Phix's Curiosity: what sparks my interest
Watch this space to see what's sparked my interest this week. A random grab bag of delights!
August. There's something about August. It's hot. It seems like everything is hurry up and wait. The nights are starting ever so much earlier - the change that started in late June is finally faintly noticeable. The wheel is turning, it's just... we're so close to fall and fall is my favorite.
It's also full spider season. When I look out at the backyard in the morning, or catch it just right in the evenings, I can see the spiderwebs everywhere. Hanging from between trees, covering the grass/weeds like dew, everywhere. Soon we will go from this and walking through spiderwebs any time we venture outside to European House Spider season. The BIG ones. They love this house. What we get for living (kinda) in the woods!
Medusa's Garden
When you need every one and everything around you to just stop.
Tour de Fleece is over. I've managed to keep up with the carding and spinning. I know, I know - that's usually the next section... but what's been working for making the monkey brain shushed has been a combo of meditation and spinning and carding.
Ariadne's Yarn: playing with threads
What I'm up to with fiber and possibly how mythology and stories all tie together.
Since I'm here... yeah, spinning and carding and having fun with the black Welsh mountain sheep... Who wins bobbin chicken? I DO!
Mythic Librarian: the art of arranging a life
Thoughts on ontology and ways to organize a life.
Something that sometimes needs to be done. Take the next small step towards whatever needs to be done. Can't eat an elephant or drink the ocean all at once. Small sips, small bites. And a lot of them. Sometimes you get a springboard thrown in just for kicks and giggles. But they don't come around very often so, one small step, sip, bite and eventually everything will break free and you can make some progress again. These are, truly, the dog days of summer...
