Summer is Here
I thought I would be outside again today . . . not! This Grammie got out of bed too fast and brought about a feeling of less than. Not consistent dizzy but enough and often enough that my place today is indoors.
I moseyed down to the studio about noon. Dennis came in from outside and thought I had found the perfect spot as it was fairly uncomfortable to be doing any gardening. He had been mowing one lot at a time. That fellow does enjoy mowing grass. Keeping him hydrated is very important to this ole cowboy.
My quilt top is getting to the point of running a tape measure. Sixty one inches square. Putting in a new blade into the rotary cutter, I decided to cut some border fabric. The first border to be sewn on will be the same mottled black as the sashing that is between the blocks. I will finish with an orange border to tie in the corner stones and bias tape trimmings. As this is the first of two duplicate quilts, I decided to cut fabric for the second quilt while I was at it. The sixteen blocks are prepared and having the sashings and cornerstones done will put the decision making process to be little to none. I was in no mood to turn on the sewing machine today. Getting prep work done felt right.
This morning Dennis saw the wound doctor here in our clinic and tomorrow we see the surgeon’s second in command at the Mankato hospital. Right now when I do the dressing change each day, I have to pack the tiniest piece of gauze that has been made wet by the acetic acid wash into that tiny wound. This is to prevent the area from healing too fast. It needs to heal from the depth to the surface. It would be great if Dennis could begin wearing a shoe on the left foot. I do know from past appointments that Dennis has very touchy skin on his feet thanks to conditions from the time in Korea. Even the gal that does pedicures here in town takes special care.
With the warm temps and daily warnings of possible thunderstorms, yup . . . summer is here.
Catch you tomorrow if the Mankato trip doesn’t take us into a late day.
