2024 Happy Blog Challenge Continues

Thursday's happy things: Since money, or lack thereof, has been on my mind lately, I am making an effort to work all the hours I'm scheduled and not leave early from work. I'm also hoping to occasionally pick up another shift.  I feel like I should add that I'm doing okay with my day to day finances, but if I'm going to take time off from work next year for other things, I need to save more now.  And thus ends my completed work week.  I have plans this weekend, so I doubt I'll get to do any extra work.   There was a yellow jacket busily pollinating the flowers on the snowberry plant.   The yellow jacket is on the snowberry.   plant. The purple flowers above it are a nightshade. This weekend I will be at an SCA event and I want to bring all the hand sewing I have to do.  Somehow, I don't have a bag or basket big enough to hold the sewing that isn't really modern looking.  So I went to DIY Craft & Thrift and got myself a used bag....

The flower of the Snowberry-should pull. Rosebuds.  Roses.  The roses stay.  I'm loving the scent of roses when I walk by . It is Thursday, the last day of my work week, so I had a short nap.  A little while after my nap, Gideon and I went to DIY Craft & Thrift to help out.  I measured and folded a bunch of fabric.  I forgot to take pictures.  Tomorrow the store reopens at noon.  They will be open until eight tomorrow night because it is First Friday in Concord.  I'm hoping for some pictures before the store opens. Since Gideon has school tomorrow I didn't stay as late at the store ...
