Full Day

It was my day to head north to my sewing people.  Amanda at Creative Stitches has done a great job of serving those of us that need our machines kept up.  Today was a day for me to pick up thread.  As the shop is changing out the brand of embroidery thread going forward, I needed to fill in some colors that I use with my machine.  I am going to have one brand in the sewing studio.  I hear too many stitchers that end up with a variety of brands.  The Isacord is what I started out with and that is what I will stick with.  $2.00 a spool compared to $5.80 per spool made the drive north an easy one.

I stopped in at Fairfax for a feel good stop.  Half of the Fairfax team was hard at it at Casey’s.  Finding out that all was well, I continued on my way home.  As I drove it was amazing how the crops are showing the season is soon changing.  

What to find when I drove in the drive . . . were mowers all gassed up and ready to hit the acre!  I didn’t argue.  Let’s get it done and then we can enjoy the satisfaction of having it done and having it look good for the weekend.  My portion around the house is quite diminished as I have been watering the very front, encouraging my grass seed to sprout.  There is evidence that we have success going and it was easier to use the weed whip to swipe at patches that needed a trim rather than run the mower over spots that are showing new growth.  Patience and water, water, water.  Just as Dennis was going to head east to begin mowing, he got a wasp sting in the back of his neck.  Those nasty buggers.  Ironically, any time either of us have ever gotten a wasp sting, it has been in the back of the neck.  Very telling that they like to sneak up on us.

It has been a full day.  Now, if I could wiggle my nose and have supper appear.  Dennis is not a fussy person, he may be on board for fried egg sandwiches with soup.  Gotta love the ole cowboy that is always on the move as to what is needed to be done.  Retired folks that say they are bored . . . we can’t relate to that.  Our kids work hard all week and we need to stay active as well.
