I'm a disabled former secondary teacher of English, Spanish, and ESL. Now, I'm a homesteader who gardens, raises ducks and geese, and still knits and spins yarn. #ChronicPain #DemocraticSocialist she/her
I'm resting after spreading a bunch of wood chips where we needed a better pathway. I've got sourdough that's refusing to really rise much, probably because it's a little too cold in here, and dinner to get started. It's not going to be fancy, but hopefully it'll taste good.

I'm rather proud of my disabled self today. I managed a shower, a trip to the grocery store for a few things (the prices are insane!), and I made dinner (though my husband helped a bit). Just waiting for it now...
I hurt so bad, but it was worth it all just to feel a bit normal for once. #Disabled

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.
It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Long weekend, and I didn't get half my to do list done. Today has been an awful pain day, and I only got the new sourdough starter fed and a loaf baked. I mixed up the sourdough pancake batter, but my husband made dinner.
I overdid it in the garden yesterday and still have so much to do there. 🌱

I haven't felt like coming up with my own design in ages until I saw this Cautiva yarn from Spain in the yarn shop by my daughter's home. Hopefully, these mitts will turn out okay. #knitting
Thankfully, I have a copy of Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns. It's the best! Worth every penny.

Can't sleep from pain, but we've so very badly needed this rain.
The flock is up and upset this morning. Well, Squeaker is upset. The rest have calmed down a bit after all getting through the fence and heading out to forage, leaving Squeaker behind.
Poor Squeaker. I can't get to her yet.

Trump appointed judges ruled that this is not somehow a first amendment violation.
