Knitting and Reading On

Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. This morning I went for another walk like yesterday. I have been trying to get some fresh air before I start working from home for the day. It has been helping me with this whole social distancing and quarantine situation to go outside for a walk, get exercise, and to see other people around. This morning it was cool and windy, but the sky was so blue and beautiful. 



 I saw many signs of Spring this morning and many tulips and other flowers peaking through in gardens along beside the sidewalk. It made me feel hopeful and happy that one thing remains the same around us, the changing of season.




I have made a bit more progress on my ornament from the Merry Fair Isle Knit Ornament pattern from Patons. I like how the zig zag is turning out it is such a fun pattern and will look so nice on the Christmas tree.



I am still reading Good Morning, Good Life by Ana Schmittauer Landino. I am enjoying the strategies she lists to include in the morning. She mentions morning pages where she writes down a few pages each morning of what is on her mind. This is something that I also like to do and journal first thing in the morning. It has recently been helping me to understand my emotions during this pandemic. I have also started reading The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. I can't put it down it is so good! I really enjoy watching The Handmaids Tale television series, so I had a feeling I would enjoy it. She is such an amazing writer. I have not read her first book The Handmaid's Tale sorry to say, but after this one I will pick it up. I skipped to the second book because I had seen the show.
