Sorry not sorry to the fellow Alexandrian in the black Toyota Crown who I honked at aggressively when you cut in front of me while skipping the long line to get to Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

About a third of the way through the colorwork on my Passerine Hat. It's the first time I've used fingering weight for a hat, and I'm loving how light the fabric is.

Does anyone know what happened to the Little Free Blockbuster in Del Ray? It was near the Dairy Godmother, and it was one of my favorite ways to get rid dvds and find new ones.

Do any of you lovely ALX Skeeters have an urban fruit tree that produces more than you need? I'm always on the hunt for new sources to feed my canning habit. I will, of course, pay you in preserves.
While the rest of Alexandria doom scrolled and/or enjoyed the beautiful weather, I homesteaded.
