The town is called Sequim, which is pronounced “squim.” I just love saying that.

The thrills, the chills, the spills… we had it all on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Stay tuned for more.

Good-bye for nearly two weeks, Housey! I’ll miss you!

Independence Day 2024

(Re-Read)
I read this just last year, but re-read because I am newly resolved to stop eating UPF, no little exceptions here and there which then let the big exceptions sneak in. No more diet juice, sugar-free hard candies, weird bottled drinks.

Gardening teaches me gratitude! Because although the rabbits may have eaten all my spring vegetables, I still have a jungle of tomatoes.

I put electric netting fence around my garden. The bunnies go right through it. But bright side at all times – it keeps the goats out, so I can let them graze semi-attended.

Twas a dyeing day. My colors came out more orange than I’d intended because I accidentally used Flame Red rather than Ruby Red. Arghhhhhh! Good thing I don’t vend anymore – orange never sells!

Laughed out loud super-frequently. What great therapy.

Occasionally I still work on my “Inventory of Everything” project. Today I learned I have exactly 100 issues of Spin-Off, fondly dating back to Summer 1998 – when we first got angora goats. I also have 24 Wild Fibers – that was a good one, now defunct. And 35 Ply. I don’t like the vibe of Ply as much as Spin-Off somehow.
