More Please
More days such as this . . . please.
I knew yesterday as I was tucking groceries where they needed to go that today, Friday, was already planned.
Today was mowing day! The air and yards were dry as humidity and the dewpoint were low. Mowing began at 10:30. I have moved on up in the world, as George Jefferson said. I am now able to start the zero-turn mower in the proper sequence and begin without any further instruction. I walked into the house at 1:30. Mission completion. Dennis is helping out a person new to the neighborhood and mowing her lot as well. When 93 year old Edna lived in that home, Dennis always took care of her yard. I am sure at some time a mower will be on the new owner’s tick list.
Before Dennis had rang the mowing bell, I had a few items I wanted tidied up in the studio. One fabric that ravels easily needed to be put under the surger. One of my patterns that I work off of in my bedroom porch needed to be copied. I often use a highlighter to keep track of where I am in my stitching and a throwaway copy comes in handy. I also had some blocks on the quilt top I am working on that needed pressing.
It is always more enjoyable to return to the studio if everything is up to snuff.
When I came in from mowing, I nabbed the last of the breakfast coffee and tuned in to a YouTube.
I brought out of the basement pantry a bag of Shore Lunch Chicken Noodle Soup. The contents are dehydrated. The contents are wide egg noodles, carrots, celery and herbs. Six cups of water brought to a boil. Contents of the bag are added and the kettle is simmered. I will then add a 12.5 oz can of white chicken meat that I will use a dinner fork to break apart and shred. It does make for a hearty soup. Good thing crackers were brought home yesterday. I generally don’t do crackers. Dennis uses enough that there is no broth to sip at the end. I am a sipper.
With that I take my leave. ♥
