QOTD: Dream by Moonlight

My finished watch cap

• Knitting

I finished my new watch cap! Really happy with how it turned out.

I want to learn more. For my next project, I’m going to give cables a try. I found a recommendation for an easy cabled hat. Will post more as it progresses.

Enjoy!

Walking more

• Exercise

I’ve been trying to walk more. Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, I’ve gotten even more used to just sitting ‘at home’ in front of a couple of computers for all waking hours.

Fortunately, the neighborhood I’m in has some really good walking areas. There is a great little park nearby, and the wonderful Ortega River Bridge is just down the road. According to my measurements, from my boat to the other side of the Ortega River Bridge and back is just over two miles.

"Empire Falls (Vintage Contemporaries)" by Richard Russo

• William Estep
• Club reading

Russo’s novel is wonderful! The characters, even the minor characters are real, tangible, quirky, heartwarming and heartbreaking. His writing style is rich and engaging; his style reminds me of John Cheever, or John Updike, John somebody anyway.

Empire Falls, a small mill town in Maine, has seen the last of the good times. Miles Roby grew up in Empire Falls, had a brief chance of escape while in college, but was drawn back because of his mother’s failing health. Now, middle aged and struggling to make ends meet, Miles runs the Empire Grill.
