Daily Notes- February 9th


My Scrap Basket.   Like a compost pile.  Let it sit and eventually something lovely happens.  This pile is still too young to have anything good.  Probably needs a good stir. And more cutting and trimming for blocks etc.  (that floral print to the lower left is saying "pick me" so I might have to see what it wants to be)

Work this morning--I got there just as the door openers arrived.  Three people showed up for the class and they had good questions and since it was only the three, we went thru the notes and then had a chat regarding what they had wanted to know.  No one was watching so I emptied the floral trash and got a nice good bag of flowers etc for my compost.  They had cleaned many dozens of roses so lots of rose leaves (picked of the stems).   I even have a few of the broken red roses in a jam jar--my own tiny bouquet.

I did remember to buy fruit tree spikes (fertilizer) for the Queen of Plums and the two Peaches.  As soon as the Earth is thawed--I'll pound the spikes in around the root balls.  I even have some spikes for the Fig.

I'm watching Rugby for the very first time today and it's quite fascinating.  I'm rooting for Scotland which is behind right now by 9 points.  MSNBC isn't very interesting and our public tv station is doing another endless round of fund raising.

I wore a line shirt to work today--green --and gave it a spray of starch and a quick iron--just laid flat and pressed.  I may even do that to the summer camp linen shirts.  Just a quick one sided flat iron instead of wearing the shirts rumpled as they arrive out of the dryer.  We'll see.

Well the Rugby is calling me.
