I’LL PLANT MY OWN TREE

“I’ll Plant My Own Tree” 

Another slow day weatherwise – so, I made a pot of coffee …

I used Bob's Grandma Smalley's electric Percolator. Most people like drip coffee, but I prefer to perk my coffee, so I’ll use this pot as long as it works ðŸ˜‰
Toffee-Hazelnut flavored coffee.

… and thumbed through pattern books looking for a pattern I’ve never used – and a pattern that would work well with my Angel Baby Blanket designs: and I found one that works 😊 It resembles a knitted version of the crochet Granny Square Stitch; and it works up quickly.

I only need one more blanket to fill the box, so I should be able to get these little remembrance blankets off sometime next week.

MOD's just about ready to mail off ...

I also surfed YouTube for movies to watch: I like the older movies.

Tonight, I saw that Valley of The Dolls was available to watch, so I watched it; it is not always available for free viewing.

I was a kid when it showed at the movie theatres – and it was X-rated, so of course I didn’t watch it until much later, when it was shown on TV late at night when the kiddies were snug as bugs in their beds. The movie covers every aspect of forbidden topics brought to the forefront of society’s changing progression forward. The subsequent movie, Beyond The Valley of The Dolls goes several steps further – and it really isn’t as well scripted.

Anyway.

I watched the movie; and knitted.

I watched the movie because it has Susan Hayward and Patty Duke in it.

I could relate the early-1960's counter culture storyline, and the songs woven throughout the movie; especially the ‘learning who I am’ song.

That song really speaks to where I am in my life, currently.

“I’ll plant my own tree, and I’ll make it grow; my tree will not be just one in a row …”
