I was busy Friday, forgot Saturday, so... Sunday it is.
1. A friend of mine is in Texas. While he said it's raining a LOT, he is okay, and has no threat of flooding, as far as he knows. Lots of other chaos, but not flooding.
2. Fourth wasn't too noisy, and no fires started in this area.
3. I bought a new tie dye shirt, and amazingly, a pair of socks I am knitting from a skein of yarn bought some time ago, match very closely!
4. My not-wool socks I have made for myself are working fairly well. They don't hold the heat in quite as much, and don't make my feet smell like a wet sheep with toe jam... !
5. I decided to try a Make A Long, a "wrapghan" (more or less a shawl), based on mood. I came up with darker, more fall colors for mine, which works, because it is a three month knit a long. Or crochet, too, but I chose knit. Pictures later.
6. I *think* Husband has blocked the deer from getting in my garden. It took a couple tries, but, knock wood, they haven't been in, that I can see. There is a young cat, using the fresh dirt near the entrance for a potty, but it's not eating my plants. Wish I could make friends with it, but it is totally spooky at this point.
7. Husband came up with a trade for some boards. He came up with a way to make more raised beds, and LESS MOWING! Looking forward to that. I like to mow, but the area is a tinkery nuisance, raised beds will be much nicer.
8. I have two dark green chairs, but couldn't remember where they were. Husband knew, and retrieved them for me. They will need clean up, (storage under a bird nest is NOT recommended), but will look nice in my personal Home and Garden spot.
9. I have wanted to learn pine needle basketry. I now have not one, but two books to work with!
10. Ding has come up with an interesting new thing. In the early morning, when she knows I am awake, she will lie down beside me, and pet my hair or face. I pet back. Nice way to fall asleep again.
Please be safe, be happy, and have a most excellent week!!

Life does happen, and it sounds like you've got lots of good things going on. Please give scritches to Ding from me.
Sunday is perfectly timed for a TToT post. (It's fun to see the list grow longer as the weekend progresses.)
We surrendered to the fauna (deers and rabbits and such)...figured they probably didn't have much in their respective cupboards and/or refrigerators lol
Full Disclosure gave up on the gardening thing. But more for a lack of suitable light than being a all-you-can-eat buffet.
