… are below freezing cold. As I was fixing breakfast, I felt my slippers sticking to the floor; looking down, I saw why: there was a puddle of water right in front of the sink . That cold! For when the temp drops to 20s, the pipe under the kitchen sink drips water and eventually, the water overflows to the floor. Breakfast-fixin’ postponed while I mopped up water. Appealed to Alexa ~ to no avail … Note to Self: call in plumber; I’m sure there’s a wrap that can be affixed to take care of that little annoyance.
Yesterday, one member of our Thurs Stitchin’ group texted she was knitting Joey (kangeroo) pouches. ??? I replied…and she answered: Australian wildfires have left a lot of orphans…including kangaroos…so there is a worldwide call for knitted kangaroo pouch simulators. Another member shared there is also a world wide call for tree quilt blocks for (human) families who are homeless as a result of the fires.
There are still hours left in this national holiday of service and tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. I am now off to my sewing studio to look for fabrics to make a tree quilt block or two.
Cheers~
P.S. The temperature is currently 33°F and the sun shines; perhaps I’ll fire up Inspector Gamache and we’ll go for a quick spin around the block before the sun sets.

Too bad Alexa didn’t heed your call . . .

I took a very invigorating walk this morning – it was brisk but glorious out! Happy Monday!

Hoping the day ended better, with that walk in the company of Inspector Ganache, than it started … So many crafty ways to help support others and good to know about them. Hoping it’s less cold now. We have been very lucky with our winter weather so far …

If they can get Alexa to do house cleaning, maybe I’ll finally get one of those devices!

The caption on the photo was the laugh of the day! Hope the plumber can put an end to the leak. That pipe would have a hey day here this winter!
