Health check-in smoke gets in your eyes and yogurt happens

 Today I wove again, no trouble from the shoulder from weaving, probably because it's large arm movements, so I'm happy about that, and about my selvedges which are holding up fine 

This was the color of the sunlight this morning



Orange sunlight from the smoke from the now extinguished fire in South Jersey and the northerly Nova Scotia fires.

I did get a walk, though the air quality isn't high..

And I did a bit of gardening, pruning off the spent flowers from the sage , watered the seedlings and small herbs.

I've got back to walking after a few days when it was too hot, and the difference to my back is terrific. I had been stiffening up, and probably that triggered the shoulder issue. It's also good for your spirits to walk. Just walk and look and listen, no audiobook nor music.

Icing, rest, range of motion exercises, ibuprofen all helped.  Doing much better today. But I'm listening to blogistas telling me not to rush back into knitting and spinning and getting back into trouble. I hear you! You're right. 

I'm making yogurt today, writing while waiting for the boiled milk to cool down.

I also finished the last of the dandelion leaf soup with the cannellini beans in it, and it really developed in the freezer. No bitterness at all, just a great flavor. 

Later this afternoon there's Textiles and Tea so I'll report on that tomorrow if it's interesting. 

Happy day, everyone.  My whistling is coming along.  About to practice Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, favorite ballad and appropriate today. Bigger than my range, makes my whistler tired.

Today more than ever 

As they cope with the catastrophic  attack on the dam.
