Day Parole

Isn't it amazing what a week can do??! Last Monday you could hear the bees on the flowering bushes in the middle of the day. Bird song was everywhere. This Monday all you can hear is the sound of cars & street noise. I live about a block from a bridge which becomes one of the major routes out of the burbs into 'town'. It also carries a lot of big trucks coming & going locally. My little corner of the world was sooo quiet, peaceful & pollution free. People are back on the streets fighting & blowing off firecrackers. Gangs of noisy kids are roaming once more. Sirens are going at night again. And all you can hear is the sound of traveling cars. I know we had to re-open & people had to go back to work but the peace & quiet was delightful all the same  .  .  .

At least part of the world is open. My first appointment with my new Cardiologist is a phone appointment. He has a brand new baby at home so he's being extra careful right now. I don't mind. Saves me the cost of getting there & paying for expensive parking. He'll probably only send me for more tests anyway - it's been 6 months since my last echo-cardiogram. I am also anxious to get my eyes tested. I need new glasses ASAP. I wonder if Optometrists are open yet??? And I need a hair cut like half the world too. One of my pals confessed to buying clippers & giving himself a Covid Cut. I can't wait to see it!!

So, what am I up to this week?? Mike decided we need one more bin to finish up the big cleanup before we move my stuff from the storage to the downstairs room. Most of it's in plastic tubs so I will be able to go through it little by little on my own & find all my knitting & crochet projects. I tried to put all the current projects into one big tub so I could resume working on 5 sweaters, two pairs of socks & one big afghan when I found it! Hahaha Don't laugh, I know some of you have even more on the go.
I downloaded a couple of Kate Davies patterns that I really want to knit too. I like the construction & wondered if I could size them up .  .  .  .
