A few teas I ordered from Harney & Sons just got here on Saturday, and I have a few new ones in the mix. The Molly Hatch Camilla’s Blend is a really tasty fruity black tea – plum and cherry are the main fruit flavors I got when trying it out. It is delicious, and… Continue reading Novel Tea
We are having what looks like it might be spring going on here. I’m being very cautious about it, because “that 2 weeks in March that make you think it’s spring” is famous hereabouts. Mostly after that two weeks, it snows a bunch again, cruelly dashing all our hopes and bringing coats and boots back… Continue reading Spring is Possibly Springing
The last big project is winding down, so it’s time to think about what’s next! This weekend I plan to start by putting in some serious time on my Fade and see how far I can get with it before distraction carries me off again. April 1 we will see the details of the next… Continue reading Up Next
Today was a quiet at-home day for a change, so I had a chance to get my cowl pattern mostly written out and formatted as well as some other yarn chores. I got some new acquisitions put away, and some of the bins reorganized so they will work out better with current activity. Finally, I… Continue reading Quiet Yarny Day

DH is the organized one in our house, so I’m usually not involved with the tax prep process except to answer a few questions and sign my name a dozen times. Knitting really helps pass the… Continue reading Stalling Tactic
Welcome to my new entertainment obsession – the Welcome to Night Vale podcast. It is not a new podcast, having been started in 2012. But it’s new to me, so one of the things that’s exciting is that there is quite a lot of it to listen to 🙂 The format is you are listening… Continue reading Podcast to Knit By
Today was the ceremonial start of the Iditarod sled dog race in downtown Anchorage! DH and I went to enjoy part of the start, and to take in a little more Fur Rondy wackiness. The ceremonial start goes right through Anchorage, starting in the heart of downtown and going more or less diagonally across the… Continue reading Iditarod Start!
