Similarities to DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD, but no plot, and missing the wonderful protagonist.

Similarities to DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD, but no plot, and missing the wonderful protagonist.

We visited Newport VT and Lake Memphremagog, biking from the city up to the Canadian border along the east side of the lake. I’m so used to Lake Champlain, it’s weird to bike north along a different big lake, and see totally different mountains on the other side, and return to a totally different Vermont city. Vermont is so much more than the places we usually go! Then we went to Kingdom Brewing where they had a band.

Finished this bracelet for a friend. Yes, in retirement I am just a crafting factory, and a biking machine.

Adorable children’s story Tolkien wrote for his second son, or Boy Two, after he lost his beloved toy dog on the beach. A real dog is enchanted into a toy dog, and then goes on adventures, up on the moon and under the sea. In the end he is transformed back into a real dog and sent home to Boy Two.

This is the story about a goddess who lives alone on a beautiful island where she dyes, spins, weaves, and casts spells.
No, just kidding. I wish it was. It’s an outlandish story with violence on almost every single page. Just one random violent thing after another.

The blue is my latest!

Going to attempt to make this into a bracelet for a friend.

I dyed a purple today which came out fine. I also dyed a yellow which I hate.
