Knitting at the county fair today. The first time I went to one of these after moving to the US a friend told me I had to eat something fried because it was "culturally significant to Americans" and I can't see deep fried fair food without thinking that now.
Goodmorning lovely people,
Rise and shine!
And although it's monday, it's also the first day of the rest of your life! Enough reason to make it a good day if you ask me 😊
As for me, I only had four hours of sleep last night, and I am very grateful right now that coffee exists ☕
Have a great monday, and don't forget to be kind!
Greetings from Holland🌷
