An ordinary month with lots of flowers. We had a fair amount of home time. The hikes are detailed in the next post.
The knitting:
Hitchhiker scarf, in progress
Slip stitch blanket, finished and ready for winter. It goes well with the Jane Austen quilt.
Ankle socks, ready for someone’s birthday.
The quilting and sewing, and home improvement..
I squared up the top of the Modern Mystery Quilt – next steps are to make the backing, then quilting.
I made a new curtain for the vaulted front window.
We replaced our ailing stove…
The last pot of ratatouille on the “old” stove.
The new induction range, fully installed and ready to train us in a new skill – digital cooking.
Also around the house –
Neighborhood walks – colorful flowers…
Sidewalk shadows and cracks…
Early Halloween beginning to creep in…
In other news of the world – more evidence of climate change; and as I am writing this in October, devastating events in Gaza, in Ukraine, in congress. I try not to obsess, and stay hopeful, but I also feel the need to mention them in this personal chronology…

We went to Art in the Pearl in Downtown Portland over Labor Day weekend. The artists’ creativity and color inspire a sense of hope in me in a time of distress for the world.
And the one that came home with us…
