I went into our local library to pick up a book, and wow the new art display is some AMAZING stained glass, nature subjects, portraits, really, and done with mostly reused materials. The artist is named Marti Allen. I love her work!!!

A large stained glass panel of two Sandhills cranes on a flowered hillside. They are standing parallel to one another with their heads upraised.

A number of stained glass panels hanging in a large window. Four are of various sorts of birds, one is a large tree.

It arrived! I am so happy with this warm story about treasuring family and creating community! (Actually, “they” arrived because I got one to keep and one to give away.) Kelly Wu’s lively illustrations perfectly complement @celestepewter.bsky.social ’s wonderful story from her own family. I love it!

Picture of a children’s picture book titled “The Great Pumpkin Pancake Party”
The picture is of a young girl and her grandfather sitting cross legged across from each other at a small table stacked high with pumpkin pancakes that they are eating with chopsticks. They are surrounded by by pumpkins and gourds and Halloween festoons and orange paper lanterns shaped like pumpkins. They look at each other with happiness and affection.

After lunch, a nap.

A grey tabby tuxedo cat curled on a sofa between a larger than him teddy bear and a pillow. His tail is curled around his body. His front paw is both covering his eye and nose, and holding on to the tip of his tail.

I was, in fact, just about to get up and grab something to eat, but someone arrived.

One of the good signs from the Middleton, WI No Kings event

A white signs has the following spelled out in red and blue letters:
The American
Revolution
Was A
NO KINGS
Rally

Middleton, WI turned out for No Kings! A lot of folks headed for the really big rally in Madison honked, waved, and held up their protest signs to the car windows or out of sunroofs.

Photo of people lined up along University Ave in Middleton, WI for the No Kings rally. On the opposite side of the street you can see people lined up for two blocks. Unseen are the people on the photographer’s side. Unseen, the are also a number more behind the photographer.

I hadn’t made Hamburger HotDish in years, but tonight was the night.

A large bowl of penne and elbow macaroni that have been cooked in a tomato sauce with browned hamburger, celery, onion, green pepper, garlic and additional assorted seasonings.

Awww! We have an orange tabby Walt

Orange tabby stretched out on his side next to a blue jean clad leg. His front paws are “air biscuit making” (like playing air guitar but for cats).

Am coloring. Sparkle!

A round mandala type coloring page in process. Most of the colors are fairly subdued, but the outermost ring is yellow with sparkly gold glitter gel pen dots and edging.
My inner child is very happy.

Our Beau. Similar girth, but not quite as much fluff. Also thinking.

2/2 What it has already done: Sent a small but nonetheless important donation to immigrant support in Minnesota . So, yeah, I don’t see any negatives here. Knit on.

A red knit hat in progress on a circular needle, so far consisting of about 4 1/2 inches of 1 x 1 ribbing. Very repetitive and soothing to knit.

I found some red yarn in the stash, so I figured I would make a “Melt The Ice” hat.

A skein of red yarn under a circular knitting needle with a couple of inches of 1 x 1 ribbing on it. This is resting on the print out of a knitting pattern based on hats worn by the Resistance in occupied Norway during WWII
