Forecasts are Right On
I was outside this morning at seven. I was determined to get a few weeds taken care close to the east side of the house. Dennis had just washed off the house, so I knew all the weeds would need was a gentle tug from the damp soil. I accomplished my mission and had a fair amount of the pulled weeds to show for my efforts.
I have been cleared as far as my activities around our home and gardens. Bending is allowed. It will be my endurance that limits me. Sure enough. I knew when I had had enough. It may be that the weather forecast of higher humidity being right on target or possibly I had run out of steam. Either way, I was content with my progress of getting some unwanted greenery in the burn ring.
I settled on the sewing studio. I took the time to read up on a few tips for using different presser feet. I was ready to attach the third side of the border onto the tablecloth. With that accomplished, I was excited to work with two of the four mitered corners. It sure looked as if the seaming of the border print was going to allow for success. Yup, I had to get out my plastic 45 degree guides. One corner . . . perfect. The opposite corner . . . off by a half inch. I measured from the point of the miter as it traveled to the edge: Seventeen inches on the miter that had also met the 45 degree test. The opposite corner . . . seventeen and a half inches.
Dennis was down checking up on me and said the corners looked great . . . until I laid the tape measure down for a looksee. This was the perfect time to realize I needed to get out of the studio for a break. Dennis followed me up the steps to make sure I would leave it be for a time.
Dennis has settled in watching a rodeo on the RFD channel. I know if I sit in my rocking chair I will be most likely be checking my eyelids for cracks in a short order. Just what is needed to think things through. Had I stayed in the studio the temps outside would have been minimal. Tomorrow is a new day!
