A Day with the Kitties

While my favorite person was visiting last month we stopped by our local no-kill cat shelter to make a donation and visit with the kitties.

Happily there aren't as many cats at the shelter as in years past; I'll guess they've had many adoptions since the beginning of the pandemic. One beat-up little gray cat fell in love with my girl.

I was also very happy to see several people come in while we were visiting with donations of food and supplies for the shelter. I asked the lady running the place if she could use some quilts, and she was very happy about the chance to get some fresh bedding for the kitties, so now I have to get together some quilts to donate.

I spent a happy half-hour petting this little guy, who fell in love with me. Although we are maxed out on pets I'll go back soon to visit him again.

At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists.

I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Of Kork

On the second day of March I overslept. I spent ten hours sleeping, which is very unusual for me. This is because I've suffered from insomnia most of my life, but since making significant changes (like acquiring my current day job, which allowed me to escape all the toxic people I had to deal with in my old job) I sleep much better. These days I usual manage six or seven hours sleep, and if I'm very lucky eight. But ten? I sleep that much only a couple times a year, and generally only when I'm sick. Dreams might be to blame. I remember the night was filled with them, all lovely. I traveled across Europe, I walked the streets of old cities and met lots of interesting people. In one city I stopped by an engagement party where a very attractive couple were exchanging signed contracts. The groom showed me his, and I read these words: "Course shall become Kork." I understood then that they meant to be together forever, and that it was a reincarnation co...
