#tracywearswool day 73 out of 100, and YES… we have sunshine!!
It is always pretty much a cause for celebration when the sun comes out in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, we get great summer weather, but it is after the long dreary, rainy winter that the sun is such a welcome sight.
Of course, all the fabulous rain makes for a very green, lush landscape. And when the sun comes out…. we really get things growing.
I’ll post the sunflower status — I planted seeds a few weeks ago — not from seed packets, but from a 25 lb sack of Wagner’s black oil organic sunflower seed…. for birds! A Canadian told me she does it…. and they are coming in quite nicely. I will have enough to keep reseeding for the entire season, for both here and Portland.

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:
Today, I am back at the coast with a dozen Fuschia starts and almost that many geranium starts. So I will be working in the flowerbeds and filling flowerpots today, along with some weeding and sprucing the place up. And, of course, I will be trying to get some knitting done, and working on some personal development — listening to podcasts, and journaling.
Today was chilly… even though the sun was shining. So it was a perfect day to try out my new tights from a “Sister in the Wool!” She generously handed down several pairs of the coolest tights. Whe she posted on FB that she was paring down… I raised my hand!
There were three pairs of great striped leggings, and several pairs of solids, and a couple with fair isle motifs. The stripes are my favorites, especially these pink ones!!
Zip fleece is vintage REI.
For me, it is a growth thing… because before the dress, I would never have bought striped tights… or worn a short-sleeve t-shirt over a dress?? WHAT THE HECK??
And I am having so much fun with it all!!
Thanks for joining me on day 73 of #tracywearswool.
Stay tuned for the next 27 days!
.
Be well, and get out there and grow!
