The reason I don't use chemicals in my yard. I dug a shallow swale to deal with runoff, and the mallards love it when it stays flooded. #photography #birds

#ShowMeYourKnits These are the only things I've done that fit the category this week. They are the Sleekit Mitts, but I couldn't make gauge and had to modify them. #knitsky 🧶

Pincushion Flower. This picture was taken in March 2020, and the plant gave me flowers in all but the very coldest part of the year. Sadly, it gave way to old age. #photography #flower

Three mallards in a stormwater quality basin. We have these scattered throughout the city to control storm run off and filter it through the ground instead of letting it run directly into the Chesapeake Bay. They're usually good for sighting some birds. #photography #birds

H.R. Haldeman: 18 months.
John Ehrlichman: 18 months.
John Dean: 4 months.
G. Gordon Liddy: over 4 years.

#ShowMeYourKnits WIP - the beginnings of a Loopy Lopi Sweater in Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool. I haven't gotten very much done because I'm up at my Mom's. #knitsky 🧶

Pilings and Reflections. Pelicans and cormorants on the old pilings. #photography #birds
The pilings left behind when an old pier came down. The water is still, so there is a clear reflection of everything. There are pelicans and cormorants perched on the pilings.

Still #WIPWednesday. I'm casting on the swatch now. It is Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool and it is destined to become the Loopy Lopi Sweater. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... I'm only doing the colorwork around the yoke, because I can't handle the small circumference work around the sleeve. #knitsky 🧶
Three skeins of cream colored yarn and one skein of brown yarn displayed on an open laptop. The three cream skeins look to be different shades but are really the same shade and dyelot.

Turtles in the shade at Crystal Lake. I always love the reflections at Crystal Lake. #photography #turtle
Two turtles in silhouette on a half submerged tree trunk. They are reflected in the still surface of the water, as is the tree trunk and branches. The elements of the photo all appear to have been drawn with black ink on a watercolor of blue sky and clouds.

It's been over a month since my second eye was done, and I am loving the results. No more flood lights to see my knitting, and I can read the fine print on ingredients lists. If your eye doctor says you need this, my recommendation is to go for it without delay. Irritation only lasted a day.

I had a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsulo... of the left eye this morning - the results are great! Eye is irritated still, but definitely worth it for the brighter, clearer, world. Can't wait for 11/25 and my right eye! Now to check out the new knitting conditions and how well I can see the 🧶. #knitsky
