I'm happy to see so many Democrats won in yesterday's election, and hope things will continue that way as we move towards the midterms.
I haven't worked much on this variegated afghan, as summer really isn't the time to have something this heavy on your lap; but now that the weather has turned; time to pull it out and get busy again.This past summer I planted Milkweed for the first time, and this was the first of 2 caterpillars I saw. The season was almost over before I spotted any, and as you can see the plant was on it's way out. After he ate a good bit, I moved him to a 2nd plant that was looking a bit better, I thought. Then several days later as the cat was getting bigger, it moved it'self to a smaller plant and ate almost all of it...hopefully next year will be a bit better. It was exciting to see the caterpillars. Monarchs and all butterflies need folks to plant accordingly.I finished this book a few days ago and am sorry I took the time to read it. I stopped reading it multiple times and switched to other books that became available on my Libby. I should have returned it unread. Really HATED it. I'm surprised it's rated pretty well. I thought it was boring and slow moving initially, the story disjointed, and the ending DEPRESSING. If it's on your to read list, do yourself a favor and delete it.This book, How Fascism Works is a must read for everyone. I wish I thought some of trumpie's supporters would read it, but I'm not hopeful. A very talked about book. A bit hard to read. We all know how horrific Epstein and Maxwell were, but to hear the details of what this poor child went through, as did others........heartbreaking. I hope it's read by many and that increases the pressure on the pedophile protectors to release the files.I've not kept up with documenting my exercise, as the summer's heat kept me from doing much walking beyond yard work and mowing. However, hubby and I spent 16 days getting to and touring France and got lots of walking in. Over our 16 days we walked 237,453 steps for an average of 14,841 per day with our highest day of 19,879. Our total mileage was 96.53 for an average 6.03 miles per day. The balls of my feet actually got sore, felt almost bruised. I think it was all the cobblestone, and uneven terrain. I'll be blogging about the trip with lots of pictures once I get them all edited. Been ages since I've blogged, must get back into and look forward to visiting all your blogs to catch up.
