Not Much to Report
When you awake during the night and the rain can be heard on the west awning, it’s not good.
Getting up at 7:30 and it is still drizzling, it’s not good.
I did make a run to Bird Island for some stitching supplies. Yes, it could be ordered online but small town businesses do need support. Amanda and Kelly have really been great support in the process of me learning the ins and outs of my machine.
I did favor a stop in Fairfax to briefly see how my Fairfax Team is dong. On all accounts they are doing well. I had a bottle of water with me but a maple flavored frosting donut called to me for a breakfast. Not an excellent choice but it was my road trip and a treat was called for.
As I was cruising down HWY #4, I recalled that Millner Sellner had the 2019 Hesston Belt Buckles in. Dennis has bee collecting them since 1975. It would be a great shame for him to be missing one at this late date. Without the original 1975 buckle the collection would be and is meaningless. Dennis is on his second wooden buckle case.
I drove home in rain. This wet fare is ours for the weekend. It was sad to see so many fields totally muddied up, as well as the surface of the highway as some soybeans and the late sweetcorn had been taken out.
The last portion of my day has been spent in the sewing studio with printed out charts of thread company colors. I have a plan for some embroidery. I have the design downloaded ready to go. The company that I purchased the design from uses Floriani threads. I have only invested in Isacord threads. I know too many gals who have multiple thread companies represented. How many of one color do you need! Hunting and pecking for comparable thread numbers is tedious but doable. What’s a stitcher to do, but power on. It’s not like I am stressed for time.
On a positive note, Dennis has put the rain gauge away for the season. We really do not need to keep track as it only harbors groans.
