American Indian Heritage Month

Including titles, I wrote 771 words today for NaNoWriMo. It is larger than my daily goal (350-400 words) and smaller than what I would want to do if my goal was the 50,000 total (~1667 words a day) that is suggested for adults. Yay! I started.  Other happy things for today:

  • Aesop and I walked by the swamp today.  It looks beautiful.
Still some color reflecting on the water.

  • TF brought my attention to today's Google Doodle.  It is about a Zuni person, We:wa.  This is the first day of American Indian Heritage Month.  One of the things that We:wa did was weave, and I do a little weaving too.  I found Behind the Doodle interesting too.
  • Zed saved me from making a phone call.  As an introvert, calling companies to order things can be a huge anxiety trigger.  Zed made the call for me and I am very grateful.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.

Friday!!

On Fridays the craft night that used to happen before Covid is happening again. I don’t tend to go often but I did tonight. Keziah and I left early to get some food from across the street and bring it to friends. After Keziah ordered, I realized I didn’t have my phone so I walked across the street to get it. As I waited for my turn through the cars to go back to the restaurant there was a large bird flying over the street. It was not high, maybe just above the treeline. It was a bald eagle. I was stunned momentarily and then realized my phone was in my hand. By the time the camera was up the eagle was down the street but I took the picture anyway. It is not identifiable from the picture, but I am so thrilled to have seen this giant bird fly over my head.


It is hard to see in this picture so...


I blew it up.
Still hard to identify, but it is a bald eagle!

Other things that I am happy for today:

  • I allowed myself to become totally distracted and drawn in by the Google Doodle game. 
  • Seeing friends at craft night.
  • When taking a walk I noticed there were some flowers being polinated.
Purple Coneflower.

  • Tf and I brought a little bit of whimsy into our Minecraft game.                                                           
    A face.
