I'm joining Kat & the Unravelers today for Unraveled Wednesday!
It's been pretty busy around here! Rusty & I moved a bunch of hostas on Saturday that would most certainly be toast when the road crew starts digging (whenever that is). Sunday was all about collecting Kate at O'Hare. We went out to Ali's on Monday night for supper & to surprise the kids! I'm heading to Madison with Ali & Davy after work today… Davy's having a little surgery tomorrow to repair a hernia that he's had since birth. Ali still doesn't know what time surgery is on Thursday (hoping for early), but we'll be there whenever. Kate & I have a date on Saturday to collect starter plants from my CSA farm and make some other yard-/garden-related stops. I've been spending an hour or so at Ann's whenever possible trying to get laundry done… and I'll have to make beds & clean Friday/Saturday for guests arriving on Sunday. I was there last night and then got waylaid by a neighbor on the way home… I'd messaged Kate that I was on my way and a half-hour later she messaged me, "Are you lost?" haha. It was nice to catch up with our neighbor and I got a handful of lovely leeks to take home — she dug them up on the spot!
KNITTING:
I don't like leaving Ann's when the dryer is running and the blanket is too much to haul around, so I've been working on my One-Way Trip Musselburgh hat.
The paper is 11×17 and I'm aiming for 19.25" to start decreases, so just a few inches to go yet! I imagine I'll have some knitting time tonight/tomorrow, and it'll help me keep calm… which will hopefully rub off on Al!
Send us all some good juju, especially for Davy & his mom!!
READING:
I'm listening to Trespasses. I've cracked open Why We Cook: Women on Food, Identity, and Connection, by Lindsay Gardner, which was a gift I received for last year's Jólabókaflóð; I haven't made much progress yet but I think it's going to be great!

It always surprises me to hear of how many young kids have hernias (or are born with them) – my oldest brother had one at 3 years old! Sending all the healing juju for Davy and calm wishes to you and Ali.
You have been busy, with lots of things! I’m also sending lots of calm and healing juju to Davy, Ali, and anyone else who could use it! Keep knitting on that great hat and keep breathing.
I am sending good thoughts for wee Davey! I hope all goes well! And welcome home Kate!
I hope Davey is in and out quickly today, it’s hard for parents (and grandparents!) to go through those medical situations. Your hat is looking great! And have fun plant shopping!
Sending good thoughts for an easy and uneventful surgery for Davy!
Hope all went well today … best wishes for everything uneventful!
Sending all my love and best juju for quick healing for Davy — and for Ali, too. It sounds like . . . full days, Vicki. Wonderful, full days. XOXO
I hope all went well for the surgery. You are one busy woman. Take good care.
