Nine Plus One Feather


I have this nine patch with circles up on the wall.  I walk past. I look.  And eventually am bothered by the "too nothing" look of this one circle.  So I added stitch to the outside edge.  Look at it for another week.  Decided on a feather floating.

My choice of color for the new embroidery was determined by the colors already present.  A new color might indicate a "disturbance in the Force".

And that would be one disturbance too many.  Already today my coffee maker decided to stop working.  Why not yesterday when we were out in the Spring weather and I could buy a new one? Why in a snowstorm which could become a blizzard.  And then there is the 2K replacement of the oil tank with the agent coming this morning to tell us that.  Plus, of course, the fees for disassembling the old one and removing it.  And the new tank will have to be in the garage-in plain sight. An unheated garage so it could also freeze in Winter.  I think--she says no.  She suggests kerosene.  A better fuel. And so much more expensive.

I was disagreeable.  Her visit was right after the coffee machine stopped working.  Nothing "sparkly" about me this morning.
