Middle of the Week
The days don’t wait for anyone.
There is no shortage in the laundry basket. I had it sorted and three loads were on the docket. My way is to fold it as it dries.
I kept an eye on Dennis. Yesterday after getting our home acre mowed, he strung out the long hose towards the patio porch. With the patio under water for 36 hours, the amount of dried mud is nasty. Dennis started on the east patio with a broom brush in hand. That included getting the mud out of the patio door slides.
Today, Dennis continues with his dried mud job. Every time Dennis would take a break, I could see Snuggles crawling up Dennis’ belly so he could take a break as well.
In time Dennis’ grandson AJ and a friend will be coming to put the mower back on the Cub. In today’s mail a hand-hold assist came in the mail. It resembles the one Kevin put on at the top of the basement steps at Christmas time. This assist will be screwed to the top of one of the fenders of the Cub. It will help getting on and off safely. The assists on the zero-turn has proven to be a good thing, so more good things ensue.
Dennis realizes how weak his legs are as per the ultrasounds at radiology in Mankato. He does push himself by staying active outside but also taking breaks in his routines.
When I am in the studio with my ever trusty battery-operated radio, when there is music playing, I am apt to do a waltz or my version of the Jitter-Bug around the church tables. Visualize that for too long and it could cause sensory overload. I don’t sit for long times at the sewing machine. I could chain sew pieces of the pattern for a long time, but I choose to cut the chain and get on my feet and do some ironing.
Both of us realize that we need to keep moving so as to not give up what we enjoy . . . each and every day.
I continue building my Log Cabin pattern blocks. The larger the blocks get, the more material and time it takes. No marathons. This evening, I will pick up the cross stitch project for the circular wooden box of Grandma Schafer’s. I am halfway through the alphabet on the band that will go around the belly of the box. I am also contemplating a few designs to add to each end as the box is a hefty one. The circular design for the top is quite stitch heavy. Where am I going?
This evening it is waffles and breakfast sausages.
With that I take my leave. ♥
