Quite the Day
The main objective for the day was laundry. When Dennis works outside, it doesn’t matter if two t-shirts hit the laundry or a dozen. Clean clothes is desirable.
By 10:30, I was ready to ride shotgun over to the blue barn acre. Lopper and weed whip in the pickup and we were off. There is a lot of the Kudzu vines in the trees. We did cut a lot of it off, down to the roots. The next step will be our little pumper gallon sprayer with a strong mixture of RoundUp to go around the trees. There is one Black Walnut tree with a crop of nuts in the greenery. Right next to it is a very old Mulberry tree. The ground around it is full of berries that fell once they were too ripe to hang onto the branches. Every time Dennis mows it is looking better. Once tall weeds are cut, it gives the good grass a chance to stool out.
By twelve noon we were home, giving legs and arms a break.
I did go down into the studio and check the YouTube video on what the next steps would be for my project bag. Watching a video over and over breeds familiarity. What needed to come first was a good cleaning under the hood complete with oiling and a new needle after the embroidery I had done for Kersten. Using the machine doesn’t hurt as long as I keep it cleaned and oiled. Just like a valued vehicle.
Tomorrow may see some actual stitching.
When Dennis visited the studio, we agreed on soup with a fried egg sandwich on the side.
Happy Sunday coming around the corner.
