- The weirdness in the air is continuing
- Has anyone else noticed that strange things are coming out of the blue these days
- The man across the street, self-described as a young 75
- Has taken to courtly escorting another neighbour
- Someone who works shifts
- Down the long hill towards her workplace
- He gets up at 6:00 am to do this
- Like he was going to be walking down that hill this time anyway
- And he is always weeding on his lawn the time she walks by at night
- Who needs TV I ask you?
- When the pandemic has made the stories of the neighbourhood
- More interesting than anything anyone could make up
- A few months ago my youngest son moved home to here, after working in the US for a few years
- The actual morning after he arrived and he talked about his plans to be home
- He got a great job offer back in Texas
- You would understand
- That the morning of the day I would drive him to the airport in the evening
- I got up at 5:00 am and made him a shirt and linen pants
- To wear in Austin and a heat we don't have here
- For a while now I have felt a compulsion to sew
- To get something out that was in
- Does sewing do that for you?
- I just knew I had to get sewing
- Of course most of the things I have made
- Have been for other people
- I never remember to ask for pictures
- Tomorrow it will be a seersucker nightgown for one girl
- Pants for my sister
- Tops for my husband
- A housecoat for my daughter
- And a couple of dresses for me
- I have decided that with the way my life is going
- It has to be packable
- So that's interesting
- The linens are being washed and dried
- Is an instapot better than a slow cooker?
- From the point of view of sewing not cooking
- I am threatening to make myself a two piece this year
- Again the kids will pretend to not recognize me if I do
- And clothes for someone to wear to junior high
- That's a hard age to dress
- Girls seem to be offered only the too revealing or nothing
- Going to be interesting to figure this one out
- Nova Scotia is unbelievably beautiful in summer
- Just spectacular
- Always hard to believe the recovery that comes after the icebox winter
- I think I sew my own springs
- To be illustrated as we go
