A little bit of everything

Smaug beanie for children! Thinking I should make some for adults...

Not exactly a downpour, but very unusual weather for California in August! #sprinkles #rain #summerrain #NorthernCaliforniaColfax #NorthernCalifornia https://www.instagram.com/p/CguobyMPh2W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My little man, Peanut, gamely riding out the heat. #peanutthechiweenie #dogslife #chiweeniesofinstagram #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahualove #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #summertime🌞 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgpcPQyPw8B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A nice leisurely brunch with my main squeeze, then some peaceful relaxing with my little man, Peanut. Happy Father's day! #northerncalifornia #peanutthechiweenie #happyfathersday #mainsqueeze #husband #tjsroadhousecolfax (at TJ's Roadhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfAOMgEvRi_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After multiple attempts to pay via phone, and not wanting to open an account for a one time payment online, I actually used my checkbook and stamps - old school! #snailmail #backtothebasics #tiredofonlinepayments #letsgooldschoolbaby https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceo_38FvaCy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My little man, Peanut, trying to snooze when the birds start talking! #peanutthechiweenie #chihuahuasofinstagram #birdsong #afternoonnap😴 #batearsdog #mildweathertoday☀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXEGraDi9P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The line trees on my property are a pain in the ass to maintain, but then you look up and see this. #northerncalifornia #upwards #viewfrombelowlookingup #pinetrees🌲 #burndays🔥 #nature #hardlabor #makesmehappy❤️ #pleasedontburnupthisyear #fireseason2022🔥❤️👩‍👩‍👧 https://www.instagram.com/p/CblhGWwPD4c/?utm_medium=tumblr

Burn days can be long and hard but you gotta take advantage of them to prepare for Fire Season. Yes, I just said Fire followed by the word Season. In the meantime, I've got the best company when I'm on a break! #burndays🔥 #fireseason #hardwork #peanutthechiweenie #chihuahuamix #chiweeniesofinstagram #chiweenie #breaktime #ohmyfuckmybackiskillingme #northerncalifornia #goodlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CblV3zjPY6u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tiki fountain is up and running! #springhassprung🌸 #tikifountain #tikifountain #spring #backyardtiki #mountainlife #tikilover #tikiloversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYag6ZPoRt/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's a beautiful spring-like day outside and I'm inside doing this. Someone is not happy with my choice! What's on your needles or hook today? #peanutthechiweenie #nittinnina #tecumsehsweater #strandedknitting #handknit #knittingintheround #knittersofinstagram #chihuahuasofinstagram #chiweeniesofinstagram #cheekybeggar #boylandknitworks #workinprogress #workingwithworsted #modifiedtecumsehsweater https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBEPPFviZ7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nothing like having to frog 340 stitches because you were in a hurry...😭😆 #tecumsehsweater #nittinnina #froggingsucks #needtoslowdown #thatswhatigetforrushing #handknitting #screwingupyourproject https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3Km40JSk2/?utm_medium=tumblr

So of course I'm not happy with the way my stitches appear inconsistent and sloppy, but I'm going to power through it. I think this is my stranding modis operandi! 😆 #workinprogress #boylandknitworks #tecumsehsweater #strandedknitting #strandedcolorwork #knittersofinstagram #alwayslearning #caitlinhunter #nittinnina #cantwaittobedone #wanttowearnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Cagsbe3ruzk/?utm_medium=tumblr

So this is what happens when you and your best buddy pop into Costco for a bag of coffee. #northerncalifornia #costcohaul #regretnoregretregretnopeidontregret #noregrets #broketilpaydaynow #broketilpaydaybutworthit #biggroceryhaul #costcofinds https://www.instagram.com/p/CaIZghku942/?utm_medium=tumblr
