40 years ago tomorrow, @ajmoore.bsky.social and I took a leap into the future. I never imagined what a grand adventure it would turn out to be. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has never been dull. Can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds. 😘
A photograph of a couple during their first dance at their wedding. They are outside, and it is very sunny. The bride is wearing a simple white gown and a wreath of flowers. The groom is wearing a white tuxedo shirt (with grey stripes - he insisted), cummerbund, and grey trousers. The couple are caught in the midst of a kiss and are holding hands. In the background is a band with a singer wearing a purple Hawaiian print shirt and white pants performing in a swing set, converted to a bandstand by the bride’s father.

It’s porch time here in Georgia. Keeping calm as I listen to my fountain burble cheerfully. I hope you find your moment of peace today as you gather your strength to resist.

You can’t see me. I am perfectly camouflaged.
A black and brindle dog lays in the sun amidst a field of dead leaves. Her back is covered in leaves and she is looking away from the camera.

Delilah contemplates the state of the world. Pibbles are the best. 🥰
A black and brindle dog looks contemplative as she rests on the couch on the porch on a sunny afternoon. Her eyes are open as she stares ahead. And her ears are pricked, but her white socked paws relaxingly dangle over the edge of the couch.

Creativity and love to keep my energy up. When friends are going through difficult times, it can be hard to know what’s the right thing to do. Sometimes that is helping them fulfill a promise. I hope you all find a moment of joy today.
A table in a pottery studio covered with a variety of hand thrown vessels glazed in brown and blue. On the left are 4 shallow bowls, then 4 covered jars, then 6 cruet jars with hand-built textured stoppers. Finally, on the right are 7 chalices. These pieces are a communion set that is designed to be humble to be used during Lent. This was a joint project for me and my pottery bestie. Thrown and gifted in honor of my friend’s mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. I’m not religious, I don’t understand what these represent, but I know the importance of standing with people we love during difficult times.

Delilah in her happy place. I now know she is apricating.
A black and brindled dog with pricked ears and a graying muzzle lays happily in a field of fallen leaves, staring into the camera. The bright sun illuminates her shiny fur while shadows from the trees shade the rest of the garden.

America is a very scary place right now. But my daughter just sent me a photo of her kitten. So there’s that. Find peace and joy where you can.

A screenshot of a poem: May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, worms and spiderings. Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards sun… And when they’re grown, and someone has to speak for those who have no voice May they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the ones.

I’m finishing up a Licorice Twist vest for my daughter. She wanted a vest in a jeweled tone purple and I found just the right yarn at my LYS.
A close up photo of a purple knitting project still on the needles. There is a narrow lace cable pattern between stockinette stitch and a ridge stitch pattern that alternates knit and purl rows to give a purl bump every 4 rows.

I have been knitting since I was 7 yo and today I steeled my first sweater. Terrifying! 😳 Thanks @boylandknitworks.bsky.social for the super helpful video and Delilah for moral support. #nordicbloom #newskills #neverstoplearning 🧶

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?
A close up photo of a black dog with a graying muzzle peeking out from a white blanket. Only one eye is visible. The eye is looking up and the dog looks nervous. By the way, did you know the ability to show the whites of their eyes is associated with domestication in dogs? Likely to increase communication and empathy in humans. The things you learn!

Taught a knitting class at my LYS on thrums. Sample and demo will keep some toes toasty this winter ❄️. #knityourlist 🧶
Close up view of the cuff of a handknit slipper. The slipper is knit with pine green chunky wool. The photo shows white wool thrums lining the inside of the cuff (a thrum is a strand of unspun wool that is worked into the fabric of a knitted garment to provide cushioning and warmth.) A photo of two pairs of handknit slippers. The pair on the left is knit in gray chunky wool with green thrums around the cuff. The slippers on the right are knit with pine green chunky wool with white thrums around the cuff.

Not crazy about tooting my own horn, but am proud of this. Southeast Regional 2024 Excellence in College and University Teaching Award. #inclusiveteaching is a winner!
A graphic with a black and white photo of a woman with short hair wearing glasses and smiling. There is a panel to the right of the photo that says USDA 2024 awards. There is a second panel in the lower right corner that says regional teaching award Dr. Patricia J Moore Entomology University of Georgia #APLU2024

Delilah says hi! And seconds punching Nazis.

Just thinking, for no particular reason, about knitting a new pair of these mittens. Pattern is Peace de Resistance by Bristol Ivy. First knit in 2017.
The front and back of a pair of hand knit mittens in dark and acid green. Palm side says ‘resistance is not futile’. The T in resistance is the symbol for women. The back side has a raised fist.

My mom knit me this blanket when I left home for college. We had a difficult relationship at the time and it took my a long time to recognize what she was saying with the gift. 40+ years later, it’s worn and full of holes. Maybe, I thought, it’s time to give it to the dog.
Orange and white knitted blanket with a hole in it. Orange and white knitted blanket with two areas repaired with darning. One is blue, one is acid green. Close up of blue darning repair on orange and white knitted blanket. Close up of the face of a black dog with pointy ears lying on an orange and white knitted blanket.
