Deep Breaths and Noticing the Little Things

 
















June has been full of highs and lows. I'm trying my best to take deep breaths and enjoy the little things.

New flower blooms, bees making honey, baby chicks (oh so cute), watching a broody mom take care of the cute baby chicks, cuddling with my dog, knitting outside, catching up with my favorite podcasts and patreon videos, connecting with my favorite people.

Summer is here































 Last Monday I was wearing a heavy sweater. Today, I'm sweating. Ah, NJ....you are an interesting place to live! Summer is here. Hot, humid and all the things. Sharing some photos I took over the weekend.

Some much needed beach time to finish my book (5 stars!!!!!!!), Cookbook Club "The Lost Kitchen, Erin French" themed (yummmmmm) and I added three baby chicks to my flock! SO CUTE!

Cheers to summer, friends. Trying not to melt.......

Summer colors










It hasn't felt like summer here, but the flowers are happy with the rain and showing off all their colors. I've brought some of the happiness in from the outside and I'm loving the flowers and fresh herbs.

I started a Lollygag cowl to wear to Rhinebeck. I'm enjoying the project but I don't love the yarn. It looks pretty but it's inexpensive acrylic and it's not my favorite by far!!! I want to knit another in better yarn once this one is done.

Rick and I went to Hoffman's before the summer crowds took over and I had Blueberry Pie flavor (my favorite summer flavor they make). Delicious! I highly recommend it!

Life has been weird lately and I think all of the highs and lows of the past 6 weeks has caught up to me. I had a rough day yesterday and just didn't feel myself. It's rare I have "off" days so it throws me for a loop! I didn't feel like knitting last night which completely confuses my family! Just need a reset day or days and I'll feel myself again. I'm looking forward to the weekend (it's supposed to be nice weather!!!!) I have some fun plans set up and that should help :)

Hope you're all doing well and enjoying finding the little joys to get you through the days.
