happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling
I literally sat there, watching them, for 10 minutes. Yes, that cat seriously considered trying to catch the iguana. His brother caught a smaller one the day before and all four cats feasted on it. I guess he wanted to have a great dinner like that again. So he carefully and slowly crept closer and…
My grandson’s sweater is coming along. Such a fun and easy pattern (Flax by TinCanKnits)! I really love how it’s turning out. And while light blue may not be the most sensible color to knit for a two year old boy that loves to be outside, I think it will look wonderful with his blue…
Last Saturday I cut down some trees, but my body wasn’t up to more of that kind of activity on Sunday. So I looked for something else to do and realized it was a perfect time to tackle this mess. Yes, that’s my craft supplies. All jampacked in there because I wasn’t using it anyway….
It’s been raining a lot this past week. That’s normal for this time of year and we’re very grateful for it. It’s what keeps this island from turning into a desert. It’s mostly real tropical showers: extremely heavy rain for a short period of time. Between showers it’s still warm and mostly sunny. I like…
Do you see that? It’s happening! I’m knitting. I know. Nothing to be excited about for most of you. But for me… apart from two simple headbands (just 2″ k1p1 ribbing in the round) I haven’t been knitting (or crocheting or sewing for that matter) at all this year. So yes, I am very excited….

I got a very kind and concerned comment on my last post telling me to be gentle on myself and to take small steps. That was exactly what I was thinking about after posting that.Okay, to be honest… at first I was thinking that I really want to be skinny and fit and healthy and…
Oh wow, I didn’t realize it had been so long since I last wrote something here. So much has happened since then. After that last post temperatures rose even more and we got to a point where we couldn’t take it anymore. My husbands heart was acting up and I was just… well, sick constantly….
Lately I’ve been trying to form the habit of taking a little walk in my garden each morning. I do bring a bucket and pruning shears to be able to remove a bit of unwanted growth here and there, but my main goal is to walk slowly, to connect to the garden, to be mindful…
I’ve been thinking about blogging a lot. I know, I know… I say that every time when I’m not blogging at all. But it’s true. I have been thinking about it a lot. I never stop blogging because I don’t want to blog anymore. I stop blogging when every attempt at writing a blogpost results…
