7-31-2024 Snakes and Socks and Bracelets...

Enjoyed a bit of snake energy today...

One girl wanted to name it Slithering...

the other girl wanted to name it Pancake.

Finished knitting another pair of socks last night...

My GD made me this beautiful beaded bracelet today!

To match hers.

Thank you soooooooo much!

I love it!

7-18-2024 Judgement

#letsmakeart #sketchaday #judgement

Judgement

from others,

or towards ourselves...

is something I am slowly learning to get past.

Who cares what others think

at this point in life?!?!?

We had a stormy drive home from Chicago today

and more storms this evening...

fueled by outdoor temps at 111*F...

And the next  morning...

a nest on the ground

with a broken robin egg...
