Text of the page (random words):
ada day so happy canada day to everyone north of our border i hope for your sake it s more comfortable temperature wise and for those of us who live elsewhere happy july 1 we are officially starting the second half of 2026 which is at least for me always hard to wrap my brain around we are supposed to have temperatures in the 100 degree range over the next 5 or 6 days and that s not even taking into account the infamous feels like temperature that includes the humidity gah my reverse sad is kicking into gear this morning however felt very very nice so alfie and i took advantage of time out in the garden since the next few days will probably not be good ones to be out there he was very pleased to be out there but not so much to come back inside but i told him that after we fill the bird feeders we have to come in so that the birds and squirrels can have a chance to eat he usually give me a dirty look but then once we are actually inside he remembers that the window looks out onto the garden so it s all good we were supposed to go to a baseball game tomorrow our annual pittsburgh pirates vs the philadelphia phillies but since it s supposed to be at least 104 degrees and we don t do well in extreme heat we sold our tickets i just hope the person who bought them is sensible about being prepared for the weather our seats are under an overhang so at least they won t be out in the direct sun baking away it s extremely disappointing but july is a crap shoot with a few nice days mixed in with mostly awful days and this year we lost that bet saturday is of course july 4 and the 250th birthday of america as well as a world cup match here in philadelphia i am beyond disappointed that orange foolius is in office and doing his asinine things during this special time which i ve looked forward to for years i had already decided that i was going to ignore his plans and enjoy being in philadelphia instead but now a lot of things are being cancelled or time shortened etc because of the extreme heat which i am also blaming him for btw because he makes life hell on earth and now it even feels like it oh well we ll just have our own little party together here in the house happy 250 indeed speaking of the world cup it has been wonderful to be in philadelphia with so many people visiting and seeming to enjoy themselves so much last week i took a walk and stopped at a neighborhood coffee shop and while i was waiting for my order there were two young men in soccer jerseys sitting at a table one of them asked me if i lived in the neighborhood and i said yes and we spent about 20 minutes chatting they were visiting from munich germany for some of the world cup matches they had been in houston for a match a couple of days before and told me it was too hot there and hard to walk around with no good public transportation but they loved philadelphia they said in some ways it was a lot like munich but not as many lakes and they were enjoying themselves immensely here after here they were headed to nyc and then back home they were kind of disappointed not to see more matches but until they tried to book their trip they didn t realize that america is so big that it s hard to get to some places easily and i know that but i tend to forget especially since here in the northeast things are so close together anyway they were lovely and i was glad they were getting such a good impression not only of the city but the country at large one of them said americans are much nicer than donald trump low bar but still i told him to please tell people that when they got home i was telling this to a friend and she told me that she read that someone said that the new york knicks victory parade mayor mamdani s speech there the opening of the obama center and the world cup were all the 250th celebration we deserved i completely agree and i m going with that someone posted on instagram that having the world cup in the u s was like having your cousins visit after you haven t seen them for years because your respective sets of parents are no longer speaking to one another ok enough blathering from me about all of this i hope if you are somewhere that is too hot or too cold or suffering too many fires or just whatever else is being unleashed that you can manage to keep safe and comfortable and i hope if you are canadian you ll have a tim hortons for me a donut or cruller with a hot tea with milk or timbits are also good you choose take care everyone posted by bridget at 9 49 am 2 comments labels alfie canada july 4th summer weather world cup in philly 2026 19 june 2026 just because this is an overhead shot of my geranium plants in the garden as you can see one little flower is blooming and there are other ones getting ready for as long as i can remember we always had geraniums in pots during the summer my mother was not a gardener but when summer came there were always geraniums in pots on the porch they were usually red and i m not sure if that s because my mom liked the red best or if there wasn t really any choice where she got them anyway to me it s not right to not have at least one geranium for the summer a couple of years ago i bought one and put it in a pot with another plant whose name escapes me and placed it on our front stoop it looked so lovely apparently so lovely that someone else just had to have it now the geraniums well all the plants really stay in the garden which is enclosed this year i bought a pink one and a red one and then got home to realize i didn t have two pots now you need to understand that when i am ready to do something like plant pot whatever it has to happen then so both plants got put into a larger pot and at least so far all is well every year when i buy a geranium or two the tim says i don t undertand why you buy those i mean they re nice but yours never last into the fall or beyond even when you bring them inside to take care of them silly boy apparently he had a deprived childhood because everyone well me knows that if it s summer you have to have a geranium in a pot to make you smile have a good weekend posted by bridget at 8 47 am no comments labels flowers garden memories my mom summer the tim 15 june 2026 fo angypang socks getting there on the needles local wildlife hello everyone and thank you for your such kind comments on my last post i think i may still have problems responding to comments on this post which you ll understand soon but i do feel like i might be getting there slowly thanks for sticking around and caring now for an fo to show you ta da project angypang socks pattern little boxes socks by summer lee yarns farmers daughters fibers highwood sock in the colorway morning honey farmers daughters fibers rocky mountain purls in the rooted eartb colorway both are part of the sock squad 2026 club needles us size 1 2 25 mm and us size 1 1 2 2 5 mm notes i was cruising instagram one day when i came across a post by edble thoughts makes where she showed her completed pair of these socks i was so immediately