Magnetism

Here are some happy things from PA:

  • This morning I attempted to organize the tent more.  I made some progress.  One of the things I was looking for a better place to put was a light that Keziah has.  It was on a bin and I was hoping I could put it up somewhere.  Then I noticed that it has magnets on its feet.  I looked around the canvas tent until I noticed the center pole.  Pop!  The lamp attached to the pole.  Then I found the flashlights I picked up from work.  They are also attached to the pole.  I love magnets.


  • It was a hot day.  We still did a bunch between shade breaks.  With a little help, my friend put more coats of poly onto all the shower walls and floors.  Some friends dug the sump hole for under the shower. With a bunch of help the shower walls were put together.   We are having plumbing problems again, but that is a problem for tomorrow.  Tonight, I rinsed off using the hose.  I feel better than I did.



  • I am very thankful that some of the food places are open.  After working to get so many things done, it was nice to get food without trying to make something.
  • Keziah showed off her balancing powers with a half empty cup of lemonade.  It was pretty impressive.  Someone walking by stopped, pretended to use a pool cue and said, "White ball in the corner pocket."  

Sunset.

Happy 2024-Ice

Happy New Year!  Welcome to my happy blog.  Here I try to find things from my day that brought a glimmer of joy to me.  I hope by sharing these things, that others may find some happiness as well. Here are today's happy things: Staying up with Gideon and Zed to bring in the new year. Keziah is out of isolation from having covid.  It was so good to see her again this morning! While out on a walk a car drove by with the convertible top down.  It was 33 degrees and ice was formed on puddles.  I think the people must have been happy, enjoying the fresh air and breeze.  It makes me happy to think they were having fun. My walk was almost three and a half mile's long today.  It seems like it has been quite a while since I walked that distance for me and not work.  I'm hoping this first walk of the year will inspire me to get out there again and explore.  I saw bluebirds, ducks, squirrels, and maybe juncos?  I couldn’t get close enough to make a positive identification.  There was

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 maintaining the buildings on the top.

 A few happy things from today: There is an active member of our Barony that has been asking for whipcord braiding.  I decided to do a quick research of this online and learned that I have actually done this before, once.  This morning Keziah and I went to the studio for supplies to bring to the NH Renaissance Faire.  I got wool, and she got calligraphy supplies.  The sycamore tree by the studio is partially barked currently. At the Faire, I tried to do the whipcord braiding, first with Gideon, then by myself.  We had mixed results.  I learned a few things and hope for better at home, and not at a distracting Faire.  One of the things I learned is that it is more fun with a second person.   Here is a link to a short YouTube video  demonstrating whipcord braiding.  There were many people who came through the SCA tent today.  Many of those people showed interest in participating in this crazy medieval thing I do.  I hope to see some of them at future events. One of the people I knew from
