2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

 Happy things from today: At work I told a coworker a little about the SCA.  This is something that I don't tend to talk about at work.  I already feel different, even though I know I'm not.  Anyhow, he didn't seem to think it was weird.   Yesterday I noticed some berries by the driveway where I park my car.  They are some kind of bramble/raspberry.   My big accomplishment for today was to delete pictures from Google to free up space for more.  Between yesterday and today I backed up around 1000 photos that are now on my external hard drive.  ☮ Currently listening to: Dune Messiah , by Frank Herbert. Continued reading:  My Wandering Uterus-tales of traveling while female , edited by K.A. Laity.  This book is an anthology. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Two happy things from yesterday that I forgot: I finished listening to The Book of Margery Kempe.   It gave me some insight on life as a woman in the middle ages, though not as much as I'd hoped.   It did mention that she visited Julian of Norwich, and so I am revisiting Julian with the book I started listening to today. With some of the raspberries we picked yesterday Keziah made a sekanjabin.  She also made a lemon-mint sekanjabin.  Here is a random site with a recipe for reference purposes.  I don't know what Keziah used for a recipe, and the link I posted is a different flavor.  Today my happy things include: While out and about this morning Keziah noticed a cloud that looks like it has a hole in it.  I got a picture, but there are lots of wires in it. Keziah and I got the tent out of the storage unit.  That puts us one step closer to being prepared for camping this weekend.   Some packing for the weekend and the errands I...

Downsizing isn't happening like I would like it to.  I did get some things organized today though, and a shirt that I wore today will be going into the donation pile after it is washed.   Here are some happy things from today: This morning Keziah, Gideon, and I went berry picking at Turkey Hill Farm .  We picked raspberries, golden raspberries, and blueberries.  They are delicious.  The raspberry picking was great.  Blueberry picking was good, but it will be better over this week. This afternoon I went to archery practice.  I didn't shoot as well as I have been, but it wasn't horrible.  I left my bow strung and I'm going to try to exercise with it this week.  I also got a  lot of Pennsic planning done with the person who will be taking over the land planning for me this year.  I'm so thankful to have some wonderful helpers. My only gold shot of the day. When I got home Keziah and Zed were watching Kiki's Delivery Service ....
