After the Storm
This morning with the sun and cooler temperatures it was hard to believe there had been so many warnings out. Our skies to the northwest didn’t look friendly at supper time. We did not get any amount of rain and no winds whatsoever. We were blessed.
With KNUJ on in the studio the rain totals were all over the map.
It was interesting listening to the interviews with the KNUJ moderators for the first day of Farm Feast. Hard to believe so much machinery and inventory is hauled out to the site for just three days. Even closing the gates at four every afternoon seems counter productive for businesses to hawk their wares.
Dennis has had success with his vegetation weed killer and went back to the acre this afternoon to spray another area. The good thing is that Dennis knows when to take a break. If he forgets, most likely his legs will threaten to buckle underneath him. Just as I no longer answer his phone when he forgets to carry it, I no longer keep tabs on his whereabouts when he is out and about on our property. There could be a correlation between the two.
I have been thinking about Esther Schafer’s full hank of silk floss. I have a stash of cross stitch fabric that may have been Carrie’s or mine or perhaps both of ours. The curiosity got the best of me and I had to take a look-see as to how it would work up. It handles in the needle beautifully. No twisting or knotting up. In the stash was several yards of banding. Not all designs work on an area of 2.25″ in width. I got out the gridded paper and struck out to see what I could see. No, I do not have a full yard in length charted. I am taking it slow. It is interesting to see how a length of floss that is variegated looks on fabric. I am not able to stay with it long as the fabric is slubbed. I am working two strands over two stitches on this 25-count fabric. Poking around and through the unevenness makes for a good challenge. I am always up for a good one.
Dennis reported he got one of the Harbor Freight sprayers emptied and then let the mosquitoes reign.
I have taken out of the freezer an oven meal for supper. Do I remember what concoction it is? No. A mystery meal is to be had.
With that I take my leave. ♥
