Knitting Pipeline

My husband, Bob, joined me for a casual chat about what we are doing. He is always improving his coffee making ritual. Our word for the week is "wraith". We are seeing just a few signs of spring in our woods. I am in a major decluttering mode.

Enjoy,

Paula and Bob

I've been thinking of doing a journal style episode for a while so here it is. For the first time ever some of the audio just didn't record. I learned a lot in this first attempt. I hope you enjoy.

My husband, Bob, joined me in conversation about nature, words, books, and what's been going on with my knitting.

Thanks for listening.
