True to Form
True to form, Dennis and I had a busy day. The sun and the wind had a hand in pushing us into checking in with each other as to what was needed. A week and a half ago there was a wet spell. On the first day of the drizzle and mist Dennis and I were out seeding the backyard via our garden hose and the seed mousse. The applicator needed refilling quite often. The supply of seed and mousse was in the patio porch to keep it dry. We had gotten some of our oldest carpet rag rugs on board for our muddy feet as we were in and out. After they had dried Dennis shook and shook to get most of the mud off, leaving a grungy gray rug. Tuesday’s are the best day to hit the launderette here in town. A pocket full of quarters was needed. It’s not that I would not wash them at home, but our economy sized stackable needs to last us for some years to come and the launderette has the huge heavy duty front load washing machines. We dry them just enough on site so when we get home with them it takes just a bit and then they are draped over the kitchen stools to finish off the job. Even though the sun is out, there is no way they would dry if hung outside.
Dennis couldn’t help it. He has promised that this will be the last time of running the rider mower around clipping the grass that had grown a bit. Some was tall, some was small . . . it made no matter to Dennis, he whacked it all.
I had been keeping my ears open when some of Dennis’ family was around. This afternoon I got my scrap box of fabrics out. I had gotten the flower feed sacks washed yesterday and today I got out a pattern that used various scraps of colorful fabrics to do applique apples. No rhyme or reason for colors whether of fabric or of thread. Would they need to be embellished? Not! What fun would that be for me! Fun projects that have high utility. Priceless.
