My sister suffered throughout her life. Kind, funny, a reader, talented artist who truly saw animals. The past 4 years dialysis 3 times a week, in pain, at last spending all day snuggled in bed with her beloved Whippets. Last week she chose to enter hospice. Not much time left to say farewell.

Feeling sentimental and remembering Millie. My Japanese Chin rescued from hoarder/puppy mill at 13. She learned how to be a dog, barked after 2 years, lived to 17, so many health problems she was by far the most expensive dog I ever owned.

Frustrated bird watcher here. Despite my expensive new glasses, I do not see well enough to identify the many birds visiting the trees and sky outside my window. Are there binoculars for a nearsighted astigmatic? Please advise.

This is 100% merino yarn from a Virginia farm. Stitch definition also depends on how it is spun.

I was worried about my SNAP benefit but they have been raised by a whole dollar from $23 to $24 due to increasing expenses. Not sure how I will spend my new riches.

A friend made this drawing of her. It was triple her actual size. When I got her, she had been recovering for 2 months and was still a mess. Completely shut down. We expected her to live a few months. Died at 17 after becoming a happy dog.

#ShowMeYourKnits Blue Week. Considering how much blue is in my wardrobe, I don’t have many blue knits. This is my first successful lace ca. 2000. Pictures after washing and re-blocking.
