It Was Not to Be
I was totally planning on spending the day on some sewing items. Last night when I finished cleaning up the kitchen from making cookies, my plans were whirling in my mind. This morning with the sun bright and warm temperatures, the sewing was not to be. Making sure I had a charged battery in the weed whip, I headed to take down all of the perennials. In past years we would have had a killing frost by now. Not. The perennials were lush with stems filled with lots of juice. I went through my two batteries and finished with the garden shears. It did need to get done. Better doing it with warm sun beams and not chilling arthritic fingers paying a price. Snuggles and I took quite a few breaks. Snuggles would find some foliage that I had whacked and settle in the sun. If I headed to the patio to sit a spell, Snuggles was right there to curl up on my lap. His moral support was great. When Dennis returns from a trade show, I know we will be pulling leaves and foliage out into the open and Dennis will have the riding mower ready to do some mulching. The sewing studio will welcome me when the air has a crisp nip. Today Snuggles and I did what was needed. Both of us will rest well this evening.