hooked and even knew what yarn i would use so i bought the pattern and cast on this was in the middle of april and i zoomed along pretty quickly for me while i knit the first sock we still had angus and he would sit with me while i knit i told him we should call these socks sunshine and blue skies because i felt like that s what they showed and how i felt when he was with me then the day i was finishing the first sock it was the day we were leaving to return him to thei rescue he was leaning against me as i finished kitchenering them i decided then and there they would be the angypang socks because i would call him angypang when i was teasing him in the photo above if you look closely you can see a few extra yellow stitches in the middle of the first toe round across the top i told him that was the two of us working on this sock together and i would always be able to know that was the first sock i knit and that he was there and now i m sobbing again which is why it took me so long to post this fo i m not sure i ll be able to wear them anytime soon but they will be there when i m ready as for the pattern if you want to try colorwork on a small area this is a great pattern so clearly written and truly so simple once you get the first pattern repeat finished it s pretty much in your head and since they are shortie socks they go so fast though i m definitely gonna try this pattern on a regular pair of socks down the line this is the first time i ve knit a summer lee pattern and i get her popularity now it s well earned ok i m back after a good cry break to show you one of the things currently on my needles after i finished the litle boxes it was about two weeks without any socks on the needles i know for me that s nuts first some background for you the week before memorial day alfie and i spent some time in the garden cleaning up i thought since we weren t going to wv for the holiday weekend it would be nice if the garden was ready for us to be out there spoiler alert it rained all weekend but we at least had cleaned up the garden anyway since then alfie and i have been going out into the garden first thing in the morning and hanging out just enjoying it right now at least the weather is pleasant and there are no mosquitoes around yet yayayayay so being out there is just perfect last week one day instead of reading like i usually do i decided to work on a pair of socks i ve started i ve gotten more done since this photo was taken but i am nonetheless really happy with how they are looking these socks are the cottage hearts pattern by crazy sock lady designs they will be regular socks as opposed to shorties and again i am having fun with colors i have finished the leg and just yesterday finished the gusset on the first sock so they are zooming right along as well while alfie and i were out in the garden last week and i was knitting we had a visitor this little squirrel youngster showed up he got closer to both of us than he probably should have but i of course was no threat and alfie was interested but not enough to do anything about it i m not sure if he didn t want to get up or if maybe he realized it was a young squirrel and was not going to engage but anyway we all sat out there together for about half an hour more after he showed up we thought about calling him tiny but i told alfie that was too easy so instead we named him petits pois it was a lovely time our little trio just enjoying a nice morning and that s catching you up with things more or less unfortunately the hits keep coming in my family but they are interspersed with some nice things so i try to keep those in mind we had a lovely bloomsday yesterday and also belatedly celebrated milo the koodle s birthday since we couldn t easily do it when it actually came around and fortunately he didn t mind so i hope all of you are doing well and finding some good nice happy to be thankful for even in any of the bad i m hoping to get myself more on track and hopefully the universe will give me a break so i can pick up a little bit more momentum with everything but regardless once again than you for being here and being so kind enjoy your day posted by bridget at 5 20 pm 3 comments labels alfie angus podgorny family fos garden sadness socks wips 09 june 2026 trying to be ok hello friends and happy june to all of you i m afraid i m still having some troubles getting back into the swing of things besides having to say goodbye to angus there s been some not so great health news in my own family that is also causing me to not feel much better about things but i really am trying to be ok i absolutely promise you and i know i ll be ok it s just a never ending pile up of stuff at the moment which is also why i haven t responded much to all of you who have been kind enough to leave comments on previous posts even doing that is more than i can handle some days so i m not blowing you off i just don t currently have bandwidth i m hoping that any comments i get on this post will be ones i can get the wherewithal to repond to since talking to all of you is such a happy thing for me i m still behind on other things too though i am doing the things that absolutely are necessary to do so i m not a complete zombie which is good because distractions even cleaning things up ugh are a good thing at the moment other that that i picked up a stitching project i started last summer and did only a small amount on and i did manage to finish a section did i already show this to you i can t remember i m happy with how it is turning out hopefully i can finish it this summer i also finally get started on a knitting project that i ve meant to do for over a year even had the yarn ready this is the start of the skyline tee by tori yu this is the first time i ve knit one of her patterns and it s so well written and clear i was a bit hesitant because there were some things i ve never tried before but her instructions made things incredibly understandable like the stitching project hopefully this will be finished this summer as well after alfie and i cleaned up the garden a few weeks ago we have been able to enjoy sitting out there together first thing in the morning he enjoys watching the birds and squirrels and just hanging out we usually go out for about an hour or an hour and a half and it s nice because it s usually so quiet i generally read and enjoy my cup of tea and on very rare occasions a squirrel will not realize he is there and he ll go to chase it but fortunately the squirrels are much faster than he is it s become a pleasant ritual and other than rainy days we do it for sure i don t know if we ll continue once the extreme heat and or humidity arrive but it s nice for now so that s the news from me i hope all of you are well and trust me i ve been reading all of your blogs even if i don t comment that much at the present thanks for hanging in it s nice to have comments to read even if currently i m quiet at the other end of things posted by bridget at 7 08 am 5 comments labels alfie angus podgorny cross stitch
