Shifting Gears
This morning Dennis and I both have recovered from the day of yard work that we enjoyed yesterday. The acre looks stunning. The areas where there are Hosta and such . . . stunning.
We are realizing that with the summer conditions our mowing will be slowing down. With these summer fluctuations of heat and humidity, we are so thankful that the physical work on the out-buildings are done. That “done” will remain for several years to come. It was slow and steady since the first of May. Hello July 16th! There isn’t so much as a penny to rattle in the job jar. We are awaiting some shutters to come via Home Depot. We were told in the first part of May that the covid would be delaying deliveries. When they do arrive the prep work of the patio porch has been completed.
This morning as Dennis and I were sitting on the patio, I was asked what my day held. Rare as it may seem . . . I was speechless. I definitely need to shift gears. My early afternoon was down in the sewing studio checking things out. When Dennis came down to play a game of solitaire on the old Dell laptop, he found me with pencil in hand jotting down a few notes. Dennis took that as a good sign that I may be onto something. On to something is where I am at. Checking to make sure that what I have in mind is what I already have on hand. Last year I had made Christmas felt tree ornaments for send-outs to family and friends. This year I need to hatch out a new item . . . all of it coming from what is within the sewing studio. Given enough head scratching and “what ifs,” July is a good time to get things rolling.
I sure have missed getting together with the stitchers for a luncheon in Mankato. It seemed as if the ideas flew around Baker’s Square like a wind storm and solutions were abound. February seems like a lifetime ago. But . . . here we are on a Thursday. Thursdays are always rewarding. The day brings satisfaction to what has been done and it also gives us a window as to what the weekend may have in store. It’s a good thing.
