2023 Project 365 – Week Twenty-four

Lots of pictures this week and I have no regrets. Well, I might have a few regrets, but not as regards photos.
Sunday, June 11th   
I was listening to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (I’d never read it!) and it got to the part about Babel Fish and that’s all I have to say about that. (Is this is most unflattering photo I’ve ever posted of myself? I say maaaayyyybbbeee…)

No photo.

Dr. M says: Danabug and I are well into our 15th season of living in farm country. Sharing the country roads (or even city streets in Xenia) with farmers and their equipment requires vigilance, patience, and respect. Don’t be afraid to slow down, hit the emergency blinkers, and tail a tractor pulling an impressive trailer of hay. Trust me: there are rewards, like easing through a shady hollow at tractor speed or the sheer beauty of a ripe field of wheat. And sometimes there are sheep!
 


Then when he got home he got an earful from the latest phoebe.
 

And then when I got home I got a special delivery!

Dr. M says: Singles, doubles, grand slams…you would think I’m obsessed with baseball. (To be fair, I’m also obsessed. A bit.)
 

Squish City!
 

When I got home I had another special delivery. I don’t know why I hadn’t gotten this light sooner – it’s a crochet game changer! (Also, Dr. M said something about headlights. Rude.)

Dr. M had “fun” updating two ancient laptops and one semi-ancient iPad.
 

Meanwhile I made an owl!

Lovely Lincoln County…
 


Two newcomers to the yard – asters and Ms. Pinky has deigned to send up a bloom.
 

My brother & I took Dad & Sue out for dinner (for Father’s Day). We had a lovely time. I amused myself by printing out a copy of the card I made him back in 2004, from when I used to belong to the Stampin’ Up cult. Ha!
 


Today is Father’s day, and I walked with my dad at the mall. We had a nice amble and discussed many important things. I hope my dad readers had a nice day. And my non-dad readers as well. Now I’m off to make a bear!

  1. I love those Lincoln County photos -- especially the barn. Is that a quilt pattern on its side? And I'm so pleased you got to share the day with your dads. It's been just over forty years since I lost mine, and I miss him more today than I did in the past. He was a great companion.

    I found what I think is some sort of daylily in a ditch last weekend. It's not a native, but it's orange, and resembles yours. I need to see if all you gardeners can ID it for me. I know diddly-squat about garden flowers.

    1. Yes - I think the barn is my favorite picture this week (although the rudbeckia gloriosa runs a close second).

      We call these daylilies ditch lilies because they're so often found in ditches. I'll bet yours is a variety of those!

  2. That owl is adorable! I can't wait to see your other animal squares.

    1. The bear is pretty cute too. Too bad I can't get them straight on the square (note: I COULD do it - I'm just not taking the trouble.).

  3. I've never read it though Marc has and all the sequels. look at all that yummy yarn. and I may need to get that light for when I'm making models, if I ever make any again.

  4. I love the owl! I read "Hitchhiker's Guide" YEARS ago -- like, in high school -- and I can't remember any of it now but I know I liked it at the time. Miss Pinky is only now producing a flower? What's she waiting for?

    1. She is in her annual snit. She usually would have flowered by now, but this year everything is slower than last year.

Thanks for stopping by - I'd love to hear what you have to say!

You know how I have a label on these posts called Drama Queen? There are at least two days this week that deserve that label. It means I’m e...
