Adventures with wild horses


 OR 

Adventures with wild dolphins?*


Cross-stitch-wise, Santa is done except for backstitching.  Now on to a snow-covered tree and kittens on the sled.  (Or "sledge," as the English designer calls it.)
The fabric is light blue, though it looks dirty grey in this picture.  Santa has little chicken legs, which is kind of endearing.  There are loads of snowflakes, which I may freestyle rather than strictly following their placement on the pattern.  As long as it's snowing, right?  The fabric is 18-count, the first time I've used it in a while, and I'm having occasional trouble seeing.  I have one of those light sets that goes around your neck, and it's helping.





*Horses for me, due in very large part to the fact that I can't swim.

What a cute Santa! I have a set of those neck lights too. They really do help. Horses? Nope. I'm afraid of them. Too big. Dolphins? Nope. They are out where it's too deep. Might be sharks. I have been out to Chincoteague Island and seen the wild ponies. As long as they are in the distance, I'm ok.

Cute Santa!!!! I guess dolphins? I think they would be more playful. The horse might stomp one!

Nice Day

Went to Atlanta for a postponed Mother's Day day today.   First stop:  H Mart .  Completely overwhelming.  We stuck to pre-packaged things, so as not to leave fresh and/or frozen things in my car.  Interesting along the way: and Now, I'm not trying to be culturally insensitive, but, no thanks. Next: a  rotating sushi  bar.*  Delicious.  I tried to keep myself in check, as Hannah was paying.  Let's just say I could have eaten much more. Then back to her apartment to watch "Barbie."  She had even bought special drinks. Another special day. *The sushi rotated, not the building.

 You live in a little apartment in the center of town OR a little cabin in a secluded forest... I'll go with a cabin.  I do like a nice apartment, but a cozy little place with a fire?  No worries about neighbors?  Win. It's rained here all day.  Never particularly hard, but quite steady.  There were 6 or 8 minutes of sun at Noon, then right back to the rain.  There are spotty power outages and trees down, but not right here.  There weren't even that many branches down in the yard.
