The last couple of weeks in Jordan have been unseasonably cold. We’ve even had snow to the north and south so… I’ve taught myself to knit! Practicing the stitches needed to create this particular pattern while devouring audiobooks one after another has been such a nice distraction.

I did this one a few weeks ago before I hit full winter hibernation. Thank goodness winter is shorter in Jordan.

The nativity scene at the Vatican this year is carved from olive wood and features the baby Jesus resting on a Palestinian keffiyeh. It was created by Palestinian artists. #FreePalestine #Christmas

The cool air, the satisfying pluck of each olive, the smell of bonfires, grass and red soil, the call to prayer echoing in the distance… This is happiness.

I’ve often found that ancient ruins and fossils go hand in hand. I have several good examples to share and I’ll start with the very first one I ever discovered. It is embedded in a large piece of cut rock in an excavation pile at Perge in Antalya Turkey

I thought the treasury would be the hard part of this piece. I’ve never been more wrong. I’ve only just now nearly completed one side of the rock face for the Sikh and that’s after completely erasing an entire days worth of work and starting again. F#%k!!!

So excited about #MosaicMonday as I’m fortunate enough to live near the city of Madaba, a Greco-Roman hub known specifically for its countless mosaics! I have much to share and I’ll start with this gem from the Byzantine church of the Virgin Mary.

We’ve driven down to Petra three times since we moved to Jordan, but this is the first time I’ve had the guts to attempt to capture it.

Random white woman attacks a Muslim couple at Panera downers grove, IL. Who is she? And why did Panera just sit around while she tried to scald this Muslim couple?

Social media is thick with complaints about how liberals just need to shut up and accept the results. One might think we were calling the election rigged or stolen or that we attacked the Capitol with weapons and a gallows while shouting about hanging the VP.
Such short memories they have.
