More Stamping

 It has been a long day with Gideon not feeling well in the end.  He had a fever.  Keziah had a home Covid test and he tested negative.  Anxiety is high though.  Gideon and I had a nice walk with Aesop, the dog, this morning while he was still feeling alright.  Our second walk is when he started to not feel well.  Here are some happy things from today:


  • It is hard to make out from the picture, but there is a layer of fog becoming cloud over the river.  It was very beautiful.


  • Some of the wild sweet William is still blooming so the bees can do their collecting.


  • More masks were stamped!  I think we totaled 450.  There are white and black ones for different types of check in.  I don't like to reveal what a site token will look like for security reasons, but part of it has the Baronial device.
Keziah carved all the stamps
(which has another name that isn't coming to me).

The ink is rolled on.

Then the stamp
with the ink is pressed onto the fabric.
This is a medieval craft that we used modern materials to do.
  • Keziah and I got some pre-hurricane cleaning up of the yard done this afternoon.  Most likely, Henri will be a tropical storm by the time it reaches us, but winds could still be over 40 MPH and we had stuff that needed to come in.

Color

 "She found it interesting that she only saw the man with the german shepherd when she walked late at night around a full moon."  That is it... the first line of a story that has yet to be written.  Probably the only line... no, I just started a Google doc and there are now three lines, probably the only three.  🤣 



 Anyhow, I went on a late night walk by myself to reach my 10,000 step goal for the day.  I left our dog, Aesop, at home and I am glad I did because of the man in the shadows with a big dog.  Other happy things from this day include:

  • Friends came by and we worked on using some ink and the stamps that Keziah carved to print on masks.  They will be the site token for the upcoming event.
We have 300 drying.
  • There was a lovely sunset.  The sky brought color before the sun set and color was removed.



  • Today my youngest turned 27 and we got to have a short family phone call.

Happy New Year's Eve!

 Here it is, my final blog of the year.  2021 has been a long year.  I wrote a little personal review of my year and posted it in my Odds an...
