I have been crocheting up a storm and will post pictures later after I get my act together for the day. Or tomorrow, LOL!

Baby blankets, scrap-busting 7” squares for afghans, lap robes, etc.

Beau is impressed! I have a crochet project going in THREE separate rooms of the house, LOL! He had me interpret a crochet pattern for him, yesterday. At least he’s making an effort. He knits, but hasn’t in many years. I’m just planting the seeds...

Trying to get motivated to do SOMETHING with yarn ... either a project or re-organize.

Instead, I’m eating a pound of bacon - not kidding. The last 5 slices are in the toaster oven. Rain expected in this afternoon & through the night. Later this afternoon, I think I’ll make some hard-boiled egg eggnog - the bird feeders are currently mobbed .... the feeding frenzy must be rubbing off on me.

Tomorrow, after the rain moves out, it’s supposed to be 60 degrees. Our mailbox just got swacked for the 3rd time & is all but facing sideways so I’ll be repairing the post, after I remove the box (remarkably not damaged) & dig the post up, & before relocating it to the other side of the driveway. Currently, it is directly across the street from the neighbor’s driveway. The road is narrow. He and his wife (from experience) know to look out for the box when backing out, but delivery drivers, etc. to their house, don’t. Too bad I can’t fix the situation with a crochet hook or knitting needles. Instead, I’ll be out there with a post hole digger, drill (for taking out bent screws & putting in new ones), hammer, & my biceps ... after digging the dirt & filling my 4 3’x6’x12” new raised beds this fall, I actually have some biceps showing. :-) All the men are hunting (last weekend of deer season) so no help. Hopefully, I can get the post back in the ground & the box on before the mail lady comes.

Maybe something with yarn will be more appealing after the mailbox ‘adventure’ (it’s likely to be one). Happy New Year to all .... fasten your seat belts, I think we’ll need them in 2021.
