Fun Friday

Happy things from today:

  • The flowering plant I saw, briefly, yesterday in the front yard was not a daffodil.  According to the Lens app it is a Fritillaria pudica or yellow bell. It is apparently native to the north western United States and western Canada.  


  • This afternoon I met a friend at a Cafe for lunch.  We discussed plans for some of the upcoming SCA events and specifically, Pennsic.  She will be doing much of the work this year getting ready for the two week long event instead of me.  
  • After our Pennsic planning lunch I got my passport photo taken and then we went for a walk up to the fire tower.




  • In the evening I made it back out of the house to Craft Night.  It was nice to visit with friends.  A weird thing I learned is that the fabric on a pool table is called baize.  I got some crocheting done too.  I've been making a container to hold a water bottle.  I need to find a water bottle because I think I am close to finishing this project. 

  • Earlier today I washed my bed sheets.  Nanni, our brown tabby, was on my bed when I went to remake my bed tonight.  I mostly successfully made my bed with Nanni on it.  I say mostly because it isn't quite as tight as I like it.  I just moved Nanni around as I put the sheets and blankets back on.

Wow, Long and PICTURES

What a wonderful day!  Here are some happy highlights and a bunch of pictures. My friend Stephanie (I got her permission to use her name) and I started out later than planned but Magalloway Mountain wasn't too long of a drive from where we camped.  After driving over miles of dirt roads we ended up at the trailhead.  We chose to go up the Bobcat Trail and down the Coot Trail.  The Bobcat Trail is a narrow trail that doubled as a small brook in places. 😉  When we got to the top of the mountain there was a trail to an overlook and we went there first.  The overlook was over a cliff, but it was beautiful and we could see so far.  The tower view was also spectacular and gave us a 360 degree view.  I don't know where the borders are, but from where we stood in New Hampshire we could see Canada and Maine, probably Vermont, too. The Coot Trail was wider and probably could be used by vehicles that can handle steep hills with rocks and gravel when maintai...

Otter's Welcome

Some happy things from today: There is a picture I have from a few years ago of my adult children with lilacs in their hair.  This included Bel's generous beard.  Keziah picked some this morning so we could have some in our hair at an SCA event in Massachusetts, Otter's Welcome.  This is an event that is aimed with newcomers in mind.  There is a little bit of most categories to do or observe.  Keziah ran children's point.  I visited with a few people.   Keziah In the middle of the day I started falling asleep.  I ended up napping in the car for a little while.  There was a class I wanted to take, but it was when I was resting. This is also when the weather decided to rain.  That break was needed and I think I enjoyed the rest of the day more because of it. Some of the lilacs that Keziah picked, made it into my hair.  There were many compliments.  Me, photo credit to Keziah. The part of Massachusetts the event is in is the ...

Happy Friday

There is one more night for me to work this week.  I have Sunday off and I'm back to work Monday thru Thursday.  My happy things for today: A little while after I got home from work, I remembered that I needed to do laundry.   Yay clean clothes to wear to work tonight! There was lost & found at the event last weekend.  I brought it to the studio this afternoon so that it can be returned to its owner.  I also got to see a few friends.   I also stopped by Keziah’s store and was able to see the family and some friends.  I don't usually spend so much time out and about on working days.  I'm glad I got to see people.  I'm especially glad that I was able to sit down with the family and get closer to firming out plans for this weekend and vacation.  Bel & Keziah ☮ Currently listening to: Dune Messiah , by Frank Herbert.
