Happy odd day!
(for those of us who month first: 05/07/09)

I saw the first lilacs blooming last Friday. I forget between times how much I like them; the scent is entrancing.

As heard on NPR: an artist who makes bookbags. Which is to say, bags made from books.

I'd not known that outside English-speaking countries, it's quite common for crochet patterns to be in crochet symbols rather than words.

The hot days we had a couple of weeks ago had me planning my routes from shade to shade, just as when I was a little kid. It interests me how walking routes change with the weather: seeking maximal shade in the heat of the summer, maximal dryness when it's raining (avoiding not just puddles, but the area sprayed by road puddles when cars pass), and optimal passability/through routes with the best-cleared surface through the winter.

I'm pondering making some strawberry liqueur. Perhaps it could be used in a chocolate cake, or with angel food cake and fresh sliced strawberries.

A quote from Rosefox that I should keep in mind:
* There's no reason not to take chances when you're facing unemployment or unpaid time off. Start a business, or sing on a street corner, or volunteer, or travel. Your time is your own, and that can be nearly as good as having money.

Those crochet symbols are awesome. And they have puzzle written all over them.

They totally do, though 5 pages of symbols is rather a lot. Though for the Hunt, nothing is too much or too esoteric, right?
