Daily Notes- June 7th

Cloth that was Clothing.  I like how my scissors are picking up a floral pattern from something on the wall.  Under the scissors the Banana Republic Irish linen men's shirt (can almost see how soft it is).   The red and tan woven cloth from the vintage Bean capri pants.  The white?  Don't know.  Something on the ironing board.

I am continuing my "elimination diet" of household items.  I emptied a very old (vintage) plastic laundry basket--70's gold-- and washed it in the sink and then picked up all my various scrap cloth off the sewing room floor and filled it.  I don't have a River Basket.  So this old laundry basket will do. I also sorted the scrap cloth in two paper grocery bags.  It's now where it should be--meaning where I would go looking for it.  I also removed all the food magazines  (past few years) from the wing chair.  It's moving on to Goodwill.  We are discussing whether it's ottoman goes with or stays. It's still in perfect condition because it's very uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time.  But it is very handsome and looks amazing in a corner by a window.  Welcoming.  Until you sit down.

The walk was sunny and HOT.  Close to 80 degrees today and I don't breathe very good in humid heat.  Had to use the rescue inhaler on the walk.  Now I am sitting here, drinking liquids to hydrate myself and resting and breathing.  We were going to cut grass today.  Later, I think. G is still feeling okay so he is down back watering my zucchini plants, the herbs and the grapes.

I treated myself to a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich yesterday.  Other than breakfast, it was the major part of yesterday's food intake.  I had it on fresh Honey Oatmeal bread from the bakery in Town. It was wonderful.  Today I think I am having a Big Green Salad and Tuna. The weather is getting warm enough for me to enjoy my Smoothies.  Cashew nuts (raw), frozen banana, frozen peach and a few blueberries.  Yogurt if I have any. Water.  It gets really thick.  And it's so delicious.

Well, I can take deep breaths.  It's gets a bit scary when I can't.  Sorry if I have run on here and been boring--but the typing worked to relax my lungs.  Now I think I am going to sew several small pieces of random cloth into a long rectangle.  By hand.  With stitches that are visible.
