Last Friday
Last Friday saw me putting down 20 bags of Scott’s Lawn Soil complete with fertilizer into truck trenches across the east side of our home adjacent to our patio. This morning there were thousands of needle fine sprouts coming up. Man oh man what a site for sore eyes. I have been giving the areas a good sprinkle every day as Dennis had hooked up a hose on the north side of the house for me.
By the time I got home from my walk this morning, I could feel the heat that would be coming for the afternoon. The walk had taken me a bit longer this morning as I stopped to chat with Chuck along the way as he was weeding his potatoes. When I got home I parked my butt on the patio to cool down. June from down the way was walking by on her way home and she took a break and sat on the patio for her break. Stauffer Avenue has groomed some very faithful walkers.
My afternoon was spent in the sewing studio. I had not turned on the machine for several weeks. I am going to finish a quilt that Megan started when she was here for Thanksgiving break in 2018. Her world has changed since. The ice skating had heavy schedules of practice non stop. That shut down immediately with the virus. She is pulling 26 hours a week at the Mustard Seed Nursery not far from her home. I did check with Megan before planning on finishing it. There will always be another option in a quilt shop if she so decides.
I have supper under way and I think we will be having a quiet day tomorrow if the heat does what the weather man forecasts. Take care, stay comfortable and for myself . . . I am thankful I sweat during hot times.
