Visit more of the areas where my ancestors lived. So far, I've visited four areas.

This assumes that 'his country' is Russia.

Blue Jay coffee, Main St, Lewiston, ME - delicious drinks, amazing people.

Looks like butterflies.

I'm squarely in favor of your enjoying food in a few days. Chemo may be your brakes, but food is part of what makes life worth living.

Chunky Walnut, pattern by Katrin Shubert. Yarn is a chunky Finn produced by Physics Fiber and found at Maine's Fiber Frolic.

Got prepped for the drywall and painting crew. Water damage, screw pops and tired pain will be fixed starting tomorrow.

I figured it my grandmothers could do it, so could I. They made it look easy. Now I mostly used circular needles, and I bet the would have it good ones had been available back then.

I work almost entirely in wool, camelid and silks. My bits, bobs and single balls also get worked into charity pieces.

Pattern name? I love entrelac.

Well, the scarf on my loom isn't going to weave itself. ;)

Lovely. What are the measurements when you make it in DK?

Mum to an adult with special needs. Gallows humor gets one through a lot of stuff.

🤣 I had a grandfather with this type of world view. Thanks for the chuckle.

I'm wishing you lots of life until the brakes can no longer be applied. Every one of us has an expiration date. Most remain ignorant of the fact.

Their brains are not completely installed yet.

The boy-mom corollary is 'no, you are not wearing shorts to school in February'.

I'm close to finishing a knitting project. I've been saving leftovers for some time with the idea of knitting them up as a 'something from nothing' project. It has been a positive focus for me in all the insanity going on in D.C.

You expect me to roll over and shut up? They need to hear that folks are not amused.

Call your Senator and your Fed. Representative. I did this today.

Nice idea. We use tomato cages, which don't work as well as the peony cages that are available, but we have them already. Supplemented their soil with fireplace ash last Spring, and they went wild with blooms.

support our neighbors? They do appreciate it.

I mostly agree with your list. Remember that we grow strawberries here in the US, and can freeze them for Winter. Also, see Maine, NH, VT and a few other states for maple syrup.

Thanks!
