Daily Notes- May 7th

                                     

A box of things my husband dug out of the back of the closet where the hatch is to the crawlspace under the house.  He had to replace the smoke alarm.  I couldn't hear it giving off that annoying little beep but his new hearing aids picked it up and the sound was driving him crazy- kept saying "did you hear that?"  "no".

So---I now have a box of opened and half used things to walk around.  All of them look interesting. Two kinds of floor cleaner,  bleach,  liquid starch and washing soda.  And cleanser- -the only container making an interesting statement visually.  There was some sort of crafty thing to do with liquid starch.  Don't remember what.

During my "Insane Time Period" I would imagine. My Friend Patty took a look at the beige and floral rose printed fabric and said yes..... to me covering her chair seats with it.  I could also make some pillow covers. -(but I won't).  I am now going to have to look for my brand new- never used electric staple gun.  Purchased, I think in the "Insane Time Period" also.  I felt I needed an electric staple gun.

But perhaps it could be stretched (like canvas) and painted? with Acrylics.

Like I need another project.

I walked down to the fenced garden to water the little calendula seedlings.  They have decided NOT to wilt and then die which is very good news.  I set them out with a weather report of cool/cloudy/rain  in the forecast and we got sunny and dry instead--not a good combo with baby seedlings..  I need to sift more compost and fill the remaining herb garden squares.  At least do that.  At least do that. Not sure if it will happen.

I had to go to the grocery again this morning (under duress).  I hadn't counted husband's yogurt supplies and he was short three days.  Not good.. so I went this morning- after we drove to daughter's house as she was positive she had forgotten to lock her house door.  She was right.  And then I went into grocery to buy three individual servings of candy yogurt flips.  Because........
