Modest Progress

Isn't this an interesting image of 'progress'? Notice that all the people depicted (besides the ideal itself) are male? Hmmm. If you click on the photo, you can go read the Wikipedia article. Myself, I have less lofty goals and... Continue reading

We've come to the shank end of winter here in eastern Maryland ... or the bare beginning of spring. Depends on your outlook. :) It has been nine days since I posted here ... which is generally not a good... Continue reading

We got more snow today ... not much accumulation but it was dreary and gray and precipitating most of the day. Luckily, I could stay inside in the warm and SEW. :) One of the fabrics I'm using has bicycles... Continue reading

At long last, I am slowly emerging from the viral swamps. Wednesday I went out to the local grocery store for a quick trip (I was sooooo bored:). Thursday was the last day of my steroid series of pills and... Continue reading

I've been keeping that proverbial low profile for several days now with very mild improvements in my cold/flu/infection/whatever-I-have. :P Today has been a little better since I finally managed to sleep horizontally last night for the first time in a... Continue reading

Hack, Gag, Rattle

Yes, this completely represents what I feel like today. :P No, I'm not a smoker but my lungs sound like I've been on a pack-a-day for decades. :P Yesterday was a fun time. My friend Barbara and I went to... Continue reading

Our local winter wonderland has dissolved in a heavy series of raindrops - it rained continuously for hours last night until this afternoon (my back property line where the drainage easement runs looks like a river). Mostly gone. Sigh. I... Continue reading

I hope you can visualize the video above. It shows the pattern of impacts (real ones, deduced from the crater evidence on the Moon's surface) over time on the Moon's face. I find it fascinating. :) Today was a gray,... Continue reading

One of the fun things about my Apple Watch (bought by my husband for my birthday present a couple of years ago) is that the face designs can be changed at my whim. I've been using Kaleidoscope for some time... Continue reading

The snow last night has accumulated all day today, too (it's still snowing out, slowly, as I type:). Heavy wet snow that weighs down the bushes and trees. Hugh helped me fill the bird feeders last night so the little... Continue reading

Did a little with this tool today, at long last (well, six days without sewing is a long time for me:). Late in the afternoon, I got twitchy and had to sit down to sew _something_ ... could not focus... Continue reading
