New arrivals...
After being stuck indoors all day yesterday, I had to get outside and breathe in some fresh air...I can tell that I'm already acclimated to the heat, cause it felt 'good' to be on the porch, with the wind blowing, and the temp was only 92...ha...anyway, while I'm out there, I see the female cardinal coming and going from the nest in the arch, and realize - she's got a new baby in there...its quiet while she's gone, but when she returns, it opens up and squeaks...I think its just one bird, but I can't see in there, so I don't really know...still, I'm glad she is back in the nest, that she's got another baby and nature is back in action...for all I know, her first baby grew up and flew off...apparently they hatch and fly a lot faster than I realized...I suppose this new one may be flying by the end of next week...just in time for me to leave again and miss the whole thing...crap...
I did make a ton of beads yesterday, all the same style...pretty easy stuff...I like doing the monotonous stuff when i don't have any ideas in my dusty little brain...they are sitting here next to me, all 70+ of them...sure, that sounds dramatic, but still they are all the same little animal, so they were easy to make...and thankfully the backup generator actually worked pretty well all day...it seemed to be very hot, so I ran a fan on it to keep it cool...I think i'm just gonna try to find a local repair dude to take care of the main generator cause I don't have time to deal with it...geez...
So, I think if you're a knitter, you should try to find a local Knit In Public location on June 14, and have fun...I've found 3 nearby get togethers here in Austin, and you know I'll never go...I hate crowds...I hate chit chat...I never know what to say...I'm socially awkward and just want to hide in the corner...if its a group over 6 people, I'm out...so, you know what I have planned? I'll knit 'in public' on my front porch that day...yes indeedy do...there's plenty of ice cold water, funky music and shade on my porch..yesterday a fresh and bright monarch was flitting around the garden - that's plenty of entertainment for me...and I'll be in public, right? people who drive by will see me...that works...yeehaw...
