The crows are leaving their old feathers as they prepare for the coming darkness. I live amongst a local murder and am blessed by their example of community, innovative adaptability, humor, curiosity, and glossy beauty.
A crow’s feather, found on the sidewalk, photographed in a foreshortened angle from tip to shaft. The feather is so deeply black that it has a blue cast, and is highly contrasted against the pale grey of the sidewalk.

This is a reminder to find simple joys to replenish yourself. Happy Juneteenth. May we stand for justice, make reparations, and remember where we’ve been in order to create something better.

Hosta Noir
A close up, top down, black and white photograph of a Hosta plant. The contrast of the black and white image emphasizes the texture and form of each leaf. The leaves each have a white stripe on their outer edge.

Image of the author, Colleen, seated on the floor with her back against a lounge chair seat. Colleen is wearing a navy blue sweatshirt and her greying blonde hair is in a ponytail. Behind her is her American Shorthair tabby cat, Billie. Billie is asking for attention by affectionately nudging, with her nose, Colleen’s shoulder. A basket of assorted yarns r Sits atop a wooden coffee table. There are multiple colors of yarn in the basket-in a spring palette of pale pink, pale periwinkle, white, smoky sage green and bright honey mustard yellow. In the background a big bouquet of deep red double blooming peonies sits in a vase.

I finally got this knitting project off the needles - it’s a reversible cowl made as one big tube w/ pearl rows for where the fabric folds to the other side - I wanted a clean edge with no ribbing. I used a kitchner stitch to join the two open ends together. I’m happy with how this came out!

The cowl is a deep marine blue-green on the solid side and the reverse is a one by one row stripe pattern in the same blue-green color and a bright curry yellow.

Dear Diary,
Vignettes from my weekend. After a nice walk, I made a delicious chicken, bean, green chile soup with lots of garlic. Finally folded my clothes. Sundays are for getting my shit together.

A photo of a cluster of white spring prunus blossoms, freshly open. A bulb of garlic resting on a wooden cutting board, it’s paper skin peeled open to reveal the heart of cloves A photo of a white gas kitchen stove in the background with a blue Dutch oven on the front burner. In the foreground is a butcher block cutting board with a basket of raw broccoli florets and a bunch of arugula greens. A soup and fresh veggies are being prepared.

W.I.P. I’m making a reversible cowl out of this incredibly soft, hand dyed merino. One side will be striped and the other will be a solid marine blue. Also: please appreciate my coordinating manicure 💛 #wip #knitting #manicure #yellow #nails

Happy Spring Equinox
Pink spring blossoms fallen from the tree, lay on the sidewalk. The low light of the evening sun illuminates the delicate petals A late afternoon spring sun sits just above the horizon; a soft golden orb, which casts its magical light onto the Puget Sound in the distance. In the foreground, all of the trees and plants glow with a golden light from the ravine that they are living in. A patch of nettles in the woods glows in the filtered evening sun.

An image of three starlings, perched on electric wires. A fourth starling is in flight, having just left its perch. The starlings and the wires appear black, silhouetted against a pale cloudy morning sky.

Out walking. Late winter is green in my region.

#newgrowth #daffodils #green #spring #latewinter #seaside #osoberry
A clump of daffodil stems up close-the stems are a brilliant ombré of green - chartreuse at the base, shifting to an emerald green at the tip. A clump of daffodils at the base of a concrete wall are ready to bloom. The vibrant new yellow buds are full of optimism and resilience against the grey/brown color of the cement wall backdrop. The late afternoon spring light touches the scene in a way that indicates that it is chilly now, but warmth is coming. A photo of a shipping dock, where cargo is unloaded and loaded for distribution. In this image the dock is empty of cargo and no ships are at the loading station. Two immense cranes, side by side, look out to sea from their port. The sky is blue with big billowy white clouds on the horizon. The cranes are green and white. A photo of a shrubby plant, Oso Berry, with new blooms. The leaves are a bright new green and point skyward, while the blooms are small, white, and hang downward in clusters from the base of the leaves.

Fractal beauty in the garden-Romanesco
#fractal #chartreuse #edibleflower #romanesco #gardening #plants #broccoli #cauliflower
A photo of a broccoflower, Romanesco, which is an edible flower head that is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. It is a vibrant chartreuse green color and is characterized by stacked whirled spires that form a dense head. This grows easily in my garden in the cool summers of the Pacific Northwest.

Don’t forget
If we can collectively decide that time is a construct, we can decide to change anything.

#springforward #timeisaconstruct #daylightsavings
A doodle in my daily planner on Saturday, March 8th of a clock vibrating and an arrow pointing forward to indicate “springing forward” for the time change that happens at midnight tonight. Underneath the arrow, it says “Everything is Made Up”

WIP - this is a fun chevron-esque fair isle pattern. It was my first time steeking (first photo shows the steek section). I’m making a neck cowl with a button placket. Lots of mistakes but I’m pretty in love with the color and pattern.

#knitting #WIP
A knitting work in progress. This is a carrot orange and cream fair isle offset chevron pattern with an orange and cream striped border. This image shows the area that will be steeked so that the fabric, knit in the round, can be opened up and laid flat. Eventually, a button placket will be added to tie open ends to make a neck cowl that buttons up. A knitting work in progress.

Saturday optimism infusion. It’s 54°F and the days are noticeably longer. This is a garden status update-close up edition.
A close up view of an outdoor succulent plant, newly growing featuring a very reflective dewdrop, perched in the center of a leaf cluster’s unfurling and perched between two leaves. The fleshy leaves are green and are cool toned and dusty in demeanor. The scene promotes a feeling of calm and balance in me This image is of a group of very red peony sprouts, amongst last year’s trimmed stems, poking through dark soil. The sprouts are plump and healthy and are conical in shape; the tips very pointy and crisp. New growth from a perennial daisy patch. The late afternoon winter light is providing a warm glow, which accentuates the fresh new green color of the leaves. March 1st is day one of planting season. This image is a top down shot of the corner of a wood framed garden bed. Just inside the bed, four seed packets are arranged alongside a gardening spade. We can see that what is being planted today are two types of carrots, walla walla onions, scallions and peas. The soil looks dark and rich.
