Chop wood, carry water, finish yarn

Natural art happened early this morning. It's that time of year when early sun reflects off east facing windows across the street then back across to my west facing kitchen window and through to the living room.

So I get morning sun from the west, which amuses me every year. Here it's lighting up, among other things, some hand stitched ornaments Handsome Partner used to put on his little tree. A colleague of his made them. 

Today was chop wood, meaning peel and steam that big haul of carrots, carry water meaning realize I needed clean clothes and doing a load of laundry, also wash a sinkful of  dishes,  start engine, meaning run car a few minutes, she started lovely, and take out garbage. 

Also walk a bit, sniffing lovely cold wake you up air.  

Then home to a pot of tea with bread sticks and havarti cheese, courtesy of Handsome Son.

I caught up on podcasts while I finished that yarn, I think. I believe it was one skein.

But I think I'll continue the giant granny square a bit, because it's fun to do and I have colors that will work with it. 

I also have a stack of granny squares and pinloom woven squares which will work. 

I had a dream that one of my sisters gave birth to quintuplets. All dressed differently, she told me their names, and seemingly already toddlers! I was very worried in case I had to take over their care. Quite glad to wake up. Dreams are brain circuits criss -crossing I suppose.  

And I had a hilarious online exchange about avian reproduction, and what people don't understand about it. Which I'll expand on if you would like. It's pretty funny to anyone who's bred birds, as I have, though inadvertently. That's also funny. Lemme know if it's something you'd like to read, rather than tldr.

Happy day everyone, don't count your chickens..

And look who sent me Christmas greetings, the last of a wonderful presidency
