, and other huge emotions keep you awake, you might want to read this earlier in the day. I had too many 3 AM bedtimes that didn’t turn into actual sleep. Emotions about women, historical events, and all the wins and losses we’ve all lived through, but receiving only partial information played through my head, wondering what I would have done. What could I have done? How about the personal situations I’ve been through like some of these women; what needed to be done?
So read it for yourself and learn what you can. I was lucky to get to read (listen to) it on Libby.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “show.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!
Plus, I think I am on the letter
It seems obvious:
Where’s the show?
X marks the spot.
So, I guess it’s a creek of Consciousness. I should at least show I have a mind to follow.
Still, nothing is coming up.
This xes out the whole process. Sorry. No show today.😥

The Depth Behind The Ordinary
Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
