Sunday Adventure

SnoopheliaLeave a comment
Find the dog! There is shadow melt and there is forest melt😁

Every Saturday evening I tell Ami that we not gonna get up with the sun in the morning, that we just gonna sleep in and then have an opulent breakfast with all sorts of yummi stuff. Every time Ami rolls her eyes at me, telling me “ya sure and then we’ll win the lottery”. Comes the morning we wake up, look at each other and roll outta bed to get going. She enjoys our Sunday morning adventures so much that I just can’t stay in bed. When she is happy, that makes me happy. During the summer months it’s especially fun. Also, after all this weeks of rain our “dog park” is just one single giant patch of mud. The earth is soaked in precious water. That is why we go to the area beside the school with that really beautiful natural meadow. Today we actually lost her beloved ball in that meadow. The wild flowers and herbs are so high there that it is impossible to find small items ones they dropped. Ami actually enjoys it more to carry the ball around instead of playing fetch. Every time she gets distracted by something she just drops it where she stands and when that is really high grass the ball is lost. Well yes, she can find it again, but this morning, after an hour telling her to find the ball, I really needed a coffee (didn’t had any before we went out). 🐶

After two years I finally figured out how to get emots in here. On my cellphone that would have been easy but not so much on my desktop pc. In the past there was a button in the WP toolbar but it seems they “upgraded” it away. But oh well, I got it sorted after all. 😎

Where ever you are, have a wonderful week ahead, stay safe, cool and happy. 🍰

Damn, Friday already! How on earth did that happen so fast? Where did the week go. When I was a kid, a week took an eternity to pass, nowadays it just zooms by. Anyways, what are your plans for the weekend? Anything fun? Adventures? Just chillin? Well since we’ll have rain every day this weekend we’ll just chill, knit, munch a lot of treatos and other yummi stuff and have a good time in general.

Rain for Houston

Snoophelia2 Comments
Sending rain to Houston on special request. ❤ This is the kind of “dancing in the rain” rain. It’s warm, gentle and not destructive. Here in our area we call it “Sanfter Oldenburger Landregen” (Oldenburg’s gentle country rain). Have a pawtastic day everybody and stay cool and safe.

One More Time

Snoophelia5 Comments

Now I’m knitting this sock for the 2nd time. It was almost done, just 30 more rows and then I noticed the mistake I made 50 rows ago. So what to do? Ignoring it? I mean nobody else would notice it, these sox are for myself and they will be covered by my boots anyway. But there is this tiny voice repeating what my parents use to tell me when I was a little kid “When you do something, do it right! All your work must be perfect. Always finish what you started.”. Typical german values and in general there is nothing wrong about it, just sometimes they seem a bit counterproductive. I really could have just ignored that mistake and finish it, but instead I unraveled it and started fresh from the start. Yes, I could have knit it back to the mistake but that just doesn’t feel right.

Our weather today is just right for knitting. It’s raining again, the sky grey and the temps are sitting at just 17°C. I actually closed the window and lit some candles for some coziness. Ami refuses to go out (she hates wet paws and when the rain messes up her hairdo) and so I have time to knit and binge “Lie to me” on Disney+. Life is good, even when it’s raining. Have a pawesome day ya’ll and stay safe.

What we’ve been up to

SnoopheliaLeave a comment

I haven’t posted since May but we didn’t go anywhere. So let’s catch up a little bit. What you see here is our weather since the beginning of July. Rain, every day, the entire month and August keeps it going. Don’t get me wrong now. I’m not complaining. I’m actually glad about the rain since Mother Nature really needs it. And we are blessed to live in an area where the weather is not threatening. From the news I’ve learned that Arizona, Phoenix and Texas are melting, China is drowning and Canada is burning, along with parts of south Europe. I’m so sorry for all the people who are suffering from the weather, especially when they lose their homes to fire or water. Meanwhile I was hoping that Russia would crumble to dust or so, but that ain’t gonna happen so fast, does it? So no, I’m not complaining about our rain. And hey, it’s summer rain. Warm, pleasant temps and all the plants are exploding with life. And don’t even get me started about all the energy I’m saving because I do not need the AC.

My closest friend started to work for a local hospice. It’s owned by the church but runs on donations only. So every December they do a charity sale. People can donate crafted items for that sale and so I got busy. Made 3 small baskets, a set of coasters and one of these cute Tempo Pouches. Will do more pouches, some key chains and socks too. I will update the crafting pages with finished items as I go. I truly love crafting but doing it for a good cause is even more fun.

So what else is going on? Finally got a new desk chair. The old one was falling apart and after being stubborn for almost a year (what? I can still sit on it, right?) I gave in and got this new one. No fancy gaming chair this time, I wanted something really comfy and good for my back. And it worked, my back is much better. The blog is going into it’s 3rd year now and I’m not gonna stop anytime soon. It’s way to much fun.
