Enjoying connecting with people here. I'm interested in history, science, art, archaeology, farming, linguistics, justice work, and religion. Copyeditor, quilter, darner, birder, winter lover, pluviophile, night-sky watcher, cloud admirer. She/her. I live in New Jersey.

I find my understanding of things is never enriched by reading NYTimes opinion people. They add nothing!
People knew two years ago that Biden was going to have two more birthdays and be the age he is now. Why didn't they panic then?
I sewed my first mask on March 13, 2020, and this was one of my early batches. I eventually sewed about 200 masks. Until proper masks became widely available, I sent these to family and friends and donated them to hospitals and social service agencies. Sewing helped me feel useful during that difficult time. It was also a nice way to use up fabric I didn't have anything in mind for.
Four years ago today, we had a tea party for the dolls. A week or so later, I put everything away and didn’t see my granddaughters again for a long time.
Happy Singles Awareness Day to all who observe. And I do mean happy singles!
@nytimes Still telling me what Tr*mp voters think. We know all too well what they think! Why don't you talk to some Black women sometime?
Going on the bed today (it's cold here!) is my Civil War scrap Log Cabin. I chose the architectural effect of a straight set, though I always admire Log Cabin sets that create a secondary pattern. Much time for meditating as I chain-pieced 72 blocks. I sew on a 1951 Featherweight. #quilts #quilting #fabric
I wrote to #Menendez before the last election and told him not to screw up again and to retire after this term, leaving the seat for a Democrat who will not humiliate New Jerseyans. We literally have a country to save and he pulls this crap? I'm grinding my teeth to a powder today!
The Corsi-Rosenthal box is up and running. Thursday is Granny Macaroni night, and my granddaughters will no doubt bring me germs from school, but this should help. Here's hoping! #COVID19 #corsiRosenthal #CovidIsNotOver #joinIn
NYTimes has a headline today (I'm not linking to that awful columnist): "Why is Biden So Unpopular?" ... Why am I having trouble remembering all the "Why Do People Loathe Tr*mp?" headlines? Because they never did that crap with Tr*mp! They loved him and still do. Still not getting it, #nytimes @nytimes
