Song sung blue, everybody knows one. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again.

Song is a wonderful healer.  And I thing that everyone is born with the ability to sing.  But sometimes it happens, that someone tells us we aren’t any good, or that we should just stand in the back… or…. mouth the words.  And so some of us stop singing.  I have heard this story from so many people, and talk about making me feel blue.  Because I can relate.   And, I didn’t sing for  a long time.  But then I got old enough not to care what other people say… or think.  And I started singing, and making music, and dancing.

So take that, you poopy pants dream squashers! I proved you wrong.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Woke up to more frost outside… brr at 32.  I got to spend some time sitting in bed knitting with my coffee and podcast, while I waited for the house to heat up.

Early morning eye doctor appointment and my eyes are still crummy.  But, I get to order some new glasses… and I love new glasses!  Also, some special computer glasses!! YAY!

Other than that, pretty quiet, dancing, knitting, cooking, eating, napping, and hanging out with the dogs. 

This is sweater #3 for the year… I plan on doing 12.  It’s my own little 12 sweaters in 2021 knitting challenge!!

There are details on that page, and a coupon for the yarn!

I am hoping for some warmer days to come down the pipeline… get back to some gardening, and bare legs .

But in the meantime, I will be inside, knitting away at my sweater!

As part of the challenge, I will be posting my daily outfits on blog posts as well as social media with the hashtag #tracywearswool — please follow along — and see all the creative outfits that I can come up with!

Every silver lining’s got a touch of gray. 

But, really, that is what keeps it real. It’s not all black and white these days… but more mixed up … much more grayscale. Dare I say… shades of gray?  Ok… maybe mixing it up a little too much.  The important thing is that… we will get by.  We will survive.

What’s in store today:

Torrential rain through last night, and hail on the road trip to Portland.  But it wasn’t too bad once I got here… chilly, and I had to go get out my wool socks, and throw on an extra sweater until the house heated up.

They guys were here working on the garden conversion — out with lawn, in with planter boxes and walkways.  Super excited about this project. Can’t wait to plant the giant sunflowers and dahlias and nasturtiums in the planter box along the fence, and veggies and herbs in the rest!

I had bare legs for a few days, but it is back to leggings and UGGS. I just opened up a new pair of leggings. Soft and buttery, and at $13, I’ll be ordering more!

What a wonderful world full of possibilities out there. 

Sure, it’s not perfect, by any means, but it is still pretty wonderful… and awesome… at our choices everyday.

Because everyday, we can decide how we want the day to go for us — or at least how we will react to it.  Will we be happy about the 3 things that went right, or angry about the 12 things that went wrong. Will we choose to sing, or dance, or choose not to.  Will we share, or will we keep everything for, or to ourselves.

Pretty wonderful that we get to decide these things, and decide to make the world more wonderful.

What’s in store today:

Lots of rain… which is great, because we don’t have to water all the sunflower seeds that I planted this last week… or the primroses, or the clematis!!  I have Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging video and blog to do. then maybe some knitting… and I think I’ll make some instant pot buttered cabbage for dinner!

So I just popped an old-school puffy vest from LL Bean into the mix.  I am not sure how old it is, but should outlive me.

I have donated most of mine… but this one, I just had to keep.

Nothing but blue skies, do I see.

I know we are in the midst of an awful pandemic.  And that a lot of folks are suffering in a lot of different way. It hasn’t been easy on anyone, that is for sure. But I believe in hope for a better tomorrow. And there has a great deal of good to come out of these trying times I see blue skies in our futures. Hopefully, nothing but blue skies!

What’s in store today:

With blue skies like we are having today, it is hard not to catch a bit of the spring fever.  It is still cold, but the sun is shining, and it feels much warmer.  Time to get some stuff down outside…Plant some more, because you know the saying…. you sow what you reap.  Then knitting, and dancing… and a campfire!

The sun warmed the world — and it got up to 55, for which I was eternally grateful.  I setted for the current outfit: leggings under Woolamina, Fleece over the top. 

Super comfortable, and easy to peel layers.
