Nippy
This morning was not only nippy we had little balls of ice crystals everywhere. It reminded me of vermiculite, the insulation that had been used in times past. It also worked well in potting soil so the dirt would not compact allowing for air in the soil.
I didn’t get threads laid out for embroidery. I got side tracked to clean out some files on the flash drives that I use in my sewing machine. There were some as far back as 2017. It was taking up space and as many files on a flash drive, it took quite a while to download onto the sewing machine. The deleted files are still in my folders on the computer.
With these mild temps, the studio is chilly when the furnace doesn’t run often. The small heater blowing warm air across the legs felt good.
This morning I carried up our small crockpot from the basement closet. Getting it set up for Thursday morning. I have found out that using the original Pam sprayed into the crockpot or any item baking in the oven, really shortens up clean up time. It has to be the original as knockoffs leave burnt residue. Hmm.
Dennis came in needing some information. He was headed to Fleet Farm and needed the same of the plant fertilizer we have used in the past. Miracle Grow was what he was after. He has two large plants in the patio porch that he tends. The air in the porch needs all the filtering possible that plants can give. Tee Hee. Those two plants we have had since before I retired. Dennis gives them a haircut when they get out of hand. In the spring they sit outside and take rainwater and continue to thrive.
This afternoon I am doing hand stitching. We have off and on bright sunshine. Full sunshine on my stitching makes it difficult to see where my needle needs to go. Good filtered light makes for nice stitches.
Megan and I texted today. See goes back to school in Virginia January 14th. She says taking care of her mom’s store, from opening to closing over her Christmas break, may come in handy someday on a resume.
With that I take my leave. ♥
