WEEKENDING

I found it is the small everyday

deeds of ordinary folk that keeps

the darkness at bay, small acts of

Kindness and Love.

-Gandalf

The heat and humidity returned
this weekend making me want
to hide inside for a good part of
the day. The little cold snap we
experienced last week makes me
long for cold days...soon please.

I finally took the plunge and signed
up for Instagram. It's wonderful
to see so many friends already there,
I am traceyclover if you want to
say Hi.  I have no idea what I am
doing,  #, @ ?, but I am trying.
One thing I find very troubling
is taking photos with this little
phone, I definitely like my camera
better, but I will keep practicing.
The pizza photo is not only my dinner
from Friday night, it is my first
Instagram post.

Saturday's seem to be my hat knitting
day ;)  I knit a little hat for Porter; I
added a pompom because wee hats
need pompoms and I wanted something
to go along with the cardigan I made.
For the cardigan I finally found buttons
in my ancient button jar and then I
added two wee pockets to the front
of the cardigan just because. I really
am pleased with how it all turned out.

Just when I was feeling down and a little
sorry for myself I received a phone call
from a long distant friend, we talked for
almost an hour and when I hung up I
felt so much better. It's those small acts
of ordinary kindness, like a phone call,
that you may not think anything about,
that can make a huge difference to
someone else. Thank you my friend.
