On YouTube I’ve been discovering more craft based channels. I don’t think anything that can be cut, fastened, glued, twisted, or sewn hasn’t or isn’t being done. Amazing art. I’m developing a craving for decoupaging balloons with lace dollies.
Last gas up at the cheaper gas station was $4.00/gallon for regular unleaded. It was a shock for a second there. At other gas pumps, I’ve seen $4.59/gallon. 😱
An increase of arthritis discomfort in my knee is not a shock. I had a recent cortisone shot that helps, but I still can’t walk far. An exam for a possible knee replacement is scheduled.
Spring is at peak here in Vermont. After all the rain, the green everywhere is just stunning. Warmer sunny weather is welcome. Alas, there was a recent frost warning.

Gas here is between $5.29 to $5.59. If I drive into town, It's almost $6.00 a gallon. We are staying home and only going out when we have to. So sorry about your knee. I do love the flower.
ReplyDeleteNicole,
DeleteWow! Sorry prices there are so high.
What’s going on feels like the twilight zone badly written.

I'm glad spring is there in all her glory. I'm certainly enjoying it here on the other side of the country. Youtube is a wealth of creative ideas, and so many people are generous with their talents and instructions.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteYour Spring there is lovely. Youtuber crafters are great to watch.
I’m sure by Summer, I’ll have a lace balloon. 🤣

$4.00? Oh, I hope that's a good sign. Ours is $4.47 to $4.60. Sorry about the arthritis -- that has to be a pain (no pun intended.)
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteThe prices there are the same as here in Vermont.
Have you looked for a cheap gas station at a fuel company in your area?
May
We haven't gotten gas for awhile so I don't know what the current price is. We curtail our car trips as much as possible these days.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeletePumping gas nowadays is not a happy experience.
Y’all are saved from gas grief.

Fuel prices have increased here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your arthritis ... it can certainly be very painful, I hope your exam for a possible knee replacement goes ahead quickly.
All the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteEveryone I know that has had a knee replacement tells me it went well.
I’m not as anxious knowing the surgeon is so well thought of.

I hope the warmer weather will help your knee discomfort. Vermont must be so pretty during the spring. We are in full spring here in northern California, and it's getting warmer with each day. I don't watch the craft channels, but every now and then I'll watch a home decorating video. There are some talented decorators out there.
ReplyDeleteSheri,
DeleteI agree, there are talented decorators. Alexandra Gater’s Youtube channel is a favorite.

Beautiful flowers. I use public transit here in Montreal and have never owned a car so I can't really say too much about gas except that the prices have risen here.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
DeletePublic transportation gives a person a real perspective of the community.
I sometimes miss riding the bus, sitting there enjoying the scenery.

youtube really does open up a world of possibilities when it comes to crafting and just about anything. my mom is going through the same thing with her knee. at 92 i don't think they would operate!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
DeleteHealth, I believe, determines whether a surgery is all right. Some old folks have had the procedure.
Prayers for your Mother knee

The price of gas in Nashua. NH, varies between $4.29 to $4.59 but as I do a lot of walking to downtown locations, my car still has a full tank of gas from at least a couple of months ago. I know several folks in my age group who have had knee replacements and done very well and hopefully you will have the same experience if surgery is needed.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteThere are too many high prices everywhere. What scares me the most are the big data centers ruining people’s lives and our land.
