Bricks Needed
We went up to the courthouse this morning. First challenge was the wind from the north. I could have used bricks in my pants. The heavy railing they have put next to the sidewalk was used with every step I took.
I looked at the roster of department heads. My, my. All new from when I left service in 2009. We got our questions answered and Dennis got his new tabs for the little red pickup.
With the biggest task completed, I came into the house and went straight down to the studio. I was determined to make progress on the setup needed for my next project. Mission completion. I have multiple bobbins wound. The canvas has had the edges surged to prevent raveling. I have my canvas in the hoop. The tray with the collection of threads is on a tray within reach as they wait on the corner of the church table within reach of the sewing machine. A piece of purple fabric is on the ironing board. I will use that to add blocks to those long awaited embroidered designs that have nagged me long enough. So there!
I am not sure what Dennis is up to in the patio porch. We will be meeting up for a supper of chicken tenderloins, potatoes and cauliflower in a steamer bag.
I usually open the weather on my computer. I then expand the map to check for where the snow will be coming from. Nothing for the next 24 hours. I like that.
As soon as the kids to the south of us are off of the afternoon school bus, they are riding their bikes up and down on Stauffer Avenue. The contest seems to be which one can do some sharp turns making the most dust. So it is January 28th with 50 degree weather.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
