Spring is Gone
Spring is gone and now we can look forward to summer. Do I really want to? I did enjoy the early days of spring when the temps were in the high 60s and low 70s. The bugs weren’t paying attention as yet and I couldn’t wait to get outside and dig in the dirt. I did get some serious transplanting done amide rain showers. The last so called shower was two inches. I hope that that would have given all the new transplants enough rain to have settled the roots to soak up the fertilizer that was waiting for them.
We are enjoying days on Stauffer Avenue that are quiet. It is my kind of quiet. No alarms need to be set for early morning doctor appointments. Dennis always has the ability to run away to have coffee with various fellows. If all else fails, McDonald’s does not discriminate.
I worked on some items I call fillers in my sewing project. It was really important to have the fabrics cut at 1.5″. I don’t trust my left arm and hand to hold all things steady, so my weights came in handy. It does go to show that you never throw anything away that you have paid for. With so many finished blocks of various sizes, these finished 1″ inch
pieces will allow for justifying seams. Dennis came down and checked me out to see if I could still see straight. I had not rushed with this. I have my teak wooden rocker in the studio and it serves me well when I need to ponder my stitching.
Dennis had told me that our neighbor Edna had called him to help her get some items out for the recycling pickup. Dennis has mowed her adjoining yard to us for years. Edna was 98 this last week. Living on her own and as sharp as a tack. My, my! Edna is 20 years older than I am. It is something to aspire to.
