I'm making progress on one cross stitch project: Upon A Star, which will have a wolf and some trees and a moon. So far it has some bits of some trees. It's a bit annoying to work on: the fabric is black, one of the colours of thread is very dark, and the days have been soooooo gloomy. But it's so pretty.
I have made zero progress on the WIP of the '60s mod fashion lady because of the annoying backstitch.
I did indeed go on the hike last week. We saw some cool butterflies. Today I walked into town to drop off some mending and found myself watching our town's (very small) Pride parade. I saw a sign that said "Pride is important because someone still thinks it's better to be dead than to be gay" and I started crying. A stranger from the parade came over and asked if I was okay. They gave me a hug and a flag. It was heartening to see so many people walking in the parade, but also heartbreaking thinking about everything going on in the world. Which I guess is still better than just being numb to it all.
