Florida is WET.

 Coming back to Florida was an experience after hurricane Ian. We thought we had seen enough water in our backyard but it turned out other things were planned for us, three days after getting back we had hurricane Nicole. Charlie had to dig a big ditch from the backyard to the front running out into the street. We actually had running water for a week into the street. It was so much overflow from retention ponds surrounding us, but now we’re getting back to normal and it’s drying up. 

I am in sourdough bread production mode having so much fun, baking sourdough bread from my Vivian starter. She really does good down here. I don’t know what the difference is, but I get such a good rise and she grows really well.  I can put her to sleep in the refrigerator for two or three days wake her up and poof I have bread. 

I finished washing the he two fleeces up north that were given to me by a friend and brought down two pillowcases full. Now I am in the process of working through it slowly combing it, or carding it, and then spinning it into whatever yarn I need to work on which ever project I’m doing currently. 

I am trying to learn felting, in the style of felting the product after its knit up.  It’s fun to explore different techniques of how this is done. I’ve done it in the sink by hand and now I want to try to do it in a washing machine on a bigger scale wish me luck. 

Have a great day and remember- Even a little thing is special to someone 😊
