Very bright sunny morning today. I think we have already reached the high temp for the day--just above 60. They expect the low tonight to be just about freezing. Right now we have strong winds. I erased what I had typed because it was so grumpy. I think I still wasn't awake and my second cup of coffee hadn't really kicked in. I got some crochet work done today on a new project. As you should know by now I don't now and never have followed the "finish a project before beginning another." I have followed some bloggers who rigorously do that. But I am more like one who has about five different quilts in progress and over the year has already finished a similar number. Right now I have to embroidery pieces on hoops. I just finished one blanket using worsted weight yarn and another is now in the play-it-until-you-like-it phase. Two light baby weight yarn projects are either works-in-progress or just at the weave-in-loose-ends stage. And two thread weight pieces on hooks. And yes I have enough hoops and hooks to do all those and more. You can never have enough of either.
The various off year elections were interesting. I don't know if they mean much for the next three years or for however long our national dementia lasts. It is obvious that a lot of people are not happy with Trump and how the economy is going. Most of the administration is in the "believe me not your lying eyes" or the fake price tags in the local grocery store. Mamdani, Sherril, Spanberger hit their opponents repeatedly on "affordability" issues when they weren't hitting Trump. It also looks like a significant number of voters are not happy with repeated efforts to rig future elections by mid-decade redistricting. Thank you, Supreme Court, for gutting the Voting Rights Act and allowing political gerrymandering.
